Kilgore College is a publicly supported, two-year, comprehensive community college offering postsecondary educational opportunities.
In 1935, what was to become Kilgore College was the idea of Mr. W. L. Dodson and the community of Kilgore, Texas. Since the early part of the century, "KC" has become recognized as one of the finest two-year institutions in the South. Our campuses, located in Kilgore and Longview, continue to serve many students from not only the surrounding area, but also throughout Texas, across the United States, and internationally. Expanded opportunities for students to enroll through distance education has positioned Kilgore College as a leader in innovation and learning.
In the beginning, the curriculum was designed to serve university-bound students; today, the college also offers education and training in a wide variety of career and technical programs and short-term workforce development certificates. Excellent student services extend from admissions through advising to completion and graduation. Student scholarships and aid have increased significantly through the committed work of generous donors and the Kilgore College Foundation.
We are also the home of an excellent athletic program that most recently saw the Men's Basketball Team competing at the National tournament in Hutchison, Kansas. Tradition and Kilgore College history are honored through the performances and outreach of the world-famous Kilgore College Rangerettes, and the cultural and educational programming of the East Texas Oil Museum. KC is also home to The Texas Shakespeare Festival and its seasonal offerings continue to engage audiences by providing a high-caliber theatrical experience for performers and patrons alike.
Kilgore College provides a learner-centered environment that focuses on student access, success and completion via collaborative partnerships.
The mission statement of Kilgore College is consistent with the Texas Education Code 130.0011, which states that the mission of public junior colleges shall be two-year institutions primarily serving their local taxing districts and service areas in Texas and offering vocational, technical, and academic courses for certification or associate degrees, as well as continuing education, remedial and compensatory education consistent with open-admissions policies.
We commit to be the higher education institution of choice in Northeast Texas.
Students are expected to assist in maintaining an environment that is conducive to learning. Inappropriate or distractive behavior is prohibited in order to assure that everyone has an opportunity to gain from time spent in the course. Should a disruptive incident occur, the faculty member in charge may remove the student. Students have the right to appeal.
Kilgore College seeks to provide equal educational and employment opportunities without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, disability, marital status, veteran status or genetic information. Residence halls are specifically designated, however, for male or female occupancy. Kilgore College is striving to provide facilities that are barrier-free for students who have physical challenges.
Kilgore College's main campus is at 1100 Broadway, Kilgore, TX, in Gregg County. Kilgore, a city of more than 14,000, is in the northeast section of the state commonly referred to as the Piney Woods. This area is one of the most scenic in Texas with its pine and hardwood forests, lakes, rivers, streams, and hills. The area is also rich in natural resources. Kilgore lies in the middle of what was once one of the most productive oil fields in the continental United States.
Located four miles south of Interstate 20 on US Hwy. 259, Kilgore is 120 miles east of Dallas, TX, 70 miles west of Shreveport, LA, and 10 miles southwest of Longview, TX, a city of over 82,000 residents.
KC-Longview, at 300 S. High in Longview, also offers day and evening courses for workforce education courses/programs, and community education and lifelong learning courses. Kilgore College also offers courses in selected academic transfer, workforce, and adult and continuing community education and lifelong learning programs at area public schools.
The University of Texas at Tyler Longview University Center, at 3201 N. Eastman Road in Longview, offers Kilgore College courses for college transfer and courses designed for a bachelor's degree in Business Management and Education.
Classes are also held in the following facilities:

Kilgore College (KC) welcomes applications for admission. Kilgore College has no application fee and accepts the ApplyTexas application or the AccessKC application for admission (www.kilgore.edu). All other admissions information is available online or from the Office of Admissions, Kilgore College, 1100 Broadway, Kilgore, TX 75662-3204, phone (903) 983-8209. Individuals who do not enroll in the semester for which they applied will be required to complete a reactivation form or a new admissions application.
The college has an "open door" admission policy ensuring that all persons who can profit from post-secondary education will have an opportunity to enroll. Admission to the college does not imply admission to all programs. Applicants to any of the health occupations programs must meet special entrance requirements and complete an application form for the desired program. Specific requirements for these programs are explained under "Health Science Programs".
KC offers the following general admission categories:
The college also offers special admission options.
All materials required for admission to the college must be on file in the Office of Admissions prior to registering for classes.
When applying for the December Mini term or the May Mini term for Admissions or Financial Aid, please note the following, as this is regarding admission applications, refunds on accounts, and financial aid refunds:
Kilgore College encourages all applicants to start the admissions process early. Students submitting applications and completing the admissions process by the respective admissions priority date can take full advantage of early registration opportunities. Students registering early are more likely to get the courses they desire on their preferred dates and times. Later applicants may find less flexibility in scheduling. Kilgore College's Admissions Application Priority Dates are as follows:
|
|
Fall Semester |
July 1 |
|
|
Spring Semester |
November 1 |
|
|
Summer Terms |
April 1 |
Any reference to high school or college transcripts submitted for admission means that an official transcript is required. To be considered "official", transcripts must:
All transcripts submitted become the property of KC and cannot be returned. Records of students who do not enroll may be destroyed after one year.
Students who have a diploma from an accredited public or private high school; who have completed a nontraditional secondary education course of study in a non-accredited private school setting, including a home school; or who have successfully completed a Certificate of High School Equivalency (formerly called the GED) and who have attempted no college (other than dual credit coursework) must meet the following requirements:
Kilgore College will not recognize a student as a high school graduate who has obtained a diploma through a school or online program that requires only payment of a fee with little or no coursework requirements. Determination of the legitimacy of these diplomas will be at the discretion of the Office of Admissions. Graduates of such programs will be considered for admission on an individual approval basis (see Individual Approval section below).
Students who are transferring from another college or university must meet the following requirements:
Note:
Transfer students meeting the above requirements who are seeking a KC degree will have transferable credit posted to their Kilgore College transcript no later than the end of the first academic term in which they are enrolled. However, students seeking to transfer credit from non-regionally accredited institutions must petition to have credits transferred. Students must also furnish supporting documents to substantiate that the course outcomes and faculty credentials are equivalent to those of KC courses, as described in the form.
Readmission is available to formerly enrolled students who have not enrolled in KC for one or more long semesters (spring or fall term) and who wish to return. Students who have been away from KC for one long semester (spring or fall term) may submit a reactivation form available in the Office of Admissions. Students who have been away from KC for more than one long semester must reapply for admission. Whether these students were forced to leave (academic or disciplinary suspension) or chose to leave, they must meet the following requirements:
Submit a new Application for Admission or Reactivation Form as applicable as early as possible prior to registering for classes. We recommend students apply by the appropriate application priority date.
Transient students are those pursuing a degree elsewhere who attend Kilgore College for a long semester (fall or spring), December Mini, May Mini or summer terms and intend to return to their previous college or university. Students must be enrolled at their prior institution in the long semester (fall or spring) immediately preceding admission as a Kilgore College transient student. Traditionally, transient students enroll while home for the winter or summer breaks or for a single long semester.
Transient students are limited to one long semester (fall or spring) the December Mini, or May Mini and/or summer terms. Previous transient students are required to reapply if they return as a transient student for a future term. Should a transient student decide to continue at Kilgore College immediately following the transient term, the student must reapply as a transfer student and meet all transfer admission requirements.
When applying for admission, select the appropriate semester. December Mini students should use the spring admissions application. May Mini students should select the summer admissions application. The applicant should select the Non-Degree-Seeking Academic major option. Also indicate you are a transient-seeking a degree elsewhere on the application.
We recommend you apply by the appropriate application priority date. Students must request an official transcript from the school which they are currently attending to be sent to Kilgore College. Proof of other prerequisites may be required if the student has attended more than one college.
All visiting students should consult their academic advisor at their home institution to ensure applicability of courses prior to KC registration. It is the responsibility of the transient student to request an official KC transcript be sent to their home institution: https://www.kilgore.edu/current-students/registration-transcripts/transcript-request
Transient students cannot use financial aid awarded at their home institution at Kilgore College.
Section 51.931 of the Texas Education Code provides Texas residents with the "Right to an Academic Fresh Start". A student who is returning to Kilgore College after an absence of at least 10 years may seek a fresh start by requesting approval to use the Second Chance Policy upon application for readmission. Under this policy, all Kilgore College coursework completed 10 or more years prior to readmission is eliminated from computation of the grade point average (GPA). None of the coursework can be used to meet degree or prerequisite requirements, though the work remains on the student's record. In addition, coursework cannot be used to satisfy Texas Success Initiative requirements. Further, no credit will be given for transfer coursework earned 10 or more years ago. A student readmitted under this policy is placed on academic probation.
The student must seek application of this policy when applying to return to KC. The policy must be used on or before the last day of the semester or term in which the student returns to school.
Financial aid and veterans benefits may be affected by this policy. Acceptability of this policy by other colleges is solely at the discretion of the receiving institution. Additional information about this policy is available from the Office of the Registrar. Phone (903) 983-8606.
Students who exhibit exceptional academic ability may apply for admission to KC and take college courses while completing high school according to the following policy. All students who enroll in classes at KC prior to high school graduation are considered dual credit students.
For a complete explanation of KC's dual credit policy, please see the Dual Credit Handbook: https://www.kilgore.edu/admissions/dual-credit-students/
Students who do not meet the Freshman or Transfer admissions guidelines, may be admitted conditionally on an individual approval basis at the discretion of the Office of Admissions. This category includes students who have not graduated from high school or earned a Certificate of High School Equivalency or whose high school credential is not recognized by the Office of Admissions. Students admitted as Individual Approval must provide evidence of successful completion of the Certificate of High School Equivalency or graduation from a recognized high school during the first semester of enrollment, or future enrollment will be blocked.
Federal regulations state that students admitted with this status must successfully complete one of the following requirements in order to be eligible for Title IV financial aid consideration:
All non-immigrant alien students seeking F-1 Visa category are managed by the Office of the Registrar. Students must submit and meet the following criteria:
Note: The U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service Form I-20 will not be issued until admission procedures are completed to the satisfaction of the Office of the Registrar.
Note: International students are subject to the requirements of the Texas Success Initiative (TSI-Assessment).
Additional English proficiency testing may be required prior to registration. During the entire period of study at KC, each international student is required to purchase health and accident medical insurance.
Kilgore College encourages all applicants to start the admissions process early. Applications submitted after the respective international admissions priority date will not be guaranteed acceptance for that semester. Kilgore College's Admissions Application Priority Dates for international students are as follows:
|
|
Fall Semester |
July 15 |
|
|
Spring Semester |
November 15 |

