<strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong> Foundation<br />
The <strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong> Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization established exclusively for the advancement,<br />
assistance, and support of <strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong>. Membership in the Foundation consists to individuals<br />
interested in further the educational endeavors of <strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong> and enhancing the <strong>College</strong>’s efforts to<br />
benefit the community.<br />
The <strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong> Foundation recognizes that traditional resources (state and federal funding) typically<br />
support only the base needs of education while private gifts make the <strong>College</strong> exceptional. Private donations<br />
can fill the gap between public funding and student need, between subsistence and excellence. Through the<br />
procurement of private donations, the Foundation seeks to provide students with access to their educational<br />
goals as well as providing them the opportunity to learn with current equipment and resources in an environment<br />
that is conducive to learning.<br />
The primary goal of the <strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong> Foundation is to raise funds for projects and programs not funded<br />
by state or federal monies. Donations to the Foundation are used for expanding student opportunities, enriching<br />
the quality of teaching and learning, the acquisition of new and emerging technologies, physical improvements,<br />
and broadening opportunities for the visual and performing arts.<br />
The Foundation receives gifts of money, property, stocks, bonds and other types of contributions, as well as<br />
bequests. Gifts to the Foundation are fully tax deductible and often provide tax savings for the donor.<br />
For more information or how to become a donor to the <strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong> Foundation, contact and officer or<br />

General Information<br />
History<br />
The Master Plan for Higher Education in Illinois made recommendations<br />
concerning the development of an improved system<br />
of higher education in Illinois. Subsequently, many of these recommendations<br />
were written into the Illinois Public Junior <strong>College</strong><br />
Act which passed the state legislature on June 29, 1965, and<br />
was signed into law on July 15, 1965. The Public Junior <strong>College</strong><br />
Law provided for the establishment of Junior <strong>College</strong> Districts<br />
in Illinois by direct vote of the people in a given area including<br />
all of Marion County, all of Clinton County, most of<br />
Washington County, and a part of Jefferson County. Junior <strong>College</strong><br />
District 501 was established on October 16, 1965. This district<br />
has since been expanded to include most of Bond, much of<br />
Fayette and parts of St. Clair, Madison and Monroe counties.<br />
<strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong> was the first Class I Junior <strong>College</strong> to be established<br />
under provisions of the Public Junior <strong>College</strong> Act of<br />
the State of Illinois. <strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong>, Junior <strong>College</strong> District<br />
501, encompassed all of Centralia Junior <strong>College</strong> which had<br />
been established as a part of Centralia High School District in<br />
1940. Consequently, Centralia Junior <strong>College</strong> ceased to exist as<br />
a legal entity on July 1, 1966, when <strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong> assumed<br />
responsibility for the education program.<br />
Student Rights and<br />
Responsibilities<br />
The Board of Trustees, administration, and faculty recognize the<br />
right of a <strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong> student, as an adult member of society<br />
and as a citizen of the United States, to the constitutionally<br />
guaranteed freedoms of speech, assembly and peaceful<br />
association which shall be diligently protected. <strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
guards these rights in behalf of all persons associated with<br />
the institution and does not tolerate actions by any individual or<br />
group that would seek to restrict the appropriate freedoms of any<br />
individual or group.<br />
If disciplinary action is initiated against a <strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong> student,<br />
the student is guaranteed due process and a speedy and fair<br />
hearing before the appropriate individual and/or committee. Certain<br />
decisions of individuals and/or committees, charged with<br />
disciplinary responsibilities, may be appealed through the appropriate<br />
process and channels to the President of the <strong>College</strong>.<br />
It is the responsibility of the student to know and to observe the<br />
requirements of his/her curriculum and the rules governing academic<br />
work. Although the advisor will attempt to help the student<br />
make wise decisions, the ultimate responsibility for meeting<br />
the requirements for graduation rests with the student.<br />
Notice of Non-Discrimination<br />
<strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong> is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer<br />
and administers all of its educational and employment<br />
programs in conformity with State and Federal laws prohibiting<br />
discrimination based on sex, race, religion, national origin, age,<br />
disability, and other prescribed categories, including Title VII<br />
(1964 Civil Rights Act), (which covers all terms and conditions<br />
of employment and holds the employer responsible for any discrimination<br />
that goes on within the employer’s organization),<br />
The Equal Pay Act of 1963, the Age Discrimination in Employment<br />
Act of 1967, Executive Order 11246, Rehabilitation Act of<br />
1973, Title IX (Higher Education Act), Title IV (General Education<br />
Provisions Act), and the Illinois Student Records Act.<br />
Inquiries regarding affirmative action in employment, admissions,<br />
and administration should be directed to the Affirmative<br />
Action Officer who is the Director of Human Resources and<br />
Staff Development. Inquiries regarding the Family Educational<br />
Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 or the Illinois Student Records<br />
Act should be directed to the Admissions Officer or Vice President<br />
of Educational Services.<br />
In accordance with the Illinois Human Rights Act, as amended,<br />
and the Civil Rights Act, Title VII, it is a civil rights violation<br />
for any employee of <strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong> to engage in sexual<br />
harassment, or to retaliate against a person for opposing sexual<br />
harassment, or to aid or abet sexual harassment of any student or<br />
employee.<br />
Changes In Courses of Study<br />
This catalog is for information to assist students and patrons in<br />
their educational endeavors. The <strong>College</strong> reserves the right to<br />
change, modify or alter without notice all fees, charges, tuition<br />
expenses and costs of any kind. The <strong>College</strong> further reserves the<br />
right to add or delete without notice any course offering or information<br />
contained in this catalog; however, an effort will be made<br />
to keep students and patrons informed as to current changes.<br />
Selective Service Registration<br />
It is law that all males who are United States citizens between<br />
the ages of 18 and 26 must register with the Selective Service<br />
System. Registration is conducted at all United States Post Offices.<br />
Failure to do this may result in making you ineligible for<br />
financial aid; such as college work study, guaranteed loans, Pell<br />
grants and other federal and state aid programs.<br />
The Curriculum and Admissions policies contained in this catalog<br />
are subject to change without notice.<br />

