Academic Advising
An academic advisor will assist you in forming career and educational plans which fit your interests and lifestyle. An educational plan consists of a list of required and suggested courses which leads to a certificate, a degree, or transfer. All first-time students are asked to make an appointment with an academic advisor before scheduling courses. Advising is available on a walk-in basis at the Battle Creek campus. Additionally, advisors will encourage you to use career decision-making software such as Discover and MOIS to identify career interest, work values, and preferences.
Academic advising is available as a resource for you to seek information and guidance. Advisors answer questions on scheduling, occupational program requirements, and academic processing that lead to the completion of goals.
Advising services are offered during the day and evening hours on the Battle Creek campus and on designated days at the Eastern Academic, Fehsenfeld, and Grahl Centers. You may communicate with the advisors via e-mail by going to the website www.kellogg.edu/advising.

Housing
The wide selection of degree and certificate programs of study and an established reputation make Kellogg Community College attractive to many students outside the Battle Creek area. The College does not have approved housing on or off campus. Housing is available near the campus in private homes and apartments. It is your responsibility to visit available housing and reach agreement with the property owner concerning rental, house policies, privileges, and responsibilities. Housing information is available by visiting www.kellogg.edu/studserv/housing.html.
The College is not able to officially approve or supervise off-campus housing. It cannot assume responsibility for housing conditions, location, or rental conditions.
Insurance
A sickness and injury insurance plan is available to you if you are enrolled full- or part-time. The plan is underwritten by Sentry Student Security Plan and is not subsidized by the College. Applications are available from Student Services, the Academic Advising Center, and the administrative offices at the centers.
Students with Disabilities
Kellogg Community College offers assistance to students with disabilities. The College is committed in its compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.
The Support Services department is responsible for the coordination of services for students with disabilities. Students must
voluntarily identify themselves during the advising process as having a disability and make arrangements to supply the department with appropriate documentation. Students may contact the office at 269-965-4150 or e-mail us off our website www.kellogg.edu/studserv/supportserv.html for additional information regarding disability assistance.
Qualified students with disabilities must provide documentation of their disability to receive any necessary academic modification and/or reasonable accommodation. Specific requests should be based upon the specific needs of the student; services are determined by the student, the faculty involved, and the Director of Support Services. The student is responsible for contacting Support Services to review personal concerns and develop a plan for accommodation or modification.
The intent of providing special considerations for students with disabilities is to accommodate students’ learning differences, not to change collegiate requirements. Even though the methods of evaluation may be different, the same standards for mastery of skills or information are applied to students with disabilities as to all other students.
