2008 - 09 Catalog

Academic Planning

All Students
KCC encourages students to be wise consumers of their education. The College Catalog is an excellent tool for identifying courses leading to completion of a certificate or degree. Program advisors are available for students seeking certificates and degrees from KCC, and it is recommended that students meet with an advisor to assist in their course planning. Advisors can also answer questions regarding occupations in fields related to the program. Students planning to transfer to another college should begin planning early to identify appropriate transfer courses. Resources to assist with academic planning and decision making include college catalogs from other colleges, on-line resources at the transfer college, and transfer advisors at that college or university. Many students are unsure of their career choices. KCC provides access to occupational and career information, using both paper and electronic resources. The Learning Resources Center is an excellent place to begin the career exploration process. KCC encourages students to seek volunteer or paid employment experiences in their field of interest to check their choices and clarify career decisions.

New Students
After completing an Admissions form and the placement exam, discuss placement options and develop a term schedule with a Student Services Representative or an Academic Advisor. A Student Services Representative will then use the schedule as a basis for registration.

Continuing Students
Returning students may access student records and receive other services on the KCC Web site at www.klamathcc.edu. These services include online registration, degree audit, degree plan, and Financial Aid award/dispersal information. Log on for more information. All students are encouraged to meet with an Academic Advisor or Student Services Representative regarding academic planning.

Degree or Certificate Seeking Students
Students who are degree or certificate seeking and are planning to receive Financial Aid need to verify that their file is complete with the Financial Aid Office. Students who are to receive veterans’ benefits need to verify their eligibility with Veterans Services. Verification for eligibility currently takes up to 12 weeks.

Recipients of vocational rehabilitation funds, tribal aid, or any other third-party aid, need to check with the Business Office and Financial Aid Office to be sure all of the paperwork relative to their aid has been received. This must be done before registration.

International Students
Currently, KCC is not authorized by the INS to issue I-20 documentation. International students interested in attending KCC must meet with the Dean for Student Services. Call 541-882-3521 for an appointment.