Extension Centers<br />
<strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong> is extending itself throughout District 501 to<br />
provide educational opportunities for all the residents of our district.<br />

to continue their education. We offer programs and courses<br />
whenever feasible and consistent with efficient use of available<br />
resources at any of the centers or other locations upon request.<br />

include those for students who wish to continue their collegiate<br />
work at a senior college later and for students who seek to<br />
acquire marketable skills and knowledge for immediate employment.<br />

weekends. Contact the Office of Admissions and Records for<br />

or program of studies. If space is not available to accommodate<br />
all persons, the <strong>College</strong> reserves the right to establish selective<br />
admission procedures and requirements. Certain programs have<br />
special admission entrance requirements which must be met prior<br />
to being accepted in the program. They are: Baccalaureate<br />
Transfer, Nursing, (LPN and ADN), Dental Assisting, Child<br />
Care, Cosmetology, Diagnostic Medical Sonography, Nail Technology,<br />

fees, housing, and living costs.<br />
17<br />
6. International students will be granted permission by the <strong>College</strong><br />
to leave the United States for valid reasons.<br />
7. No International student will be allowed to work on-campus<br />
while enrolled as a student at <strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong> except in<br />
special cases, such as an internship in a particular course of<br />
study which is part of the student’s approved program.<br />
8. International students are not eligible for state or federal financial<br />

