What else do you need to know about Orientation?
Unless
you are TASP/THEA exempt, TASP/THEA or alternative test scores must
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.
