Kishwaukee College now provides educational guarantees for many certificates and all two year degree programs. The general description of the guarantees follows and particulars about the guarantees are available in the Vice President of Student Services Office.
Kishwaukee College, as an assurance that students can obtain a quality education at their local community college that fully transfers to complete their education, guarantees that students can transfer their courses to colleges or universities. If a graduate selects a course with the consent of a counselor or academic advisor to transfer to a given Illinois college or university and subsequently successfully completes the course and the course is not accepted for transfer, Kishwaukee College will refund all tuition and fees paid for such a course.
Kishwaukee College, as an expression of its confidence in the faculty, staff, and educational programs, states that career program graduates can be expected to demonstrate entry-level competency in positions for which their degrees or certificates requiring 20 or more hours are intended to prepare them, and to pass licensure exams. An employer who determines in consultation with a Kishwaukee graduate that the graduate employee does not possess appropriate entry-level skills encompassed in the degree or certificate curriculum, and who can specify such deficiencies, may request that the graduate employee be permitted to retake a specific course or courses for up to a total of 12 semester credit hours without additional tuition and fee charges.
It is the policy of Kishwaukee College not to tolerate sexual harassment in any form or to discriminate on the basis of sex, age, race, creed, religion, national origin, disability status, or sexual orientation in its educational programs, activities, or employment practices. Kishwaukee College complies with the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1975. Inquiries regarding compliance may be directed to the Director of Human Resources at Kishwaukee College: (815) 825-2086, ext. 220.
The College reserves the right to cancel courses due to insufficient enrollment or instructor availability and to make other course changes or changes to this schedule where deemed necessary, without prior notice.