|
Summer Semester |
March 15 |
Health Science Programs
Health science programs have additional entrance requirements and recommend early application. Admission to the college in no way implies or guarantees entrance to the professional health science programs. Prior to making application to any professional health science program, the student should contact the health science academic advisor. To schedule an appointment with a Health Science Academic Advisor, please visit the KC Academic Advising website. Entrance procedures are designed to ensure fairness to each applicant. To ensure orderly and timely progress toward acceptance, progression, and completion of the desired health science program, the student is responsible for seeking advice, for knowing and meeting requirements of the health science program of interest, for enrolling in courses appropriate to that program, and for taking courses in the proper sequence.
Note: An applicant must show evidence of good physical and mental health. If accepted into a health science program, the student must submit a medical record and certification of immunizations for measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR), tetanus, and, in most cases, Hepatitis B. Updated immunizations are an integral part of health care and provide protection against these communicable diseases.
The Office of the Registrar may grant a student permission to audit a course for special reasons. Courses involving computers, equipment, labs, clinicals, etc. also require departmental approval. Such permission gives the student only the privilege of observing and does not include submitting papers or taking tests. A student desiring to audit a course fills out an application for admission, submits official transcripts, completes an audit request form, and registers in the Office of the Registrar only after regular registration and on a space-available basis. Audit students are required to meet the same admissions requirements as all other students, with the exception of placement testing. Tuition and fees for auditing are the same as those fees charged for enrolling in a course for credit. The college will not refund tuition and fees paid to audit a course.
The college highly recommends that each student take precautionary measures by keeping inoculations current. According to the Texas Department of Health, those born in 1957 or later may not have been properly immunized. The single dose measles immunization that many received is inadequate. The classroom setting increases the chance of exposure. If a student was born after January 2, 1957, the student should see his or her physician or visit a public health clinic for proper immunization against measles (two doses of measles vaccine administered on or after the first birthday and at least 30 days apart), rubella (one dose of rubella vaccine on or after the first birthday), and mumps (one dose of mumps vaccine on or after the first birthday). The tetanus vaccine is effective for about ten years and should be boosted at ten-year intervals in combination with the diphtheria vaccine. It is common for older adults to develop tetanus because many have not received booster shots.
Bacterial Meningitis is a serious, potentially deadly disease that can progress extremely fast - so take utmost caution. It is an inflammation of the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord. The bacteria that cause meningitis can also infect the blood. This disease strikes about 3,000 Americans each year, including 100-125 on college campuses, leading to 5-15 deaths among college students every year. There is treatment, but those who survive may develop severe health problems or disabilities. All entering students under 22 years of age must provide documentation of receiving an initial bacterial meningitis vaccination dose or booster within the last 5 years. All new, transfer, or former students who are returning must show proof of having the vaccination at least 10 days prior to the start of the semester. Students may not register until documentation of vaccination is on file. Proof of the bacterial meningitis vaccination must be provided to the Office of Admissions (provide copies, not originals). Kilgore College will not return vaccination records submitted nor provide copies for use at other schools. Records may be mailed, faxed, or delivered in person.

Students age 22 or older are exempt. A student is not required to submit evidence of receiving the vaccination against bacterial meningitis if the student, or a parent or guardian of a student, submits to the institution an affidavit or a certificate signed by a physician who is duly registered and licensed to practice medicine in the United States, in which it is stated that, in the physician's opinion, the vaccination required would be injurious to the health and well-being of the student.
The only means by which a student can object to vaccination for enrollment purposes is to use the Texas Department of State Health Services' current, official form for conscientious objection. Complete the online form at https://co-request-jc.dshs.texas.gov/. After entering all the requested information, print the form, sign it, date it and submit the form to the Office of Admissions before registering for courses.

Advisement
Students who have not completed the Texas Success Initiative must see an advisor each semester prior to registration. The advisor will monitor their progress toward completing required developmental coursework and will assist each one with course scheduling. To schedule an appointment with an Academic Advisor, please visit the KC Academic Advising website
Payment of tuition and fees entitles the student to admission to classes, copies of transcripts, a subscription to the college newspaper, use of the Student Center facilities, campus health services, and the use of the recreational facilities for students taking eight hours or more. The college reserves the right to change tuition and fees in keeping with the acts of the Texas Legislature and the KC Board of Trustees.
Registration is not completed until payment of tuition and fees is made. A student may make payment in person by cash, check or money order payable to Kilgore College. Visa, MasterCard, or Discover credit card payments are acceptable upon presentation of the credit card. The student must provide positive identification for any payment to the college. Two-party checks, payroll checks, or postdated checks are not acceptable. Payments are also available by credit card on the Kilgore College website at Payment Options | Kilgore College .
Payment options, including Installment Plans, are available on the Kilgore College website at Payment Options | Kilgore College . A credit card or bank account number is required for payments made via the web. Installment plans are only available on the website and may not be set up in person.
Kilgore College reserves the right to send unpaid accounts to a collection agency. The student will be responsible for any collections and/or attorney's fees.
The college will assess a $35.00 service charge for each returned check, including "stop payment" orders. Excessive returned checks will result in suspension of check writing privileges.
All monetary holds on student accounts must be paid by cash, money order, or credit card. CHECKS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
Texas Education Code Section 54.052 outlines the guidelines for determining Texas residency classification. Guidelines for determining in-district and out-of-district classification are based on the Kilgore College Property Tax District and policies of the Kilgore College Board of Trustees, and are detailed below. Tuition is based on residency status and the number of semester hours in which a student enrolls. The following define the types of residency status:
The college will require the student to sign an oath of residency as part of the admission application process. It is the student's responsibility to use the proper residence classification. If there is any question as to right of classification as a resident of Texas or the Kilgore College Property Taxing District, it is the student's obligation, prior to or at the time of registration, to raise the question with the Office of Admissions.
The student should report any change in residency status to the Office of Admissions before registration. Likewise, a student classified as a non-resident will remain in that status until such time as the student has requested reclassification and the Office of Admissions has officially approved the request. If inaccurate or fraudulent information is provided by the student to document residency status, the student will be held for repayment of any tuition/fees that were under-charged as a result of that information. Reclassification requests must be initiated by the student. Residency status changes are not made automatically.
For reclassification to be effective for a specific semester, the request for reclassification and any documentation must be submitted to the Office of Admissions on or before the official reporting date (ORD) of the semester. The ORD may be found in the college academic calendar or by calling the Office of Admissions. The student should direct all questions concerning residency status to the Office of Admissions, located in the Devall Student Center. Phone (903) 983-8209.
Classification as a Texas resident requires that the student substantiate residence in Texas for the immediate twelve months preceding registration. Factors other than time in the state may affect residency classification. For example, the legal home address of a student who is dependent for income tax purposes is considered to be the address of the parent(s) claiming the student. Also, students who come to Texas for the purpose of education are ineligible to claim Texas residency for tuition purposes as long as they remain in school. A complete evaluation of individual circumstances is provided at the time of application for admission. Additional information is available from the Office of Admissions (903) 983-8209. In addition to the core residency questionnaire, documents acceptable for this purpose may include, but are not limited to, an official Texas high school transcript, the employer's statement of date of employment, lease agreement, a permanent Texas driver's license (at least one year old), and a Texas voter registration.
All Texas residents are classified as out-of-district until sufficient information is on file to verify in-district residency. The legal home address of a student who is dependent for income tax purposes is the address of the parent/guardian claiming the student. Therefore, the residency status of a dependent student is based upon the residence of the parent/guardian. EXCEPTION: If a parent/guardian who does not claim the student for income tax purposes lives in-district, the student may be granted in-district residency (proof of parental status/guardianship and in-district residence are required). Students who are independent for income tax purposes must establish their own residence in the district. Students who are under age 24 must provide proof of independence. Documents acceptable for verifying in-district residency may include, but are not limited to, a permanent Texas driver's license, a property tax receipt, a lease agreement, and a utility bill. Additional information is available from the Office of Admissions (903) 983-8209.
The KC Board of Trustees has waived the difference between out-of-district resident rates and in-district rates for a person and his or her dependents who own residential real estate in the Kilgore College Property Taxing District. Additional information for required documentation is available from the Office of Admissions (903) 983-8209.