transportation since <strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong> has no dormitories<br />
and the campus is approximately 5 miles from the nearest<br />
town. We offer assistance in finding housing and transportation,<br />
but arrangements are the responsibility of the student<br />
and are expected to be complete prior to the student’s enrollment.<br />
Advisement/Registration<br />
It is recommended that applicants submit ACT scores from the<br />
American <strong>College</strong> Testing program. If the <strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
code of 0964 is listed as a college choice when the ACT test is<br />
taken, the results will be sent automatically to the college.<br />
While not required for admission, ACT scores are recommended<br />
because they can be used in certain cases instead of placement<br />
tests and can be used as an aid to students and counselors<br />
in selecting a program.<br />
Students who do not have ACT scores should take the ASSET<br />
test at <strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong>.<br />
Day, evening, and some weekend classes are available at<br />
<strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong>, the Vandalia Center, the Trenton Center and<br />
the Harry L. Crisp Manufacturing and Technology Center, and at<br />
other locations throughout the community. Telecourses and interactive<br />
video classes are also available. Classes are subject to a<br />
minimum number of registrants in order for the class to meet.<br />
Registration information is published in the Fall and Spring<br />
Class Schedules or you may contact the Admissions and
Records Office for more information.<br />
Late enrollment is usually permitted if the class has met only<br />
once. Enrollment after the second session is by permission of<br />
the instructor and Vice President of Educational Services.<br />
Those courses which are by individualized instruction, independent<br />
study, open-entry/open-exit classes, or other late starting classes<br />
may be added at any time as long as the total number of semester<br />
hours does not exceed catalog regulations. The withdrawal/<br />
drop policy will apply proportionately to these classes as defined<br />
in Withdrawal Procedures. Students are advised to examine information<br />
in the Schedule to determine when they may make<br />
changes in their schedules without penalty.<br />
Changes in Class Schedule<br />
Changes in a student’s schedule must be made in the Office of<br />
Admissions and Records. A student is officially registered for<br />
only those courses appearing on the official schedule.<br />
Any student desiring to add a class or drop a class must contact<br />
the Office of Admissions and Records to complete a schedule<br />
change form. No change is official until this procedure is completed.<br />
Changes for Extension Center students can be made at<br />
the individual centers, following the same procedures.<br />
Students withdrawing after the first two weeks (or equivalent)<br />
of classes will have a “W” recorded on their transcripts. Each<br />
student is responsible for initiating the withdrawal request<br />
either by letter or by completing the withdrawal form which<br />
is available in the Office of Admissions and Records. All<br />
withdrawal requests must be filed no later than two weeks prior<br />
to the end of any regular length semester (one week for the<br />
summer semester) or the proportionate time thereof for other<br />
length courses. A student who does not withdraw officially<br />
from a class may be subject to an “F” grade.<br />
A student having enrolled in and attended a class remains enrolled<br />
in the class until the student initiates a withdrawal or the<br />
student is withdrawn under provisions stated for administrative<br />
action.<br />
ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION: Students who never attend,<br />
or cease to attend, any class in which they have enrolled may be<br />
administratively withdrawn upon recommendation of the instructor.<br />
A student may be withdrawn from a class by administrative<br />
action as a result of, but not limited to, attendance and<br />
conduct. Students will be notified by the Admissions and<br />
Records Officer and may be reinstated with the approval of the<br />
instructor and Vice President of Educational Services.<br />
A student may be withdrawn by administrative action through<br />
the Vice President of Educational Services as a consequence of<br />
disciplinary measures instituted under provisions of the Board<br />
policy on Student Rights and Responsibilities or as a result of<br />
the implementation of other institutional policies or procedures.<br />
The Admissions and Records Officer hears initial appeals concerning<br />
withdrawals and may institute modifications of these<br />
procedures commensurate with extenuating circumstances that<br />
prevail in special situations.<br />
Academic Information<br />
Withdrawal Procedures<br />
Students have the privilege of withdrawing (dropping) from<br />
classes without the classes becoming a part of their academic<br />
record if they do so during the first two weeks of the regular<br />
sixteen-week Fall and Spring semesters, the first week of the<br />
regular eight-week Summer semester or the proportionate time<br />
of any other class not conforming to a sixteen-week or eightweek<br />
schedule, i.e., eleven calendar days for a twelve-week<br />
class, etc. Students are reminded that withdrawals (drops) during<br />
the first week (or proportionate amount thereof) will receive<br />
a 100% tuition refund, during the second week (or proportionate<br />
amount thereof) will receive a 50% refund, and that no refund is<br />
due after the two week withdrawal (drop) period. The first<br />
“week” for any class other than the regular sixteen-week semester<br />
is defined as whenever one-sixteenth of the class sessions<br />
will have been met and the second “week” whenever one-eighth<br />
of the class sessions will have been met. Students are advised<br />
to consult the Office of Admissions and Records for the exact<br />
dates that will apply to any irregular length course.<br />
18<br />
GRADING SYSTEMS<br />
At the end of each semester, the student will receive a grade for<br />
each class in which he or she was enrolled. As of July 1, 1993,<br />
<strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong> has adopted a 4.0 grade point system. The<br />
following letter grades and grade points are used in computing a<br />
grade point average:<br />
Grade Description Grade Points<br />
A Excellent 4<br />
B Good 3<br />
C Average 2<br />
D Below Average 1<br />
F Failure 0<br />
I<br />
Incomplete<br />
S<br />
Satisfactory<br />
W1 Withdrawal before mid-term<br />
W2 Withdrawal after mid-term<br />
W3 Withdrawal for non-attendance<br />
The grade of Incomplete or I is given at the instructor’s discretion.<br />
It is normally given when a student has been actively engaged<br />
in the class, but missed work or a test due to illness or<br />
excused absences. A maximum of one year or less, at the option<br />
of the instructor, is the time allotted to make up the incomplete<br />
work. If, after this time, it is not made up, the I is recorded<br />
as an F. In most cases, students should have successfully completed<br />
90% of the course requirements to be eligible for an I.<br />
The number of grade points for a grade in a given course is<br />
found by multiplying the grade point value (A = 4, B = 3, C =<br />
2, D = 1, F = 0) by the number of semester hours earned in the<br />
course. The grade point average is computed by dividing the<br />
total number of grade (quality) points which a student has
earned in all courses taken at <strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong> by the total<br />
number of hours represented by those courses (excluding grades<br />
of I, S, or Withdrawal grades).<br />
GRADE CHANGES<br />
Grade changes are initiated by the appropriate instructor and<br />
must be approved by the Vice President of Educational Services<br />
and are recorded by the Registrar.<br />
ACADEMIC HONORS<br />
Both part-time and full-time students are recognized for academic<br />
achievement each semester.<br />
The names of students who complete a minimum of twelve semester<br />
hours in all courses for which the student registered and<br />
earn a 4.0 current semester grade average are published at the<br />
