Orientation at Kilgore College is a time for new students
and their families to become better acquainted with the college, its
campuses and communities. There is time to meet college faculty and
staff, as well as other students. Orientation staff and student leaders
spend time with you and make every effort to make you feel welcome
and ready to begin your college career.
Who should come to Orientation?
Orientation is required for all first time college students in order to register for Fall 2008 classes. This applies to all students who have not earned college credits prior to the Summer 2008 session. Transfer students and high school graduates who took dual-credit or early admission courses will attend as well.
Why come to Orientation?
Because you will:
- Meet other students
- Find out about campus life and activities
- Meet with an advisor
- Register early for Fall semester

Unless

be received at Kilgore College before a student can be advised or
registered for classes. If you are exempt because of TAAS/TAKS scores,
you should check with our counseling office at 903-983-8206 or the
Student Success Office At 903-988-7537. You will need other scores
to be eligible to enroll in certain college level math courses. There
are plenty of testing dates scheduled so that students who are coming
to Orientation can take their test ahead of time.

and often. Please see contact information by selecting Testing Department

Meet Your Orientation Leaders!
Only eight outstanding and enthusiastic students were selected as Orientation
leaders for 2007-2008. All of them had to meet stringent qualifications, including
being recommended by Kilgore College faculty/staff, and having an individual
interview with the Orientation staff. These are your peers, so you will
enjoy getting to know them and learning the ropes about Kilgore College from
students who are a lot like you!