In order to receive a refund of tuition and fees, a student must officially drop or withdraw through the Office of the Registrar. The student is personally responsible for dropping a class and/or withdrawing from enrollment. The college will refund tuition and fees for courses dropped or for withdrawal from school within the timetable published in the online Registration Guide. Refunds will be issued in the same semester as the withdrawal. If a scheduled course fails to materialize, the college will return 100% of tuition and fees, with the exception of late fees, matriculation fees, and reinstatement fees. A matriculation fee will be charged for students who enroll in courses and then completely withdraw from those courses for a particular semester. The college will not issue a refund to a student who does not have a clear financial record with the college.
See the current online Registration Guide for actual dates of check disbursements.
Note: Class day is defined as the day the semester or session is designated to begin and each school day thereafter. The timetable shown in the online Registration Guide applies to all refunds, including refunds to early-registered students who withdraw before classes start. No refunds will be made earlier than this schedule.
For current room and board charges, please visit: https://www.kilgore.edu/future-students/student-services/housing.
Note: Those students involved in certain programs or athletic teams that require early arrival in the fall semester will have an extended meal plan at a higher rate. For information on these extended plans, please contact the Office of Residential Life at (903) 983-8191.
Fees are subject to change based on increased services made available to residents. Housing fees include room rent, meal plan, and mailbox rental fee. All residents must purchase the meal plan and the mail box rental. Private rooms are based on availability with priority given to sophomore residents. Room and board fees for summer housing will be announced prior to the end of the spring semester. Please refer to the Residential Life Handbook for the refund policy for housing. Full payment in person by cash, check or money order payable to Kilgore College. Visa, MasterCard, or Discover credit card payments are acceptable upon presentation of the credit card. The student must provide positive identification for any payment to the college. The college will accept checks for the amount of transaction only. Two-party checks, payroll checks, or postdated checks are not acceptable.
Full payments are also available on the Kilgore College website at www.kilgore.edu. Installment payments are available through The College Green Payment Plan via the Kilgore College website only. A credit card or bank account number is required for payments made via the web.
REFUND OF HOUSING COST- Assuming the resident has paid for all fees for housing, the following refund policy applies:
| Before the 1st official day of move in | 100% | Day 29 to day 35 | 5th week | 40% | |
| Day 1 to day 7 | 1st week | 80% | Day 36 to day 42 | 6th week | 30% |

The College makes every effort to assist students with documented financial need in locating sources to help with their educational expenses. Financial aid is available for students who, without assistance, would not be able to go to college. The family and student are expected to assume a major responsibility for tuition, fees and living expenses. The role financial aid plays in paying a student's higher education exists only when there is a difference between the student's resources and the cost of education, also known as unmet need.
Students are encouraged to become familiar with the KC Financial Aid Website and Financial Aid Portal at https://accesskcaid.kilgore.edu and also at accessKC (JICS) Portal at https://accesskc.kilgore.edu. All financial aid information concerning required documents, status of award package, payment and aid deadlines, academic progress standing, and student acknowledgement of institutional and federal regulations will be delivered through the above institutional websites.
Financial counseling is offered on an individual basis to students who complete the annual FAFSA application at www.studentaid.gov. For assistance with completing and submitting the FAFSA, please contact the Educational Opportunity Center at either the Kilgore College Longview Campus (903) 236-2026 or the Kilgore Campus (903) 983-8615. Students are encouraged to call for an appointment for assistance with filing the annual FAFSA application. Various requirements for student eligibility for funding are as follows:
All general eligibility criteria for Title IV financial aid, per federal regulations
Official college transcripts will be required if the FAFSA is flagged for Unusual Enrollment by the Department of Education.
The following categories of funds are available for students who qualify:
Additional information, applications, and materials are available in the Financial Aid Office located in the Devall Student Center, phone (903) 983-8211 or at www.kilgore.edu
Students using veterans' benefits to attend Kilgore College will have attendance monitored until the time the student drops, graduates, or completes the program. Unsatisfactory attendance will be reported to the DVA even if the VA student has completed the required number of hours and no refund is due the student and/or refund sources. Therefore, the attendance policy (20% of the total program and/or being absent five [5] consecutive days) will apply throughout the student's stay in school. All violations of the attendance policy will be reported to DVA on VA Form 22-1999b within 30 days at such time the student exceeds the allowed number of absences.
Per new federal regulations regarding Veterans Benefits, veterans are required to verify enrollment on a monthly basis to the Department of Veteran's Affairs. Failure to report will delay housing payments.
This signed form is only applicable for accredited and non-accredited non-college degree (NCD) program(s) or for non-accredited NCD program(s) offered at institutions of higher learning (IHL). The policy contained herein establishes the attendance policy for the veteran student(s) when there exists a less stringent policy or when there is no attendance policy defined in the institutions published catalog.
I have read, understand, and will comply with this policy for the veteran students certified for GI Bill benefits ®
Kilgore College has a published refund policy for all students that follows regulations established by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board for Texas Community Colleges. That policy is published in the appropriate Registration Guide and is as follows:
| Long Semester: | |
| Refund Percentage | Class Days |
| 100% | Prior to first Class Day |
| 70% | First 15 Class Days |
| 25% | 16th through 20th class days |
| 0% | After 20th Class day |
Refunds related to flex terms, including summer terms, will follow the regular refund schedule printed in the Registration Guide and will be based on number of class days in the course or term.
''GI Bill® is a registered trademark of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). More information about education benefits offered by VA is available at the official U.S. government Web site at https://www.benefits.va.gov/gibill
For Students participating in the Military Tuition Assistance Program, refunds for withdrawals before completing 60% of the period of enrollment will be calculated based on a percentage of the calendar days completed divided by the total calendar days in the enrollment period. Students withdrawing after 60% of the semester is completed are not eligible for a refund. Once the refund amount is determined, the difference between the Tuition Assistance that was disbursed and the amount of Tuition Assistance that was earned will be returned to the appropriate military service, and not the student.
Long Semester, Course Specific Tuition Assistance Refund Schedule:
| Number of days completed | = | percent earned X Tuition Assistance Paid |
| Total days of the period (start to end date) |
Kilgore College will work with service members that stop attending due to a military service obligation in identifying solutions that will not result in a student debt for the returned portion. Military tuition assistance is awarded based on students completing the entire term for which the assistance was awarded. When a student withdraws, they may no longer be eligible for the full amount.
A student must officially drop or withdraw through the Office of the Registrar. If a student officially withdraws from a course, the date of withdrawal will be used as the last date of attendance. If a scheduled course fails to materialize, the college will return 100% of tuition and fees, with the exception of late and matriculation fees. A matriculation fee will be charged for students who enroll in courses and then completely withdraw from those courses for a particular semester.
If a student does not officially withdraw, and is determined to have never attended, or for any other unofficial withdrawal, the college will determine the last date of attendance by (1) last date of activity within a course, (2) last date a student made a contribution to the class or submitted an assignment, and/or (3) based on instructor's determination of last date of attendance.
Kilgore College strives to ensure that students will not be penalized by any undue delay in payment from the Department of Veterans Affairs in accordance with our values and guidance set out in the Veterans Benefits and Transition Act of 2018, section 3679(e) of Title 38, United States Code as amended.
We allow students using VA educational benefits that pay tuition directly to the college (VA Veteran Readiness and Employment or Post-9/11 GI Bill® at the 100% rate) to attend their course of study without further payment requirements from the date they submit documentation of their eligibility for benefits to 90 days after the student's tuition and fees are certified or until the VA makes payment, whichever comes first. "Documentation of eligibility" is defined as a signed VA 28-1905 form for Veteran Readiness and Employment, a certificate of eligibility or eBenefits printout for Post-9/11 GI Bill®, Veterans Checklist per the MOU, previous college transcripts, and a copy of the students DD214 to ensure accurate certification and record retention.
It is our practice to "hold" the students' classes without further expectation of payment once documentation of eligibility is received, count the full amount of their eligible tuition and fees "paid" once the student's information is certified to the VA and reported to our Business Office, and ensure that payment is made by the Department of Veterans Affairs on the back end through our weekly and monthly reconciliation processes. We will not impose any penalties or denial of services on a student - such as late fees or denial of access to classes, libraries, or institutional facilities - on the basis of delayed VA payments, nor will we require students to borrow loan funds to cover tuition and fee costs, which we know will eventually be paid by the VA. (Please note that it is still possible for these students to incur late fees, but only on the basis of waiting until the late registration period to enroll, not as a consequence of delayed payment by the VA.) Students, who are not designated at the 100% eligibility, or have no remaining eligibility are responsible for any remaining balance not paid by the VA.

