WITHDRAWAL FROM COLLEGE
Withdrawal from college is defined as the student’s formal withdrawal from all courses currently in progress.
Any currently enrolled student who is called for military duty shall be dropped from all uncompleted courses without grade and will be granted a refund of all tuition and fees paid upon receipt of a copy of military orders to the Registrar’s office.
Administratively Initiated Withdrawals
You may be administratively withdrawn from any course when: (1) it has been determined that your behavior has been disruptive or detrimental to the learning environment; (2) it has been determined by the instructor that excessive class absence has prohibited successful completion of the course; or (3) you have not fulfilled tuition and fee obligations to the College.
Expectations for student conduct and the due process rights of students who might become involved in disciplinary action are included in the Student Handbook.
Generally, you will be notified of excessive absences. When absences jeopardize successful completion of the course, the instructor may initiate a course withdrawal through seven-eighths (7/8) of the course duration. A grade of “W” (withdrawal) will be recorded on your academic record for any course from which you were administratively withdrawn.
Academic Record
ACADEMIC TRANSCRIPT
An academic transcript is a record of all courses taken at Kellogg Community College and credit received through transfer, prior experiential learning, and by exam.
Requesting a Transcript
A student who desires a transcript of his/her academic record must complete a request form, which is available in the Customer Service Center at the Battle Creek campus or at the Grahl, Fehsenfeld, and Eastern Academic Centers. A written request, signed by the student, will also be accepted. There is a minimal charge per copy for each transcript. The College reserves the right to withhold transcripts of students who have outstanding accounts.
DEAN’S LIST
A Dean’s List, which recognizes all full-time students who have earned a grade point average of 3.5 or higher, is published at the conclusion of each session. To be eligible for honors recognition, you must have completed 12 or more semester hours of credit during the session and not have received any grades of “I” (incomplete). Grades of “G,” “X,” and “P” are excluded when determining eligibility. Students will be recognized as follows:
3.50 - 3.89 High Honors
3.90 - 4.00 Highest Honors
Outstanding achievement awards are given by the academic departments based on specific criteria, such as program involvement and academic achievement. For more information and specific criteria, visit the KCC website at www.kellogg.edu/collegelife.

How to Request MACRAO at KCC
You can request to have MACRAO applied to your transcript at KCC in two ways. When requesting a transcript, write “MACRAO” on the form. When applying for graduation, check the box “MACRAO Agreement.”
The KCC registrar’s staff will audit your transcript for MACRAO requirements and enter the statement “MACRAO Agreement Satisfied” on your academic transcript. If after the audit you have not met the requirements for MACRAO, you will be notified.
You are not required to complete an associate degree to request MACRAO. You are required to complete course work at KCC before the MACRAO statement will be applied to your transcript. Completed course work does not include grades of “W,” “I,” “N,” or Audit.
MACRAO requirements are not to be confused with Kellogg Community College’s general education learning outcomes core courses.
Some transfer institutions place restrictions on the MACRAO Agreement. Check with an admissions representative from the four-year school to learn about their exceptions before you transfer.