end of the semester as the full-time President’s List. Students<br />
who earn a grade average of 3.5 or above are named to the fulltime<br />
Dean’s List.<br />
The names of students who complete six to eleven semester<br />
hours in all courses for which the student registered and earn a<br />
4.0 current semester grade average are published at the end of<br />
the semester as the part-time President’s List. Students who<br />
earn a grade average of 3.5 or above are named to the part-time<br />
Dean’s List.<br />
Students who are eligible for any scholastic honor roll and who<br />
do not want their names published should advise the Admissions<br />
Officer within one week after the end of a given<br />
semester.<br />
STANDARDS FOR ACADEMIC<br />
ACHIEVEMENT<br />
Standards for Academic Achievement at <strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
have been established in order to guide the student in pursuit of<br />
academic success and maintain an academic environment that<br />
clearly defines expectations for progress.<br />
Good Standing<br />
Students with a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher are in good<br />
standing.<br />
Academic Probation<br />
Any student who is attempting six or more credit hours during a<br />
semester and whose cumulative grade point average falls below<br />
2.0 will be placed on “Academic Probation.” Students who are<br />
placed on “Academic Probation” may continue enrollment and<br />
are encouraged to speak with an advisor about their academic<br />
goals.<br />
Continuing Probation<br />
A student who was placed on “Academic Probation” during his<br />
or her previous term of enrollment and has a current term<br />
grade-point average of 2.0 or higher and has a current cumulative<br />
grade-point average of less than 2.0 will be placed on<br />
“Continuing Probation.” Students placed on “Continuing Probation”<br />
may continue enrollment and are encouraged to speak<br />
with an advisor about their academic goals.<br />
Academic Suspension<br />
Any student who has a cumulative grade point average of less<br />
than 2.0 for a second consecutive semester will be placed on<br />
“Academic Suspension.” Suspended students will not be allowed<br />
to attend during the following semester, excluding summer<br />
term. A suspended student may attend during the summer<br />
term to attempt to raise his/her cumulative grade point average.<br />
Academic Standing Appeal Process<br />
Students who have been placed on “Academic Suspension” may<br />
appeal in writing to the Admission and Records Officer or a<br />
designated representative. Forms are available in the Office of<br />
Admissions and Records. This appeal should document any relevant<br />
circumstances wherein it can be shown that the unsatisfactory<br />
progress was due to unforeseeable or extenuating circumstances;<br />
and that such progress is not indicative of the general<br />
pattern of grades or withdrawals previously established.<br />
The Academic/Financial Aid Appeals Committee will review all<br />
appeals and may grant continuing probationary status. Suspended<br />
students who choose to appeal or are denied their appeal<br />
after review will be dropped from courses before the semester<br />
begins.<br />
REPEATING A COURSE<br />
If a student desires to repeat a course, credit for the course will<br />
be allowed only once, but the highest grade achieved is used to<br />
calculate the over all grade point average. If a student repeats a<br />
course and makes the same grade, this grade will be used only<br />
once in the computation of the grade point average.<br />
TRANSCRIPTS<br />
A transcript is an official record of a student’s academic history<br />
of course enrollment and achievements. All courses officially<br />
attempted are listed.<br />
Official transcripts will be issued and sent from the Admissions<br />
and Records Office upon written request, in person, or by mail.<br />
The college reserves the right to withhold transcripts of persons<br />
who have past due monetary obligations such as tuition, fees or<br />
materials. One transcript will be sent for a fee of $2.00. When<br />
two or more transcripts are requested at the same time, the first<br />
copy will cost $2.00 and additional copies cost $1.00 each. Fax<br />
transmission of unofficial transcripts is available at additional<br />
cost.<br />
19
GRADE REPORTS<br />
At the conclusion of each term a grade report is mailed to each<br />
student enrolled in a course subject to the grading system. Students<br />
enrolled in more than one course receive a composite<br />
grade report including a grade point average. Students who<br />
have not met the academic standards established for their declared<br />
degree, certificate, or program are notified of their academic<br />
standing with the <strong>College</strong>. Grade reports will be released<br />
only for students whose college records are clear of all financial<br />
obligations to the <strong>College</strong>.<br />
CLASS ATTENDANCE<br />
Students are expected to attend all regularly scheduled classes<br />
and are responsible for fulfilling the requirements of each<br />
course. Individual instructors may set class attendance requirements<br />
that they consider to be reasonable and that are consistent<br />
with the objectives of the course. Instructors may assign final<br />
grades based, in part, upon class attendance. Institutional policy<br />
also grants the faculty the prerogative of withdrawing (during<br />
the official withdrawal period) those students who do not attend<br />
class regularly. (See Withdrawal Procedures for further information).<br />
Mid-semester tests and final examinations are customary<br />
in all courses.<br />
COURSE LOAD<br />
The normal full-time academic load is 15 to 18 semester hours.<br />
Students wishing to enroll in 19 to 21 semester hours (excluding<br />
orientation, physical education, and/or applied music), must<br />
obtain permission from their academic advisor/counselor. Students<br />
wishing to enroll in 22 or more semester hours must obtain<br />
permission from their academic advisor/counselor and the<br />
Vice President of Educational Services.<br />
AUDITING A CLASS<br />
With the consent of the Vice President of Educational Services,<br />
a student may be admitted to a course for audit. The student<br />
must register, pay all regular tuition and fees, attend all regular<br />
class sessions, but is not required to take examinations. The<br />
student does not receive a grade nor credit for the course, but<br />
the course is listed as Audit. A student who enrolls to audit a<br />
course is subject to compliance with all other <strong>College</strong> regulations<br />
including attendance. Registration for audit must be accomplished<br />
during the specified time of registration for a given<br />
semester. The student MAY NOT change to Audit after the<br />
tenth day, or equivalent, of a semester.<br />
TRANSFER CREDIT<br />
Transfer credit hours are defined as those credit hours from a<br />
regionally accredited institution evaluated by the Registrar that<br />
can be used toward a degree or certificate at <strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong>.<br />
All cumulative credits and grade point average will be shown<br />
on the student’s official <strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong> transcript and will<br />
be incorporated into the <strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong> cumulative credit<br />
hours and grade point average. Credit will be posted when the<br />
evaluation is complete.<br />
A student who, while in high school, takes college courses and<br />
upon completion of high school then enters <strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
will have those college courses accepted on the same basis as<br />
any other transfer student.<br />
CREDIT FOR MILITARY SERVICE<br />
Members and former members of the Armed Services, upon<br />
presenting separation papers (DD-214), may be granted the following<br />
credits:<br />
STUDENT CLASSIFICATION<br />
Students are classified as follows:<br />
Freshman - completed less than 30 semester hours;<br />
Sophomore - completed 30 or more semester hours;<br />
Other - not pursuing a specific educational goal or having an<br />
associate or higher degree.<br />
Full-time status - A student is considered full-time if he/she is<br />
enrolled in twelve or more credit hours (six credit hours for the<br />
summer term).<br />