Kilgore College follows the federal R2T4 policy of returning funds to the appropriate programs as students withdraw during any academic period of enrollment. This policy applies to students who completely withdraw from all classes before the 60% point in the fall, spring, or summer semester.
The following steps are followed in calculating the funds owed back to the Department of Education:
Calculations are required to be completed within 30 days of the notification per federal regs.
Financial Aid Probation While on Contract - Financial Aid Probation While on Contract - During the probation semester, the student will still be eligible for financial aid, but must successfully complete all terms agreed to in the Appeal Contract.
All categories of student financial aid are measured by academic progress criteria. Federal regulations require that institutions monitor all financial aid recipients to ensure that students are maintaining a minimum standard academic achievement. Academic standards vary between federal, state, and institutional financial aid funds, but all require a minimum number of hours completed with a minimum grade point average. To continue to receive funding from the Federal Student Aid programs (Pell Grants, other Federal grants, and Federal Direct Loans), students must meet the Kilgore College Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy.
Institutional scholarships, State grants, and other non-federal student aid programs have specific academic requirements for each individual program, it is the student's responsibility to read and understand the academic and hourly requirement criteria for each award shown in the student's financial aid award package.
Appeals may be considered by an Appeals Committee, composed of Student Affairs Staff members, Faculty, Academic Advisors, or TRIO personnel.
Appeals that are granted will require an appointment with the Financial Aid & Appeals Specialist to sign a Suspension Appeal Contract, signed by both the student and the Financial Aid & Appeals Specialist.
Students must strictly adhere or follow the terms of the Suspension Appeal Contract. If changes occur or are requested, the Financial Aid & Appeals Specialist must be consulted prior to the change, or the Appeal Contract becomes invalid and the student is considered to be "in breach of the contract" and will return to financial aid suspension.
The student drops or enrolls in a class that is not a part of their degree plan.
It is the responsibility of students and faculty to help maintain scholastic integrity at the college by refusing to participate in or tolerate scholastic dishonesty. Plagiarism and other forms of academic dishonesty undermine the very purpose of the college and diminish the value of an education. Specific sanctions for academic dishonesty are outlined in the Kilgore College Catalog and Student Handbook.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect to their education records.
These rights include:
Students seeking to exercise these rights should contact the Kilgore College Office of the Registrar, located in the Devall Student Center to complete and submit the appropriate forms.
The college discloses education records without a student's prior written consent under the FERPA exception for disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the college in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); contractors, volunteers, and other non-employees performing institutional services and functions; a person serving on the Board of Trustees; or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. Certain offices at Kilgore College utilize student assistants in fulfilling professional responsibilities. These individuals receive FERPA training and are classified as school officials when working with student records. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibilities for the college. Upon request, the college also discloses education records without consent to officials of another school in which a student seeks or intends to enroll, is currently enrolled, or has been enrolled, as long as the records relate to the student's enrollment or transfer to the other school.
In compliance with FERPA, the college may release to the general public the following types of directory information without the written consent of the student:
By making a written request to the Office of the Registrar, the student may request that this information be withheld from the public. Students have the right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the college to comply with the requirements of FERPA. Complaints should be addressed to:
Family Policy Compliance Office
U.S. Department of Education
400 Maryland Avenue, SW
Washington, DC 20202-5920
As of January 3, 2012, the U.S. Department of Education's FERPA regulations expand the circumstances under which your education records and personally identifiable information (PII) contained in such records - including your Social Security Number, grades, or other private information - may be accessed without your consent. First, the U.S. Comptroller General, the U.S. Attorney General, the U.S. Secretary of Education, or state and local education authorities ("Federal and State Authorities") may allow access to your records and PII without your consent to any third party designated by a Federal or State Authority to evaluate a federal- or state-supported education program. The evaluation may relate to any program that is "principally engaged in the provision of education," such as early childhood education and job training, as well as any program that is administered by an education agency or institution. Second, Federal and State Authorities may allow access to your education records and PII without your consent to researchers performing certain types of studies, in certain cases even when we object to or do not request such research. Federal and State Authorities must obtain certain use-restriction and data security promises from the entities that they authorize to receive your PII, but the Authorities need not maintain direct control over such entities. In addition, in connection with Statewide Longitudinal Data Systems, State Authorities may collect, compile, permanently retain, and share without your consent PII from your education records, and they may track your participation in education and other programs by linking such PII to other personal information about you that they obtain from other Federal or State data sources, including workforce development, unemployment insurance, child welfare, juvenile justice, military service, and migrant student records systems.
The Office of the Registrar issues official transcripts according to the provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. This office will not honor a transcript request without the student's signature unless the transcript is being sent to another college for educational purposes. Kilgore College has authorized Parchment to provide secured, PDF electronic transcripts, as well as print/mailed transcripts.The cost for a transcript is $6 (additional shipping rates apply) Transcript Request | Kilgore College. Receiving institutions require official transcripts from each institution a student has attended, even though transfer work may be posted to the KC transcript for reference. The student must clear all financial and other obligations to the college before the college will release the transcript.
Each Kilgore College student enrolled in credit courses beyond the official reporting date of any semester or term establishes a permanent record. A student's permanent record may include personal and academic information. Student permanent records are housed in the central computer system and in other permanent storage. The central computer system staff is responsible for the technological maintenance of permanent records, and the Office of the Registrar staff is responsible for updates to student permanent records. A transcript (copy) of the permanent record may be obtained from the Office of the Registrar.
After a semester begins and under certain circumstances, a formerly enrolled student may be reinstated in their semester courses if the student was dropped in error or for not meeting expected deadlines or policies. Reinstatement is not automatic, and a student seeking reinstatement should visit the Office of the Registrar to request reinstatement. Applicable supporting documentation will be required. Penalties and fees may apply.
For a student ineligible to reenroll in Kilgore College for a non-academic or non-financial reason, including, but not limited to disciplinary actions, Kilgore College will include on the student's transcript a notation stating the student is ineligible to reenroll at the institution for a non-academic or non-financial reason. KC is neither required nor prohibited from stating the specific reason for ineligibility.
The student's classification is based on cumulative hours passed (not counting hours currently enrolled.) A student is classified as follows:
| Freshman | Student who has 0-29 semester credit hours |
| Sophomore | Student who has 30-72 semester credit hours |
| Unclassified | Student who has more than 72 semester credit hours |
| Part-time | Student enrolled in fewer than 12 semester hours in any semester |
| Full-time | Student who is enrolled in a minimum of 12 semester hours in any semester |
Note 1: A student's term grade point average and full-time/part-time status are determined by the number of hours registered in a given term and may include developmental hours. The student's cumulative/career grade point average, hours earned, and classification are calculated excluding developmental hours.
Note 2: In order to meet Federal Student Loans Program Enrollment Certification requirements at KC, any student who is enrolled in a major which has a major code of RNSA or RNSB and who is enrolled for 6-11 hours, which must include courses entitled RNSG and which relate to clinical experience as defined by the Dean of Health Sciences, will be considered as a full-time student at KC. This policy applies only to those students who have federal student loans and is only for enrollment certification for student loan requirement. The policy does not apply to any other federal or state grant program at KC.
Course credit is based on the semester hour unit. A typical lecture course that meets three times each week during a long semester carries three semester hours of credit while a course that meets more hours during the week or has an assigned laboratory may carry four or more hours of credit. The second digit in the course number indicates the number of semester hours that a student is granted for successfully completing that course.
Transfer of credit from another college or university to KC involves consideration of accreditation, comparability of course work, and applicability of that course work to a KC degree program. Transfer work for students who already have a college degree, or for those not seeking a degree, may not be evaluated. The college will receive transfer credit from another college or university according to the following guidelines:
Transfer of credit from KC to other colleges and universities is usually accomplished without difficulty. It is the responsibility of the student, however, to determine prior to registration if the courses will transfer. Transfer of specific courses normally depends upon the applicability of the completed work toward a degree plan specified by the receiving college or university. Therefore, the student should plan any KC program of study to parallel, as nearly as possible, the requirements of the program at the college or university to which the student plans to transfer. Visit the transfer institution for the most current catalog and any transfer equivalency guides offered. KC Academic Advising is able to assist students seeking more information about transferring to another college or university.
Note: Senior institutions treat transfer grades in various ways. While the grade "C" is usually considered minimal for transfer, the specific average required varies with the admissions policy established by the receiving institution. Some colleges and universities accept "D" grades if the student's overall grade average is "C" or better. Certain institutions require that the student repeat any course in which the student earned a "D" grade; some receive the "I" as an "F" grade.
If any student completes the KC Core Curriculum, any Texas college or university is required to accept it in total. KC guarantees to its Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, Associate of Arts in Teaching graduates and to other students, who have met the requirements of a 60+ credit-hour transfer plan, the transferability of course credits to those Texas colleges or universities that cooperate in the development of KC Articulation Guides. If such courses are rejected by the college or the university, KC offers the student tuition-free alternative courses which are acceptable to the college or university.
Special conditions that apply to the guarantee are as follows:
Transfer disputes may arise when a lower-division course is not accepted for credit by a Texas institution of higher education. To qualify as a dispute the course(s) in question must be offered by the institution denying the credit (receiving institution), or in the case of upper-level institutions, must be published in a lower-division course accepted for fulfilling lower-level requirements. For community colleges, the course(s) must be listed in the Lower-Division Academic Course Guide Manual, and be offered at the receiving institution. Additionally, the sending institution must challenge the receiving institution's denial of credit.
The following procedures shall be followed by public institutions of higher education in the resolution of credit transfer disputes involving lower division courses:
Certain undergraduates who earn a bachelor's degree from a public institution of higher education in Texas may be eligible for a tuition rebate of up to $1,000 if they attempt no more than three semester hours beyond what is required for their bachelor's degree. Information on this program can be found at http://www.collegeforalltexans.com/apps/financialaid/tofa2.cfm?ID=447
No university shall be required to accept in transfer or toward a degree program more than sixty-six (66) semester credit hours of lower-division academic credit. Universities, however, may choose to accept additional credit hours. [Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board Rules, Chapter 4, Subchapter B, 4.25 (f)]
Kilgore College (KC) recognizes and values knowledge and skills gained in many ways. Credit may be awarded for noncredit coursework, by examination, or through experiential learning. The Kilgore College Academic Credit for Noncredit Coursework, Examination, and Experiential Learning Policy is available on the College's Policy and Procedures webpage. Students admitted to KC may earn academic credit for learning achieved through experiences that they have completed before enrolling. The college assesses a fee for administering examinations and a fee for posting to the transcript credit awarded.
KC awards credit for experiential learning when students demonstrate that they have achieved the student learning outcomes of a designated workforce education course by way of a departmental exam or appropriate industry recognized credential. Credit may be awarded toward completion of an Associate of Applied Science degree or a Certificate of Completion for learning achieved through experiences outside typical educational settings when it is consistent with the educational objectives of the student, the requirements of the curriculum, and the policy on granting credit for experiential learning.
Kilgore College may award three semester credit hours of credit for certification and/or experience for Corrosion Technology program courses as follows:
Kilgore College may award three semester credit hours of Kinesiology credit based upon completion of military basic training. Documentation of the training must be received before credit will be awarded.
KC awards credit by exam [e.g., College Board Advanced Placement, College Board College Level Examination Program, and International Baccalaureate (IB)] for designated courses based on commonly recognized standards.
Potential college freshmen may earn course credit through the College Board Advanced Placement Program examinations offered at selected high schools in May of each year. Students enrolled in Advanced Placement (AP) courses or honors courses qualify for these examinations. Students who take these examinations should have the College Board forward their scores to the Office of the Registrar, Kilgore College, 1100 Broadway, Kilgore, TX 75662-3204. Students will not receive test results from College Board until mid-July. AP examinations for which students may earn KC course credit include the following:

The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) is designed primarily to evaluate non-traditional, college-level education such as independent study or correspondence work. Students may utilize CLEP, however, as a means to demonstrate achievement in more traditional educational settings. Although KC does not accept scores for CLEP general examinations, the college may grant credit for specified CLEP subject examinations.
For test dates and deadlines, call the Testing Center at (903) 983-8215 or e-mail testing@kilgore.edu. Students may obtain registration forms from the KC Testing Center, or at www.kilgore.edu/testing.asp. The following are CLEP subject examinations for which a student may earn KC credit:

