Yes! Kilgore College understands the variety of responsibilities and stresses that students may face and the reality of food insecurity for some of our students. The KC Student Food Pantry stocks nonperishable food items and some personal hygiene items for commuter students in need. (Those who live in the residence halls are required to have a meal plan from KC Dining Services.)

Kilgore College has two food pantries. The Kilgore location is in the Devall Student Center. For assistance, talk to a representative located at the Visitor Center.  It is open Monday-Friday during regular college business hours (during long semesters when school is in session). To qualify, requestors must be currently enrolled at KC and a commuter student.

On the Longview campus, students need to go to the front office in the Hendrix Building for information about accessing the food pantry.

For other basic needs, please contact the Instructional Student Support office. This office can advise students on what resources may be available for assistance with child care, books, housing, financial issues and more.

Did you know that KC has a full-service salon in Longview that offers haircuts, coloring services, facials, manicures, pedicures and more to the public? KC students can get a discount! Call for details: (903) 753-7730.

Parks Fitness Center (PFC) at Kilgore College is a full-service workout and fitness facility on the campus in Kilgore. All full-time enrolled KC students can use this facility upon presentation of their KC student ID card (Ranger Card).

A nurse is also available for students in the Parks Fitness Center during limited hours. Student health services are available at no cost. For emergency first aid, an athletic trainer is also available in the Parks Fitness Center.

There is a Grade Point Average (GPA) projector located in your AccessKC online portal.

The semester GPA is the total number of grade points earned divided by the number of semester hours attempted including developmental hours. The career GPA is calculated by dividing the total number of grade points earned by the total number of semester hours attempted by the student in all terms excluding developmental hours. Semester grade symbols have the following values: A=4 points; B=3 points; C=2 points; D=1 point; F or I=0. W and IP are not included in the calculations of the GPA.

Students can do both online! Visit this page for detailed instructions from the Registrar’s Office.