the Office of Admissions and Records for evaluation for credit.<br />
Proper identification and documentation of all training schools<br />
is required before an evaluation will be completed.<br />
20
PROFICIENCY CREDIT<br />
The proficiency examination is a alternative means to establish<br />
college credit or advanced standing for students who believe<br />
they have mastered college level subject generally by means<br />
other than attendance in a <strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong> course. If the student<br />
successfully completes the appropriate examination, credit<br />
for the specific course in question may be entered on the student’s<br />
permanent record. The process for application is as follows:<br />
the student should informally discuss with the appropriate<br />
Dean whether sufficient evidence of ability exists to warrant<br />
pursuit of a proficiency exam. The student must pay a non-refundable<br />
fee prior to the administration of the proficiency examination.<br />
Please see Testing Services for more information.<br />
INDEPENDENT STUDY AND<br />
COOPERATIVE EDUCATION<br />
Independent study and cooperative education may not be used<br />
to substitute for specific program requirements or core requirements.<br />
Credit earned in this area will count as elective credit.<br />
Independent study requires the permission of the Vice President<br />
of Educational Services.<br />
ALTERNATE GRADING SYSTEM<br />
POLICY<br />
Any student who desires the alternate grading system of S (Satisfactory)<br />
or W (Withdrawal) in any course numbered above<br />
100 may request the alternate grading system in the specific<br />
course in writing. The college calendar deadline for withdrawal<br />
from a course is applicable. (See section on Withdrawals)<br />
A student may not earn more than eight semester hours of S<br />
grades toward the Associate in Arts or the Associate in Science<br />
Degree or not more than sixteen semester hours of S grades toward<br />
the Associate in Applied Science or the Associate in General<br />
Studies Degree.<br />
Semester hours earned as S grades are creditable toward a degree,<br />
but the grade is not calculated in determination of gradepoint-average.<br />
NOTE: A S grade may not be accepted as transfer credit by<br />
some colleges or universities.<br />