Departmental Examinations
For courses in some workforce education programs, students may earn credit by submitting a written request to the division dean for a departmental examination. Appropriate evaluation documentation of skills and/or knowledge must accompany the petition to take the departmental examination. The college will assess a fee for the examination and a fee for posting a grade to the transcript (see chart below). Some of the courses for which students may earn credit by departmental examination are the following:
| ARTC 1325 | CETT 1325 | METL 1313 | WLDG 1457 |
| ARTC 2317 | CETT 1409 | MRKG 1311 | |
| AUMT 1305 | COMP SCI (ITXX) | OSHT 1401 | |
| AUMT 2425 | DFTG 1305 | PHTC 1311 | |
| BMGT 1303 | DFTG 1309 | POFT 1329 | |
| BUSG 1371 | DFTG 1333 | WLDG 1428 |
For studies completed in accredited health and medical programs at other institutions, including hospitals, the college may award credit which will apply toward completion of the Associate of Applied Science degree. Interested persons may apply to the appropriate program director by presenting documented and verifiable evidence of current certification by the controlling registry or certifying agency. The applicant must also have worked in his or her field full time a minimum of two years in the past five years. In some instances, it may be necessary that the applicant also satisfactorily pass a challenge examination administered by the college. The number of equivalent credits awarded may not exceed the total number of credits required in the major area of the Associate of Applied Science degree being sought. The college will not post the credit hours granted to a transcript until the student has completed at least 15 semester hours of instruction at KC.
A student who wishes to enroll in an advanced course for which there is no credit by examination or departmental examination for the prerequisite courses may do so with the consent of the appropriate dean. The student must demonstrate or present documentation that he or she possesses the academic background and/or experiences to justify the advanced placement. The student will not receive credit for the prerequisite courses and no fees apply.
| Non-Traditional Credit | |
| Credit by College Board Advanced Placement | $25 posting fee |
| CLEP credit | Test fee + $30 proctor fee + $25 posting fee |
| Credit by Departmental Exam | In District Tuition/Fees |

Kilgore College will grant a minimum of 24 semester credit hours (SCH) to any new student who earns the International Baccalaureate Diploma and has scores of at least 4 on all subjects. The maximum number of semester credit hours that will be awarded is 30. KC may grant fewer than 24 SCH if the student earned the IB Diploma and scored less than 4 on any IB examination. Applicants with the IB diploma must provide a completed IB transcript to the Office of the Registrar prior to enrolling in order to receive credit.

Courses offered follow a four-digit numbering system. The first digit indicates the state-designated academic level of the course [0 = institutional credit (developmental), 1 = freshman, 2 = sophomore] and, the second digit reflects the semester-credit-hour value of the course. The third and fourth digits indicate sequences.
KC participates in the Texas Common Course Numbering System (TCCNS). Participating institutions have signed agreements accepting a standard numbering system for commonly transferred academic courses. KC advises students to seek assistance through their Academic Advisor when planning transfer course work. For specific information on course equivalencies and degree requirements, students should contact the colleges or universities to which they plan to transfer.
Each student is responsible for determining prerequisites for a course prior to enrollment. Prerequisites are listed in each course description in the college catalog.
During the long semester, the normal course load is five academic courses or 15 to 17 semester hours. In addition to the normal load, students may take up to four semester hours in music-Applied (MUAP) and kinesiology activity (KINE). When students earn a 2.25 grade point average (GPA) or greater during a long semester or summer term, they qualify to take a total of 6 courses or 18-20 semester hours during the following semester. For classes taken in an 8-week format during the fall and spring semesters, the maximum class load is approximately half of what would be taken during a 16-week format. The maximum course load during a summer term is 8 semester hours for each term. Students may enroll in only one mini-term course at a time. Students who are employed or who have family responsibilities are cautioned to consider carefully the course load they take. The student who is overly extended is likely to have scholastic difficulties. Students should contact the dean for their major to request permission to add hours above the maximum scholastic load.
Grade Reports. Grades are available at the end of each term online through the AccessKC student web portal (https://accesskc.kilgore.edu/ics).
Final examinations should be culminating experiences representative of course content covered throughout the term. Instructors will administer final examinations according to the academic calendar schedule. Instructors should work with students whose individual exam/class schedule or life events prevent them from taking the exam during the scheduled time. Instructors and students should make every effort to complete all assignments, including the final exam, by the end of the scheduled term. In rare cases for which this is not possible, the instructor may assign a grade of I (Incomplete) for the course. Prior to the end of the term, students must communicate with instructors and secure their approval in writing to complete any course requirements after the end of the term. Written approval should contain the specific assignment(s) and date(s) for completion. Please note that all I grades are computed as Fs in the grade point average until the instructor submits a grade change. Students should complete all course requirements for which they have received an I grade no later than the end of the fourth week following the first class day of the next 8-week term of a fall or spring semester. This time frame applies to all courses regardless of their length.
The college indicates grades by the following symbols:
| A | (90-100) excellent |
| B | (80-89) above average |
| C | (70-79) fair or average |
| D | (60-69) lowest passing mark |
| F | (0-59) failing |
| I | Incomplete |
| IP* | Incomplete Passing |
| W | Withdrawn from course |
| WP | Withdrawn Passing |
| WF | Withdrawn Failing |
| CR | Credit by examination and advanced placement |
Certain health science programs have grading scales that differ from the above. Exceptions are explained on the appropriate program in Occupational Courses of Study.
KC utilizes the four-point system. The semester GPA is the total number of grade points earned divided by the number of semester hours attempted including developmental hours. The cumulative 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.
An individual course grade may be changed when the faculty member certifies in writing that an error was made in computing the original grade or when a student has successfully completed work to satisfy a grade of incomplete (I). The appropriate dean and Vice President of Instruction must approve the grade change. An instructor cannot change a student's grade after one calendar year from the date the grade was assigned.
A student who wishes to protest a grade earned in a course should first discuss the grade with the instructor. If no resolution is reached, the student may appeal to the appropriate dean. If no satisfactory conclusion can be reached at this level, the student may appeal to the Vice President of Instruction whose decision is final. A student has one calendar year from the date the grade was assigned to appeal the grade.
If a student repeats a course, all grades remain on the transcript, but the college counts only the highest grade in determining the overall grade point average (GPA). The college cautions the student, however, that other colleges may not follow this practice. A student planning to transfer to another college or university should check with the Admissions Office at that institution to determine the course repetition policy at the receiving institution.
The college recognizes students with high academic achievement in the following ways:
The dean's list is published soon after the close of each long semester. To make this list, the student must complete 12 or more semester hours of non-developmental coursework and must have earned a grade point average (GPA) at least 3.5 on a 4.0 scale for that semester. This semester-based honor is noted on the student's academic transcript.
The president's list is published soon after the close of each long semester. To make this list, the student must complete 12 or more semester hours of non-developmental coursework and must have earned a grade point average (GPA) of 4.0 on a 4.0 scale for that semester. This semester-based honor is noted on the student's academic transcript.
Phi Theta Kappa is the international honor society for community colleges. The local chapter, Gamma Omicron, was established the year after KC was founded. Members are chosen on the basis of scholarship, leadership, and citizenship. Membership is by invitation only. To be eligible for membership in the local chapter, a student (a) must be regularly enrolled in the college and be in good standing, (b) take no less than 12 hours in the long semester preceding initiation OR accumulate a minimum of 12 hours over at least two full semesters as a part-time student, and (c) have no less than a 3.50 grade point average (GPA) based on a 4.00 scale in those hours. Only coursework taken at KC applies. (Developmental coursework does not apply.) To maintain active membership, a student must remain in good standing and maintain a GPA of not less than 3.25 for coursework completed at KC. This designation is noted on the student's transcript and diploma.
Graduates with a GPA of 3.50 or above are considered to be graduating with honors. To qualify for graduation with honors, a student must earn at KC 50 percent of the hours that apply to graduation. For determining honor graduates, the Office of the Registrar will compute the grade point average (GPA) for the student's entire Kilgore College record. Transfer grades are not included in the GPA calculation. Honors graduation is designated as follows:
| 4.00 and all hours awarded by KC | Presidential Honors |
| 4.00 | Graduation with highest honors |
| 3.75 - 3.99 | Graduation with high honors |
| 3.50 - 3.74 | Graduation with honors |
This designation is noted on the student's transcript and diploma.
Every Spring semester, each recognized KC club or organization may nominate one individual who has demonstrated exceptional leadership at the college. To be nominated, students must be classified as a sophomore (completed a minimum of 30 semester credit hours) and have a minimum of a 2.75 cumulative GPA. Other criteria often considered by clubs/organizations in making their nominations include club, organization and/or campus involvement; demonstration of leadership qualities; exercise of actual leadership duties through service in a club/organization's officer role; and/or personal character. KC faculty and staff select the recipient of this recognition by popular vote. The selected student is recognized in The Flare.
Every Spring semester, each instructional program and/or academic major select one individual as their most outstanding student. Typically, nominated students are classified as a sophomore (completed a minimum of 30 semester credit hours) and have a minimum of a 2.75 cumulative GPA. Other criteria often considered by departments include program specific GPA, program involvement, and/or personal character. Nominated students are recognized in The Flare.
Every Spring semester, faculty and staff of Kilgore College select one male and one female student to be recognized as most representative. These students are selected by popular vote from the list of nominees submitted for most outstanding student recognition. Campus involvement and/or personal character are just a few of the criteria often used in the selection of these outstanding individuals. Selected students are recognized in The Flare.
At various meetings of the Kilgore College Board of Trustees, a student who exemplifies excellence in learning, leadership and co-curricular activity is recognized. Students are nominated by a faculty or staff member and nominations are evaluated by a committee representing the various instructional divisions on campus. For more information on the Student Spotlight recognition, contact the Vice President of Student Development's Office.
Students entering college for the first time in Fall 2007 or after are subject to Senate Bill 1231 passed by the Texas Legislature in May 2007. This law limits students to a total of six drops in their entire college career in Texas public institutions, unless the courses were dropped in order to withdraw from school or for certain approved reasons. To be counted toward the total, drops must appear on the transcript and be signified by a grade of "W". Students are required to select a primary reason for withdrawing from a course at the time the course is dropped. The following are approved reasons that do not count in the drop total:
Drops from the following courses will not count in the drop total:
Students wishing to dispute the drop total must do so by contacting the Office of the Registrar. If the dispute cannot be resolved between the student and the Office of the Registrar, the student should follow the complaint procedure for non-instructional matters as defined herein. Reasons for dropping courses may not be changed after one calendar year from the end of the semester in which the courses were dropped.
KC Student-Initiated Course Withdrawal Process
It is the student's responsibility to complete the course withdrawal process by the deadline on the published Academic Calendar to ensure a grade of "W".
No longer attending class does not automatically constitute withdrawal from that class, nor does the student's notification to an instructor that the student wishes to be withdrawn. Faculty will report non-attending students for financial aid attendance verification purposes. After the official reporting date, faculty will refer students for administrative withdrawal to the appropriate dean only for extenuating circumstances or disciplinary reasons.
Students who fail to follow the official course withdrawal process by the deadline on the Academic Calendar will be assigned an earned grade in courses they no longer attend. Kilgore College reserves the right to withdraw students from any one or all of their classes if in the judgement of college officials, such withdrawal is in the best interest of the student or the student body.
The following course withdrawal process is required for students wishing to withdraw from individual courses.
Students who wish to withdraw from all courses must communicate with the instructor of the course or an academic advisor.
(Students who are taking classes online and are unable to come to campus may complete the withdraw process, including the Course Withdrawal Request Form, via email correspondence.)
A student may discontinue the withdrawal process at any point in the withdrawal process before submitting the official Course Withdrawal Request Form to the Office of the Registrar.
Enrollment Withdrawal Procedures
Kilgore College reserves the right to withdraw a student from one or more classes if, in the judgment of college officials, such action is deemed to be in the interest of the student and/or the college. Examples of some reasons for administrative withdrawal are failure to pay tuition and fees, failure to provide accurate information or admission credentials, failure to remove "holds" in a timely manner, excessive absences or unacceptable student behavior.
Kilgore College expects punctuality and regular class attendance. An absence is defined as a student's not being in class for any reason. Students who are absent may miss important instruction, discussion, assignments and deadlines. Students are expected to communicate with instructors regarding their absences. Some workforce programs may have specific attendance requirements due to applicable external requirements and/or competencies; therefore, students in workforce programs should check with their instructor regarding the specific number of absences allowed. Students may be dropped for nonattendance per Federal Financial Aid requirements.
Active military, reservists, members of the various state guards and other such categorized students attending Kilgore College who are activated or deployed should contact the Dean of Enrollment Management and Student Success, 903-983-8625. The EMSS office will serve as a point of contact and liaison for the student and various KC offices including Financial Aid and Veteran Affairs, the Business Office, the Office of the Registrar, and your instructors.
In accordance with Texas Education Code 51.911, a student may request and be granted an absence from classes on a religious holy day provided the student follows college procedures for seeking such authorization. It is the student's responsibility to make satisfactory arrangements with instructors prior to the absence via the following procedures which shall govern an absence on a religious holy day:
Effective communication between students and their instructor is essential. Students are responsible for initiating any make up work regardless of the cause of the absence. Students absent on official college business are entitled to make up any and all missed work without any penalty attached. However, students should notify their instructors in advance of the absence and should schedule any make-up assignments before the absence. If the student does not submit makeup work by the prearranged time, the student forfeits the right for further make-up of that assignment. For a student whose absence is not official college business, the individual instructor will judge if the student is eligible to make up work. In all cases, the instructor will determine the time for making up work and the nature of the make-up work. Whenever possible, students should discuss their impending absence with the instructor and schedule the make-up work prior to the absence.
Students must meet academic standards in work completed at KC. Students who fail to meet those standards are placed on academic probation or academic suspension. Only grades earned at KC are used to determine -probation or suspension status.
A conditional permission for a student to remain in college. That status will be applied to any student who:
A student may remain in school on continued academic probation as long as the cumulative GPA is at least 1.75 or a long semester GPA is at least 2.0. Students on continued academic probation must consult an academic or faculty advisor before registering for another semester. Students on academic probation or continued academic probation are not allowed to web register. A student is removed from academic probation or continued academic probation when the student earns a 2.0 cumulative GPA or better.
Note: A grade of "I" is calculated as an "F" until the grade is changed to a higher grade.
The loss of the conditional permission of a student on academic probation to remain in college. Academic suspension is for one 16-week semester and occurs when a student on probation fails to earn at least a 1.75 cumulative grade point average (GPA) or a 2.0 GPA in the most recent 16-week semester. A student on academic suspension may:
A student may be readmitted on continued academic probation after one long semester of academic suspension. Students returning from academic suspension must complete a Reactivation form with the Office of Admissions. Students must also consult with the Dean of Enrollment Management and Student Success or designee before registering for classes. Students on academic suspension are not allowed to web register.
An appeal involves the student's formal request for review of a decision made by a college employee. The granting of an appeal is not automatic; instead, appeals are intended to ensure that proper procedures have been followed and all available information has been considered. To fulfill the intent of the Kilgore College appeal process, appeals must have standing to be considered. To have standing, students must demonstrate that either: appropriate policy or procedure was not followed when the decision being appealed was made OR that there is new information or evidence that was not available for consideration when the decision being appealed was made.
Individuals serving as an appellate officer may:
Failure to file a written appeal within the stated timeframe will render the original decision final and conclusive.
Under most circumstances, grade changes can be made only by the faculty of record. A student is entitled to a review and explanation of the grading process and the grade received. A grade is the primary prerogative and responsibility of the faculty member and any review as the result of a complaint is intended to ensure accuracy, fairness and adherence to Kilgore College policy. The following steps will be followed in an effort to reconcile a grade dispute:
NOTE: In the event that the instructional division dean is the instructor of record, the dispute will proceed to the Vice President of Instruction, following the procedures above. Should the Vice President of Instruction be the instructor of record, the dispute will proceed to the President of the College, following the procedures above.
Kilgore College is committed to resolving student concerns or dissatisfaction in the most expeditious and informal manner possible. As a result, students are expected to discuss their concerns or questions with the instructor, staff member, or office area in which they are experiencing dissatisfaction. Most issues can be resolved at this level.
For situations that cannot be resolved informally, students have the right to file a formal, written complaint as described in the Complaints and Grievances section in the document. The KC Student Complaint Policy and Procedures, as approved by the Kilgore College Board of Trustees, is available online at https://www.kilgore.edu/about/human-resources/policy-and-procedures#stu-comp-policy. The online student complaint form is available in the KC website at https://www.kilgore.edu/current-students/student-complaint-form.

