Kellogg Community College Bookstore, located on the mezzanine level of the Student Center, offers textbooks, supplies, and materials required for classes. The average cost of a new textbook is estimated at $85, used books may also be available. Please be aware that some classes require more than one textbook. A detailed refund policy is given with every purchase and is also posted in the store. The bookstore will also ship textbooks within the continental United States for an additional shipping and handling fee.
If you have been approved for financial aid, you may purchase books on account according to the dates posted in the store. A picture I.D. is required for purchases made on financial aid. Be aware that inappropriate use of financial aid awards may result in having them eliminated.
The bookstore also offers the opportunity for you to sell back your textbooks during the final week of each semester. Times and dates are posted in the store.
Federal Refund/Repayment Policy
If you officially withdraw from classes after school begins, but during a refund period, you may be eligible to receive a refund of tuition and fees. If you received Title IV federal awards, such as the Federal Pell Grant, Federal SEOG, or Federal Direct Loans, this refund on tuition and fees is returned to the financial aid programs – not the student. Federal funds must be returned in the following order: unsubsidized Ford Direct Loan, subsidized Ford Direct Loan, Ford Direct PLUS Loans, Pell Grant, SEOG. Students not receiving Title IV Federal Financial Aid who paid for all expenses out of pocket will receive the refund amount as computed based on institutional policy. The amount of federal funds returned to the federal programs will be determined by the amount of unearned financial aid based on the date of withdrawal or last date of attendance. If the date of withdrawal or last date of attendance is not available or known, the federal refund will be based on the 50% point of the semester.
Residency
Conditions
Your residency status is based on the taxing district in which you live, and the tuition you pay is based on your residency status. Residency is established at the end of the first week of the fall and spring semesters and on June 15 for the summer semester. Your residency status as of that date remains in effect for that semester. Changes in your residency status made after this timeline will affect your tuition rate for the upcoming semester.
Acceptable documentation for establishing and proving your residency is as follows:
- Valid driver’s license
- Michigan ID card
- Voter registration card
- Lease agreement showing your name as an occupant
- Business mail received in your name at the stated address
You should be prepared to prove your legal residence at each registration.
Your residency must be established before you can access secure areas within the Kellogg Registration Information System (KRIS).
A change in address may be made at any registration site or mailed or faxed to the Customer Service Center. You will receive notification through the KCC e-mail system when an address change is made to your record.
A change in residency requires documentation as shown above and may be made at any registration site. Documents may be mailed or faxed to the Customer Service Center.
NOTE: Documents mailed and faxed will experience a processing delay.
When residency discrepancies are found, your residency status will be flagged, and your tuition rate will automatically be adjusted. You will receive notification through the KCC e-mail system asking you to verify your residency status.
Contact the Registrar’s office for questions regarding residency.