Dean’s List (Cum Laude): This honor is awarded to graduates<br />
whose cumulative grade point average (including all KC credit<br />
and transfer credit) is within the 3.5 - 3.9 range on the student’s<br />
<strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong> transcript at the end of the term of graduation.<br />
President’s List (Magna Cum Laude): This honor is awarded to<br />

RESIDENCY CLASSIFICATION OF<br />
STUDENTS<br />
Tuition is charged on the basis of residency classification as defined<br />
below:<br />
The <strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong> Board of Trustees has established a policy<br />
on residence which authorizes the Administration to implement<br />
guidelines, consistent with existing law, for classifying<br />
students as Illinois In-District, Illinois Out-of-District, Out-of-<br />
State, and International. This policy considers residence to be<br />
that permanent domicile established for a purpose independent<br />
of attendance at a school as a student.<br />
The word residence is generally interpreted to have no fixed<br />
meaning in the law, but may have a variety of meanings dependent<br />
on the context with which it is employed. The courts<br />
have generally held that unless defined by Statute an administrative<br />
body can define the term residence.<br />
The <strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong> guidelines for determining residency<br />
are delineated in the paragraphs which follow:<br />
1. Tuition rates for <strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong> are established by the<br />
Board of Trustees and vary according to the residence of the<br />
student. Residence is considered to be that permanent domicile<br />
established for a purpose independent of attendance as a<br />
student. The assessment of tuition and fees for any given semester<br />
is based on the residence classification of the student<br />
as of the first day of classes for that semester. Each student<br />
is required to pay the appropriate fees according to his/her<br />
classification.<br />
2. Residency is determined according to the circumstances that<br />
exist at the time the application is filed for admission to the<br />
<strong>College</strong>. An applicant may be required to submit additional<br />
documented information to support the residence declaration<br />
given by the student on the application.<br />
3. For the purpose of this policy, marriage is regarded as effecting<br />
emancipation of minors, whether male or female.<br />
4. The initial classification of a student will remain in effect for<br />
all subsequent semesters unless such classification is<br />

<strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong> website at www.kc.cc.il.us.<br />
Out-of-District students may qualify for tuition on the same basis<br />

time as required by the home community college district, a letter<br />
(charge-back) which states the district in which the student<br />

Students who enroll in any approved Joint Agreement program<br />
are required to file a letter of Certification of Residency from<br />
the student’s home district with the Dean of Career and Technical<br />
Education Office prior to enrollment, and may qualify for<br />

Refund of Tuition and Fees<br />
A student enrolling in a class automatically assumes the responsibility<br />
of properly dropping the class(es) when the student decides<br />
not to attend or complete the course.<br />
A refund of tuition and fees cannot be made unless a student officially<br />
drops the class in the Office of Admissions and Records.<br />
(Even if the student has not paid their fees, they will be charged<br />
for the class if they do not officially drop it).<br />
Refunds will be computed from the date that the written request<br />
to be dropped from a class is received in the Office of Admissions<br />
and Records and will be based on the following schedule:<br />
Summer Term*<br />
During First Week<br />
of Term 100%<br />
After First Week of Term 0%<br />
Fall and Spring Semesters*<br />
During First Two Weeks<br />
of Semester 100%<br />
After 2nd Week of Semester 0%<br />
Payment of Tuition and Fees<br />
Students registering for each semester are required to pay a<br />
minimum of 25% of the tuition and fees. Students who have not<br />
paid the 25% minimum or do not have a financial aid deferral,<br />
will be removed from the class rosters prior to the beginning of<br />
classes. It is the student’s responsibility to re-enroll if dropped<br />
from classes due to late payment. Any balance of tuition and<br />
fees or other charges should be paid in full by mid-term of each<br />
semester. Students who have balances will not be permitted to<br />
pre-register or register for future semesters.<br />
After the second week of classes, there will be no refund of tuition<br />
and fees. A first-time student who is a Title IV financial<br />
aid recipient and withdraws from all classes may be subject to<br />
the federal refund policy. For more information, contact the Financial<br />
Aid Office.<br />
*For courses not conducted following the regular calendar<br />
terms, the tuition refund shall be computed on the fractional<br />
part of the class time used before the classes are dropped. For<br />
additional information, please contact the Admissions and<br />
Records Office.<br />

student has enrolled and earned credit in other college coursework.<br />
A student may not attempt a proficiency exam after being enrolled<br />
in a class for 20% of the class sessions. If a student completes<br />
a course or is placed in a course at a certain level by<br />
placement exams, he/she may not attempt to proficiency a<br />
course of lesser difficulty. (Exception to this rule may be approved<br />
by the appropriate Dean in order to meet certification requirements.)<br />
The number of credits that will be posted on a<br />
transcript earned by CLEP, Proficiency, Independent Study<br />
and/or Experiential Learning shall not exceed the number of<br />
credits earned by class work delivered by the traditional<br />
method. For each proficiency hour of credit awarded, an equal<br />
number of hours must be earned by regular class attendance before<br />
the proficiency credit is posted on the transcript. In specific<br />
situations, this rule may be waived by the appropriate Dean.<br />