Student ID cards are available from two locations the KCPD on the Kilgore Campus located at 818 E. Main St. and KCPD Longview. It is mandatory that all Kilgore College students obtain one of the two types of student identification cards that are available. You must be able to present a valid form of government issued ID when coming to obtain your student ID. Without a valid form of government issued ID you will be unable to obtain either type of student ID. You must also register for classes beforehand or you will be unable to obtain a student ID. For identification purposes, the student identification card is to be carried at all times while on campus and presented upon request to campus police officers or college officials. For entry into the housing facilities after regular hours, you must present your student identification card to housing officials. Additionally, it will give you access to a variety of college activities. The student identification card entitles you to free or discounted athletic events, Student Activity entertainment, Enrichment Series programs, the Fitness Center and the health services provided by the college. The student identification card is required at the Library when checking out books, at the various study and learning labs on campus, and at the Business Office when cashing a check. The ID card may also be required when requesting transcripts from the Registrar's Office and is used as a meal card for residence hall students. Students must retain their identification card from semester to semester. There is a $25 fee to replace a student identification card.
Kilgore College offers two types of identification cards - a Ranger Card or an ID Badge. The Ranger Card is a MasterCard Debit Student ID which allows free access to Herring Bank ATMs and no-fee purchases at merchant locations both on and off campus that accept MasterCard or pin-based transactions. If a student choses, funds from their financial aid can be placed directly onto this card. If you lose your Ranger Card, contact Herring Bank Customer Service Center immediately at 1-866-348-3435.
The ID Badge does not have the MasterCard Debit capability. It is used for identification purposes, meal plans, and textbook purchases at the KC Campus Store. If a student does not receive financial aid or choses to have their financial aid direct deposited into a bank other than Herring Bank, the student would receive an ID Badge.

Students at Kilgore College are considered to be mature adults who enter classes voluntarily. By entering classes, students take upon themselves certain responsibilities and obligations that include an honest attempt at academic performance and social behavior consistent with the lawful purpose of the College. Students maintain all legal rights of citizenship while enrolled and are expected to remember that they are living in a democratic situation. The reputation of the College rests upon the shoulders of students as well as on the administration, staff, and faculty; and it is hoped that each student will maintain high standards of citizenship. The campus and College will not be a place of refuge or sanctuary for illegal or irresponsible behavior. Students, as all citizens, are subject to civil authority on and off the campus. Common courtesy and cooperation make the above suffice for a long list of rules and regulations.
Kilgore College wishes to inform you that this institution is in compliance with Public Law 101-226, Drug-Free Schools and Community Acts Amendments of 1989 and Omnibus AIDS Bill, SB 959, which requires us to inform students and employees of information relating to the transmission and prevention of HIV and AIDS infection. This information is available in the college nurse's office, located in the Parks Fitness Center.
Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) has produced a nation-wide health crisis. First diagnosed in the United States in 1981, it has now become the number one priority of the U.S. Public Health Service. It is prudent to expect that at some time this college community will encounter the presence of AIDS, either in employees or students. The transmission of the AIDS virus normally requires the exchange of body fluids, such as that which occurs in intimate sexual relationships or an exposure to blood or blood product from an infected person.
The purpose of the Kilgore College AIDS guidelines is to prevent the spread of the AIDS virus, to protect the rights of persons with AIDS virus infections, and to create an informed and supportive campus community. These guidelines are based on information obtained from several sources, including the American College Health Association, the American Council on Education and the Center for Disease Control. The guidelines are based on current knowledge and are expected to provide direction for dealing with AIDS-related issues. The policy intends that College officials will analyze individual circumstances and will respond to persons with AIDS or AIDS-related conditions on an individual basis. Responding to each case as required by its particular facts rather than developing a "blanket policy" is in the interest of flexibility, sensitivity, simplicity, and the balancing of legitimate interests.
Guidelines
These guidelines are based on current epidemiological data pertaining to students or employees with AIDS, AIDS-Related Complex, or a positive HTLV-III antibody test. The college will update its policies and guidelines as additional, authoritative information becomes available.

