Most importantly, many RMTC processes and procedures are different from standard KCC process and procedures because of our non-traditional style of instruction. Those differences are detailed in the schedule and orientation, as well as in the 6 Steps for Success which follow.
All students registering for credit course work must complete an application for admission and return it to the Regional Manufacturing Technology Center. You may also apply online at www.kellogg.edu. Admission to the College does not ensure entry into a specific curriculum or course section. Call the Enrollment Services Office for application information at 269-965-4153 or e-mail adm@kellogg.edu. If you have attended other colleges and are transferring to KCC, you will need to have your official transcripts submitted to the KCC Registrar’s Office for evaluation and transfer of credits. Talk with an academic advisor or call the Registrar’s office (269-965-4129) for more information on transferring credits to KCC.
After you have applied for admission you will meet with a program instructor to discuss the certificate you are pursuing at KCC. If you are considering an Associate in Applied Science, you will meet the Director of the RMTC after meeting with the program instructor. You may then be referred to an academic advisor on the main campus. At this advising appointment you will select your first semester classes and will then be ready to move to the final step which is registration and payment for classes. If you plan to transfer to a four-year institution, the advisor will help you identify which transfer curriculum to follow.
Advising at the RMTC Is available by appointment any time between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday.
Advising is available at the Battle Creek campus on a walk-in basis and on designated days at the Centers. Battle Creek campus Academic Advising hours are:

Students pursuing an Associate in Applied Science degree are required to complete assessment testing prior to meeting with a program instructor or the RMTC Director. You must have applied for admission to KCC in order to take the assessment test which is a prerequisite for many KCC courses. COMPASS is a computer adaptive placement test that measures skills in reading, writing, and mathematics. Guest and degreed students with proof of their status may not need to be assessed. You should allow at least two hours for three basic skills assessments. Bring photo ID.

Monday 9:00 am – 6:00 pm
