Repeated Courses
You may repeat any course which you have previously taken at Kellogg Community College. If you repeat a course for the purpose of improving the grade earned in the previous attempt(s), only the highest grade earned will be used in computing the cumulative grade point average. Notify the Registrar's Office when you are repeating a course and you desire a recalculation of the cumulative grade point average.
Generally, credit earned in a course may be applied toward graduation requirements only once; however, certain courses may be repeated with cumulative credit applied to graduation. Course descriptions will indicate if a course is repeatable for credit toward graduation.
The course entry for each attempt of a course will remain on your academic record. When transferring to another college or university, you may be held accountable for all attempts and grades associated with a course taken at Kellogg Community College.
Credit by Examination
You may receive credit by examination by following this process:
- Contact the chairperson, director, or coordinator of the program offering the course and discuss the credit by examination options.
- Complete a Request for Credit by Examination form.
- Pay a $50 fee in the Customer Service Center or at your Center office.
- Present the receipt to the instructor administering the exam and complete the exam.
- If a grade of “A,” “B,” or “C” is earned, course and grade information will be added to your academic record.
- Grades of “D” and”F” are not satisfactory for credit by examination. If such grades are earned, no course entry will be made on your academic record.
- To have credit by examination credits recorded on your KCC transcript, you must have completed coursework at KCC. Courses for which you receive a grade of “W,” “I,” “N,” or Audit are not considered completed.
Prior Experiential Learning
If you have background experiences obtained through proprietary schools, on-the-job training, apprenticeship, or correspondence courses, you may have this prior experiential learning evaluated for recognition toward a certificate or degree from Kellogg Community College. Credits recognized through this process may or may not transfer to other colleges and universities.
To initiate this process, you must:
- Review the goal statements and objectives of the course outline to determine if the prior experiential learning is the equivalent of the College course.
- Collect and assemble information which documents the experience(s).
- Contact the chairperson of the department or coordinator of the program offering the course to schedule an appointment for an evaluation.
- Request the evaluator to deliver a completed “Request for Prior Experiential Learning” form to the Registrar’s office.
- Pay required fee of $20 per credit hour or $5 per industrial trades module. Payment may be made at the Customer Service Center; Grahl, Fehsenfeld, or Eastern Academic Center; RMTC office.
- To have prior experiential learning credits recorded on your KCC transcript, you must have completed coursework at KCC. Courses for which you received a grade of “W,” “I,” “N,” or Audit are not considered completed.
Transfer Evaluation Process
Kellogg Community College will accept comparable college course work earned at other accredited colleges and universities and through the military. Courses considered for transfer must have a comparable course offered at KCC.
It is your responsibility to forward an official academic transcript to the Registrar’s office for the purpose of evaluation. Courses completed with a passing grade of “C” or above may be considered for transfer. Following the transfer evaluation process, you will receive a Transfer Equivalency Report in the mail from the Registrar’s office.
A maximum of 60% of a KCC degree or certificate may be completed using transfer credits. Grades from other institutions are not calculated in your cumulative grade point average at KCC.