Absolutely no alcoholic beverages or other intoxicating substances may be possessed by students at Kilgore College nor are they allowed at any student related function sponsored by the college. Students found drinking or in possession of alcoholic beverages or other intoxicating substances will be reported to Campus Police immediately and will face disciplinary action from the college, as well as any penalties issued in accordance with Texas State Law.
Texas Alcoholic Beverage Codes 106.4 and 106.5 prohibit consumption or possession of alcohol by a minor. Penalties for violation or either of these codes on the Kilgore College Campus could result in arrest and an appearance in Municipal Court with a fine. It is the responsibility of the college to maintain an environment which is conducive to teaching and learning and to personal and professional growth. Since irresponsible use of alcohol, intoxicating substances and drugs are detrimental to the maintenance of an educational environment, it is the intent of the college and its Board of Trustees to establish practices and procedures which discourage using alcohol, intoxicating substances, and/or drugs and ensure compliance with local, state and federal laws by all students on college property or facilities or property under control or jurisdiction of the college. Administrative officials have developed and implemented, in accordance with Board Policy, administrative guidelines and local, state and federal law (with education as the means of prevention), an on-going alcohol/drug awareness and prevention program for students and employees of Kilgore College.
Use of illegal drugs, controlled substances without a valid prescription, and/or use of synthetic drugs such as K-2, bath salts, etc. are prohibited. Violations include, but are not limited to, possession of illegal drugs or controlled substances without a valid prescription; possession of paraphernalia; and/or use of illegal drugs or controlled substances without a valid prescription, as evidenced by drug testing results. Students are expected to abide by the rules and regulations of Kilgore College and Federal and State Laws regarding the use, sale and distribution of alcohol, controlled substances and synthetic drugs.
In compliance with the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989 (P.L. 101-226), Kilgore College endeavors to provide an environment for students that is free from illicit drugs and the abuse of alcohol or other intoxicating substances. Accordingly, the college provides information through the Vice President of Student Services Office and through the college Nurse's Office. Also, see the Code of Student Conduct for penalties regarding these offenses. There are state and federal laws which also apply to the unlawful possession, use or distribution of alcohol, inhalants or illegal drugs. The fines can range from not less than $25.00 to imprisonment for life and a fine of up to $250,000.
The health risks of using illegal drugs or inhalants may cause a person to become chemically and psychologically dependent, alter the mechanisms of their body, loss of contact with reality and ultimately, death.
Kilgore College provides multiple educational and support opportunities for students regarding alcohol and drug abuse. Information regarding education programs is available in the Vice President of Student Services Office. Additionally, students are encouraged to visit campus counselors or the campus nurse should they need information, support or referrals to appropriate services.
Drug and alcohol education programs are provided throughout the semester by various departments. Student Life typically sponsors an awareness campaign (such as the Kramer Save a Life tour) prior to Spring Break. The KCPD offers outreach and educational information throughout the semester. Additionally, educational courses and support are available through the East Texas Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse (ETCADA). For more information, visit http://www.etcada.com/.
When the Standards of Conduct regarding alcohol and drugs (including synthetic drugs and drug paraphernalia) are violated, Kilgore College will impose, at a minimum, the following sanctions:

The open carrying of handguns is prohibited on campus.
This Concealed Handgun Policy and Procedures are available on the KC website at https://www.kilgore.edu/about/human-resources/policy-and-procedures#pp-concealed-handguns.
Copyright is a form of protection grounded in the U.S. Constitution and granted by law for original works of authorship fixed in a tangible medium of expression. Copyright, a form of intellectual property law, protects original works of authorship including literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works, such as poetry, novels, movies, songs, computer software, and architecture. Copyright covers both published and unpublished works. (U.S. Copyright Office)
Unauthorized distribution of copyrighted material and unauthorized peer-to-peer sharing may be subject to college disciplinary sanctions as well as civil and criminal liabilities. Students are expected to abide by U.S. copyright laws. The Director of Watson Library is the college's designated copyright officer and is available to address questions pertaining to copyright issues.
Under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), Kilgore College reserves the right to terminate computing services of users who repeatedly infringe upon the rights of copyright owners. Kilgore College takes copyright law very seriously and prohibits unauthorized duplication and distribution of copyrighted materials, including copyrighted music and video. Sanctions for violations of these policies include:
KC also employs a number of technical and procedural measures to prevent illegal downloading and distribution of copyrighted materials.
It is the responsibility of the student to provide correct permanent and local mailing address information at all times and on all documents at the college. Failure to do so constitutes falsification of information, a breach of the Code of Student Conduct. Any student who changes his/her mailing address must notify the Registrar's Office immediately.
The federal Family Educational Right and Privacy Act of 1974 protects the privacy of educational records, establishes the right of students to inspect or review their educational records, and provides guidelines for the correction of inaccurate or misleading data. In compliance with this act, the college may release to the general public directory information without the written consent of the student. The Kilgore College Student Records and Privacy Rights Policy and Procedures define what is considered directory information. This policy and the accompanying procedures are available on the KC website at: https://www.kilgore.edu/about/human-resources/policy-and-procedures#stu-records-privacy-rights.
It is unlawful for any person, on school property or on public property within five hundred feet of school property, alone or in concert with others, willfully to disrupt the conduct of classes or other school activities. In so doing, the person shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be punished by a fine or by confinement for not less than 10 days or more than six months or both.
Conduct that disrupts the educational activities of a school includes emission by any means of noise of an intensity which prevents or hinders classroom instruction and enticement or attempted enticement of students away from classes or other school activities which students are required to attend. (Texas House Bill # 186, 62 Legislature, Regular Session, 1971).
The State law prohibiting disruptive activities defines "disruptive activity" as meaning:
The law further states that a "lawful assembly is disrupted when any person in attendance is rendered incapable of participating in the assembly due to the use of force or violence or due to a reasonable fear that force or violence is likely to occur."
Consistent with a commitment to a stated policy of non-discrimination, the college provides residence hall facilities and food services without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, disability, marital status, veteran status or genetic data.
The Department of Campus Life at Kilgore College welcomes students of all gender identities and expressions and is committed to providing an equitable and inclusive community for all residents. Please contact the Office of Campus Life to learn about all available housing options. It is our goal to provide an affirming and non-discriminatory housing educational experience.
Residence halls are specifically designated, however, for male or female occupancy. The college provides facilities without discrimination on the basis of disability although not all residence halls and buildings have been modified to provide barrier-free access to students in wheelchairs. Considerable progress has been made, however, and continues to be made in providing a campus that is virtually barrier free.
Kilgore College has an established process available to students for redress of grievances. Additional information is available on the KC website at https://www.kilgore.edu/about/human-resources/policy-and-procedures#nondis-stu-grievance.

Students becoming ill or receiving injuries are referred to the emergency room of Christus Good Shepherd Medical Center in Kilgore or Longview, Christus Trinity Mother Frances Hospital in Tyler, East Texas Medical Center in Tyler, or a local physician of their choice.
Students may not possess or use illegal firearms*, any type of ammunition for illegal firearms*, or any other dangerous, prohibited or illegal weapons on college property, including college residence halls. This includes, but is not limited to, pellet, BB or stun guns, sling shots, arrows, bows, axes, machetes, nun-chucks, throwing stars, rifles, handguns, and knives. Hazardous chemicals or flammable liquids are also prohibited. The sale, use, or possession of fireworks or explosives is also prohibited. Any illegal firearms, explosives or weapons found in a student's possession will be confiscated by the college police.
It is unlawful to interfere with the normal activities, the normal occupancy, or normal use of any building or portion of the college campus by exhibiting, using or threatening to exhibit or use a firearm or weapon. Possession of illegal weapons or explosives may lead to disciplinary action, including suspension. Moreover, a person who violates this section may be prosecuted on criminal charges and may be found guilty of a felony and if convicted is punishable by a fine or imprisonment in the state penitentiary or both.
*Please note that in compliance with state law, handgun license holders may carry concealed weapons on Kilgore College campuses, except for a limited number of exclusion zones and certain necessary restrictions as outlined in the accompanying procedures.

