Auditing a Class
If you wish to participate in a course, but do not wish to receive credit or a grade, you may register for a course
under the audit option. Tuition and fees are the same as registration for a grade and credit. Federal Financial Aid
does not pay for auditing a course.
An audit carries no credit and does not meet degree requirements or contribute to full-time student status. Students
wishing to change from credit to audit, or audit to credit, must do so by the add/drop deadline. To apply for credit
for audited courses, students must repeat the course as a regular registered class member or follow the challenge procedure.
To qualify for Federal Financial Aid you must:
- File a Free Application for Federal Student Aid [FAFSA] on the Web at
www.fafsa.ed.gov or by using forms available at the College.
- Be a United States citizen or an eligible non-citizen.
- If you are a male between the ages of 18 and 25, be registered with the United States Selective Service.
- Not be in default or owe a refund to any Title IV financial aid program
- Use the money you receive to meet the costs of attending KCC.
- Be enrolled in a KCC degree or certificate program.
- Have unmet financial needs as defined by the US Dept. of Education.
- Maintain satisfactory academic progress
- Demonstrate the ability to benefit from the education or have a high school diploma or GED certificate
To apply for Federal Financial Aid:
Submit a FAFSA as early as January of the year preceding enrollment in courses. FAFSA can be filed throughout the year.
A FAFSA form must be filed for each school year. This process takes time, and students must pay careful attention
to each detail.
FAFSA forms are processed in the order that they are received at the Dept. of Education and then sent to the
KCC Financial Aid Office. Please note the amount of financial aid offered depends on a student’s financial
need [determined by the Dept. of Education from the information they supply] and the availability of funds.
Therefore, students are advised to apply early to maximize their financial aid award.
Financial aid paper applications are available at KCC, area high schools, and some libraries. However,
electronically filing the application is the preferred method. To file a application electronically log
on to www.fafsa.ed.gov. Applying on the Internet will cut the
application processing time by as much as 50%. Corrections are also processed quicker when done electronically.
To check your Financial Aid Status:
Students can check your financial aid status with KCC at www.klamathcc.edu. Click on "Web Registration" and
login with your user name and pin. Click the Financial Aid button and select the award year. You’ll see
your current status including available awards, any transactions that have been made, and if there are any
documents still required before you can receive financial aid.
Types of Financial Aid
The four basic types of financial aid are Grants, Scholarships, Loans and Work-Study [Student Employment].
