The College District

The College district includes the following Michigan cities/townships and corresponding public school districts.

Tuition and Fees
One of the primary goals of the Kellogg Community College Board of Trustees is to maintain the lowest possible tuition and service fees for our students. However, since tuition and fees are subject to change on occasion, the specific amount is published in each semester schedule of classes.

A credit hour of tuition purchases sixteen hours of instruction. A high-cost program fee is assessed for courses providing instruction in excess of this ratio. Additionally, laboratory and materials fees are charged for certain courses. These fees are listed in each semester schedule of classes.

Senior citizens 65 years of age or over, who reside within the Kellogg Community College district, may register for classes tuition free, but are responsible for all applicable fees.

All outstanding balances (unpaid fines, tuition agreements, etc.) must be paid in full prior to registration.

All college-related costs may be paid by cash, check/money order, or credit card. The College collects tuition and fees separate from purchases in the bookstore. If applicable, please pay with separate checks and/or money orders for each department. Payment alternatives are available:

1. Payment in full at time of registration.
   
2. Payment Plan – To qualify for a payment plan agreement, you must (1) have paid in full all prior outstanding balances, and (2) have an acceptable credit status with the Business Office (no prior non-sufficient funds checks, drops for non-payment, or late payment history on previous tuition agreements). The tuition agreement must be paid even if you withdraw after the refund period. Late or delinquent payments may result in an administrative withdrawal from courses. Details on the current payment plan options available are published in each schedule of classes.
   
3. Employer Agreements – Tuition may be billed to your employer. You must register after the College receives a signed authorization from your employer. You are responsible for any remaining balance should your employer not complete payment.
   

Tuition and fees are subject to change.

Tuition Refund Policy

1. If you officially drop a class, you will be granted a refund of paid tuition and fees. The drop period is through the first tenth (1/10) of the total number of calendar days over which the class meets. An adjustment fee of $5 per course section dropped will be charged from the first day of the class through the end of the drop period.
   
2. Refund calculations are based upon the total tuition and fee obligations to the College and not upon the amount of partial payment made.
   
3. In order to drop a course and receive a refund, you must initiate an official course drop prior to the drop deadline. Deadline dates are available from your instructor or from the Customer Service Center. College staff members are not responsible to submit schedule adjustments on behalf of the student. You may process schedule adjustments on the KRIS system. Schedule adjustments may also be submitted to the Customer Service Center; Eastern Academic, Fehsenfeld, and Grahl Centers; or RMTC office.