Visitors should not be allowed in class on a continuing basis unless they are on the class roll as a registered student or registered as an audit student. Certain exceptions are listed below:
Instructors are responsible for providing a quality instructional environment that facilitates the best possible education for students. Faculty members should generally not allow a student's guests or family members to visit classes. Instructors may, at their discretion, allow a child of a student to attend class for one meeting if, in the instructor's opinion, circumstances warrant such a decision. However, a child should not be allowed to attend on a continuing basis. If children are present for scheduled learning activities, the parent or guardian remains responsible for the wellbeing of the child. Children should not be left unattended or unsupervised on campus.
The Texas Legislature has enacted a law prohibiting hazing by a person(s) against a student(s) at an educational institution. The law also prohibits the knowing, intentional or reckless failure to report hazing to school authorities. Failure to comply with the specific provisions of the law will result in criminal penalties and fines. A copy of the law in its entirety is available in the Office of the Vice President of Student Services. The following is a brief summary of the law:
A person commits an offense under the hazing law if that person:
Hazing means any intentional, knowing or reckless act occurring on or off campus, by one person alone or acting with others, directed against a student for the purpose of pledging, being initiated into, affiliating, holding an office in, or maintaining membership in any organization whose members are or include students at an educational institution.
Hazing includes, but is not limited to, any type of physical brutality, physical activity that subjects the student to an unreasonable risk of harm or that adversely affects the mental or physical health or safety of the student (i.e. sleep deprivation, exposure to the elements, calisthenics), activity involving consumption of food, liquid, alcoholic beverages, drugs, or other substances which subjects the student to an unreasonable risk of harm or which adversely affects the mental or physical health or safety of the student, activity that intimidates or threatens the student with ostracism, and activity that subjects the student to extreme mental stress, shame or humiliation, or that adversely affects the mental health or dignity of the student. The aforementioned activities are exemplary of specific hazing offenses only. Any type of activity which falls within the general definition of hazing is prohibited under the hazing law. Consent of the individual subjected to the hazing is not a defense to prosecution of an offense under the hazing law.
Organizations which are covered under this law include fraternity, sorority, association, corporation, order, society, chorus, cooperative, club, or service, social or similar group whose numbers are primarily students at an educational institution. A 'student' includes an individual registered or in attendance at an educational institution, an individual accepted for admission at an educational institution, or an individual who is on vacation from an educational institution and intends to attend that institution during any of its regular sessions after that period of vacation.
Specific penalties which may be imposed against an individual or organization guilty of an offense under the hazing law include the imposition of fines ranging between $5,000 and $10,000 and/or confinement in the county jail for a period of time ranging between 90 days and two years. The specific penalty imposed for hazing offense depends on the seriousness of the offense and whether or not bodily injury or death to an individual resulted from the hazing incident. If an individual reports an offense of hazing to the Vice President of Student Services, that individual is immune from liability, civil or criminal, that might otherwise be incurred or imposed as a result of the report. However, a person reporting in bad faith or with malice is not so protected.
Kilgore College provides information technology resources to employees and students to support the College's mission. Access to Kilgore College's (KC) information technology resources is a privilege, not a right. Noncompliance with this policy will result in suspension of access or termination of privileges and other disciplinary action consistent with KC policies. Violations of law may result in criminal prosecution as well as disciplinary action by KC. The Information Technology Resources Acceptable Use policy and procedures are available on the KC website at https://www.kilgore.edu/about/human-resources/policy-and-procedures#it-resources.

In order to receive a refund of tuition and fees, a student must officially drop or withdraw through the Office of the Registrar. The student is personally responsible for dropping a class and/or withdrawing from enrollment. The college will refund tuition and fees for courses dropped or for withdrawal from school within the timetable published in the online Registration Guide. Refunds will be issued in the same semester as the withdrawal. If a scheduled course fails to materialize, the college will return 100% of tuition and fees, with the exception of late fees, matriculation fees, and reinstatement fees. A matriculation fee will be charged for students who enroll in courses and then completely withdraw from those courses for a particular semester. The college will not issue a refund to a student who does not have a clear financial record with the college.
See the current online Registration Guide for actual dates of check disbursements.
Note: Class day is defined as the day the semester or session is designated to begin and each school day thereafter. The timetable shown in the online Registration Guide applies to all refunds, including refunds to early-registered students who withdraw before classes start. No refunds will be made earlier than this schedule.
If you have been sexually assaulted by another student or group of students and are considering College action, you are encouraged to discuss the matter with the VP of Student Services or the KC Chief of Police. This will allow you a chance to review the procedures should you decide to file a formal grievance through the College's disciplinary system. This discussion does not obligate you to pursue official action; however, the Vice President or KC Chief of Police may be obligated to pursue an investigation and implement remedial actions to provide for the safety of the campus community. Charges may either be filed directly by you or by KC on the basis of your written statement. Such a charge would be handled in accordance with the procedures relating to violations of the KC Code of Student Conduct regulations. Individuals could be subject to disciplinary action pending review by KC. Those students found responsible for violating the Code in this way could be suspended or expelled.
Pursuant to KC disciplinary procedures, both the accuser and the accused are entitled to have an advisor or support person present during any meetings or hearings. Please note, witnesses to the incident may not be an advisor in this process. Students who allege sexual assault by another student may request a change in their academic and living situations on campus after the alleged incident takes place if such changes are reasonably available. Finally, in accordance with federal regulations, both the accuser and the accused will be informed of the outcome of any campus disciplinary proceeding alleging sexual assault.
Members of the Kilgore College community, guests and visitors have the right to be free from sexual violence. All members of the campus community are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that does not infringe upon the rights of others. The College believes in a zero tolerance policy for gender-based misconduct. When an allegation of misconduct is brought to an appropriate administrator's attention, and a respondent is found to have violated this policy, serious sanctions will be used to reasonably ensure that such actions are never repeated. This policy has been developed to reaffirm these principles and to provide recourse for those individuals whose rights have been violated. This policy is intended to define community expectations and to establish a mechanism for determining when those expectations have been violated.
The college reserves the right to take whatever measures it deems necessary in response to an allegation of sexual misconduct in order to protect students' rights and personal safety. Such measures include, but are not limited to, modification of living arrangements, interim suspension from campus pending a hearing, and reporting the matter to the local police. Not all forms of sexual misconduct will be deemed to be equally serious offenses, and the college reserves the right to impose different sanctions, ranging from verbal warning to expulsion, depending on the severity of the offense. The college will consider the concerns and rights of both the complainant and the person accused of sexual misconduct.
Sexual misconduct offenses include, but are not limited to:
NOTE: There is no requirement that a party resists the sexual advance or request, but resistance is a clear demonstration of non-consent. The presence of force is not demonstrated by the absence of resistance. Sexual activity that is forced is by definition non-consensual, but non-consensual sexual activity is not by definition forced.
For more information or to file a grievance or report of sexual misconduct, please see the "Student Complaint and Grievance Procedures" herein or call the Director of Human Resources in the McLaurin Administration building (903) 983-8102 or email the Title IX Coordinator at TitleIX@kilgore.edu.

Kilgore College recognizes the right of any group of students, faculty or staff members to form a voluntary organization for the purposes not forbidden by the laws of the United States or the State of Texas. No organization may organize or hold meetings on college property, however, until the organization has both secured a sponsor who is a full-time faculty or staff member of the college and filed the organization name and the name of the sponsor with the Office of Campus Life. The authority of such organization to function on college property shall cease upon the removal or resignation of the sponsor of the organization; upon failure to file with the Office of Campus Life; or upon the violation by such organization or any member thereof the rules and regulations of the college or the State of Texas.
It shall be the duty and responsibility of the sponsor of each student organization to advise the organization on college policies and regulations, to represent the college at meetings and activities of the organization, and to report to the Vice President of Student Services violations of college policies and regulations. If the interest of the college is not represented, the sponsor may be removed from sponsorship. Officers of the organization must remain in good academic standing with the college with at least a 2.0 cumulative grade point average.
Each organization is required to be registered each year with the Office of Campus Life and must have an up-to-date constitution on file. All activities must be registered with the Office of Student Life with proper forms filled out. Only recognized student organizations will be allowed to have activities on campus. All presidents of each organization must sign a hazing document to be recognized. All organizational funds must be kept through the Kilgore College Business Office. No club activities should be scheduled for the second Monday of the month. This is reserved for Board of Trustees meeting.
Kilgore College has more than 20 college-based clubs and organizations for students based on interest and purpose.

These interactions increase the opportunity for students to make healthy career choices. Students are encouraged to contact the Office of Campus Life located in the Devall Student Center at 903-983-8191 for more information on uniting with a student organization.

Students have the option of meeting graduation requirements of the current KC catalog or those requirements outlined in the KC catalog under which they entered the college (if continuously enrolled). A lapse of two long semesters dictates usage of the current catalog.
To ensure that the student is meeting all requirements for graduation, the student should consult an academic or faculty advisor early in the student's college career. Final responsibility for meeting all requirements for graduation rests with the student.
For Associate of Arts, the Associate of Arts in Teaching, and the Associate of Science degrees, requirements for graduation consist of (l) General Requirements for Graduation, (2) Core Curriculum Requirement and elective requirements for Graduation. The Associate of Applied Science degree and Certificates of Completion are awarded in Workforce Education programs and the graduation requirements are listed under the individual course of study for those programs.
Students who did not complete graduation requirements while
enrolled at Kilgore College may elect to take their remaining
courses at another college for transfer back to KC in order to
receive a degree. A minimum of 25% of the degree
requirements must be completed at Kilgore College.
Students who were not enrolled at KC during the preceding academic
year must meet current graduation requirements (even if different
from the graduation requirements that were in place during the
student's attendance at
KC). Students should contact the Counseling Center prior to
registering for courses at another college to determine which
courses remain for completion of degree requirements. Students
should also contact the KC Office of the Registrar to make sure
that the courses will be accepted in transfer. An official
transcript must be sent directly from the other college to the KC
Registrar's Office once the transfer work is completed. It is
recommended that students apply for graduation during the semester
in which they are completing the required courses. (See deadlines
in "Application for
Graduation" section).
The following are the general requirements for graduation:
Degrees and certificates are not awarded automatically. To be considered a candidate for a degree or certificate, the student must submit an application for graduation through on the KC website.
Applications are available during the dates listed below and must be submitted on or before the following dates:
| Fall Semester (December) Graduate | August 15 - October 1 |
| Spring Semester (May) Graduate | January 15- March 1 |
| Summer I Semester (July) Graduate | May 1 - June 15 |
| Summer II Semester (August) Graduate | May 1 -July 15 |
Degrees and certificates will be officially conferred when the Office of the Registrar certifies that all graduation requirements have been met. In order for transfer courses to be used toward graduation, an official transcript must be on file in the Office of Admissions. A student does not have to be enrolled in KC courses during the semester that he or she makes application. If graduation requirements were completed during a prior semester, the degree or certificate will be posted to the transcript at the end of the semester in which the application for graduation is submitted (if received by above deadline).
Commencement Ceremonies. KC has formal graduation exercises in December, May and August. It is generally expected that graduates will participate in the ceremony at the end of the semester in which degree requirements are completed (Summer I graduates participate in the August ceremony). Participation in the ceremony prior to completing degree requirements must be recommended by the dean of the division and approved by the registrar. Participation is ceremonial only and does not confer on a student any rights to a degree or certificate. The transcript is the official document that verifies graduation status. Transcripts may be obtained from the Office of the Registrar. All diplomas are mailed no later than 4-6 weeks after the end of the semester. For additional information, contact the Office of the Registrar at (903) 983-8606.
