Kansas City Kansas Community College is starting the spring 2017 semester with KCKCC Express Enrollment Days.
The enrollment event is from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, Jan. 6, and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 7, on the KCKCC main campus, 7250 State Ave.
The Express Enrollment Days will allow students considering attending KCKCC to complete the enrollment process in one place and most important, in one day, according to a spokesman.
Students will be able to:
• Complete admissions application
• Get financial aid questions answered
• Take a campus tour
• To meet the assessment requirement, bring in your SAT/ACT/PSAT scores, high school transcript, college transcript or take the ACCUPLACER if needed.
• Meet with a student success adviser. You must complete your assessment prior to meeting with a student success adviser.
• Register for courses
• Pay for courses
• Get a student I.D. and parking pass
• Purchase your textbooks
• Complete new student orientation
In addition to obtaining a certificate or associate’s degree, which can be accomplished in two years or less, KCKCC is also a terrific place to start in the quest for earning a bachelor’s degree, the KCKCC spokesman said. The community college has transfer-articulation agreements with dozens of four-year colleges and universities throughout the region including Ottawa University, Emporia State University, University of Kansas, Kansas State University, Northwest Missouri State University, Park University and Pittsburg State University, among many others.
Even if students have already been accepted to KCKCC, there are several steps that need to be completed in the enrollment process. Classes fill up fast, and the registration deadline is Jan. 9. After this date, there is no guarantee that courses will be available, so completing the enrollment steps early is important, the spokesman said.
To make sure the Express Enrollment Days is a smooth process, potential students must have applied for admission, transfer any previous courses to KCKCC and complete the FAFSA (Federal Application for Federal Student Aid) at least one week prior to the Express Enrollment Days event.
