Students registering for 19 or more credit hours of transfer/career courses for Spring 2008 are REQUIRED to meet with a counselor or faculty advisor in their major/academic areas for written approval of their course registration.
However, some students registering for less than 19 credit hours are also required to meet with a counselor or advisor. This includes students who are:
All students who are interested in their progress toward fulfillment of associate degree/certificate requirements, concerned about the transferability of their courses to another college or university, academically dismissed or on academic probation from other colleges or universities are strongly encouraged to meet with a counselor in the Counseling and Student Development Center, U-148.
Continuing students having attended Fall Semester credit courses will receive a letter notifying them of the advising procedure. Students not receiving a letter should contact the Admissions, Registration, and Records Office.
Counselors will be available during most hours of open registration listed near the front of this brochure. Appointments are recommended (825-2086, ext. 507). However, during peak periods, some counselors will see students on a walk-in basis. As a walk-in, students may occasionally experience a delay in being seen by a counselor. A walk-in meeting is intended to be brief; focus will be on information for registration for the current semester. Students who are new to the college or close to graduation are encouraged to make an appointment.
Kishwaukee College is committed to the placement of students in the appropriate classes which reflect the students' ability levels. To establish levels, placement tests in English usage, reading, and mathematics are required of all students wishing to register for any mathematics, English, or other course requiring a specific mathematics, English, or reading placement score. Students may enroll only in the courses indicated by their placement test results.
Transfer students from another institution may be required to take appropriate placement tests prior to enrollment in classes. During educational advisement, students will be informed of any placement tests required.
Students who do not comply with placement testing policies will be administratively dropped from their course(s) until testing has been completed and appropriate placement has been recommended.
Enrollment in courses with prerequisites is limited to those students who have satisfied the stated prerequisites. Students who have completed the prerequisite at another institution must have an official transcript from that school on file in the Admissions, Registration, and Records before registration will be permitted. A high school transcript is required for all students wishing to enroll in mathematics classes prior to, or at the time of registration.
Students who do not comply with the prerequisite policy will be administratively dropped from their courses. A student may re-register for the course after placement/prerequisites are met, provided seats in the class are still available.
