Support for Success
KCC provides advising services to assist students with career plans and academic choices. Student Services Representatives
are available to both current and prospective students. All are encouraged to meet with a Student Services Representative
or an Academic Advisor prior to registering for classes. For a listing of faculty advisors, see page 26.
KCC wants students to get the best start possible and be successful in college. Student Services Representatives can help
students identify individual goals and establish the best path leading to their accomplishment.
Placement Testing [ACT Compass]
The College provides placement testing in reading, writing, and math skills for beginning students, since all college
degrees and certificates require some coursework in these areas. New students taking reading, writing, or mathematics
classes, or courses requiring prerequisite skills in those areas must take the placement exam which identifies courses
that should be taken first. The results are used to determine the beginning level of writing and math in which students
are most likely to succeed and to determine the ability to benefit from instruction.
Tests are given Monday through Friday in the Testing Room in Student Services by appointment only. In the few weeks
before the beginning of each term, additional group testing times may be scheduled. Call 541-882-3521 to schedule an
appointment. Disability-related accommodations for placement tests are considered on a case-by-case basis. Contact the
Student Affairs Specialist at
541-882-3521.