Financial Aid<br />
Purpose of the <strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
Financial Aid Program<br />
Financial aid provides assistance to students who, for lack of<br />
funds, would not be able to attend college. <strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
offers financial aid in the forms of grants, scholarships, and student<br />
work programs. Students are encouraged to apply for financial<br />
aid as soon as possible after January 1 for the next academic<br />
year. Some funding is limited, so the later one applies,<br />
the greater the possibility that funds may be exhausted.<br />
Students may receive money from any or all of the following<br />
programs:<br />
Grants and Scholarships<br />
Federal Pell Grant<br />
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant<br />
(FSEOG)<br />

To be eligible for financial assistance at <strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong>, a<br />
student must fulfill the following requirements:<br />
1. Be enrolled at <strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong> in an eligible program of<br />
study.<br />
2. Have a high school transcript which indicates their graduation<br />
date or passing scores from the GED on file with the Office<br />
of Admissions and Records. Students who have not received<br />
their high school diploma or passed their GED must<br />
take an Ability to Benefit Test which demonstrates by a passing<br />
score that the student has the ability to benefit from<br />
his/her program of study.<br />
3. Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid<br />
(FAFSA) listing <strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong>, code number 001701, as<br />
the first college of choice. By completing this one form, the<br />

Student Assistance Commission Monetary Award Program<br />
(MAP), ISAC Illinois Incentive for Access Program (IIA),<br />
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant<br />
(FSEOG), Federal Work-Study (FWS). Continuing financial<br />
aid applicants should receive a renewal application by the<br />
end of January that can be submitted in place of the FAFSA.<br />

to complete the verification process. Failure to provide documentation<br />
to complete verification will result in loss of eligibility.<br />

Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy.<br />
7. Enroll for a minimum number of hours as specified by the financial<br />
aid program. If you are unsure if a course is eligible,<br />
check with the Financial Aid Office. A change in your enrollment<br />
during the semester may affect your financial aid.<br />
It is the student’s responsibility to notify the Financial Aid<br />
Office when you make any schedule changes.<br />
40
Understanding Financial Need<br />
Financial need is generally defined as the difference between<br />
the cost of attending college and the amount that the student<br />
and family can contribute. Students and parents have the primary<br />
responsibility of financing a student’s education to the extent<br />
they are able. <strong>College</strong> financial assistance should be<br />
viewed as a supplemental to the effort of the family to assist<br />
with college expenses.<br />
Family’s income alone does not determine how much aid the<br />
student qualifies for. Other factors such as the size of the family<br />
and the number of children in college, are also important in<br />
analyzing need.<br />
Determining Financial Need<br />
The family information you provide on the Free Application for<br />
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is calculated by the federal government’s<br />
comprehensive formula, to determine the amount the<br />
student and family can contribute. The amount that your family<br />
is expected to contribute to educational costs is the expected<br />
family contribution (EFC).<br />
The expected family contribution is then subtracted from your<br />
total cost of attendance which includes tuition, room and board,<br />
estimates of personal expenses and transportation. The<br />
remaining amount is your financial need, which becomes the<br />
basis for the financial aid award.<br />
Cost of Attendance-<br />
Expected Family Contribution =<br />
Financial Need<br />
An award letter listing your financial aid will be sent to you after<br />
your file has been completed and your financial need determined.<br />
New award letters are not automatically sent when<br />
enrollment status changes.<br />
Definition of Academic Year<br />
All financial aid programs consist of one fall semester and one<br />
spring semester, each including a minimum of 15 weeks of instruction.<br />
The summer semester ends the academic year and<br />
has a minimum of seven weeks of instruction.<br />
Fall, spring and summer semesters are each considered separate<br />
payment periods for financial aid programs. Payment periods<br />
will be consistent with semesters of enrollment.<br />
Full-time<br />
Three-quarter time<br />
Half-time<br />
Less-than-half-time<br />
= 12 or more credit hours<br />
= 9 - 11 credit hours<br />
= 6 - 8 credit hours<br />
= 5 credit hours or less.<br />
Ability-To-Benefit<br />
Students who do not have a high school diploma or passing<br />
scores on a GED must take an Ability to Benefit test which<br />
demonstrates by a passing score that the student has the ability<br />
to benefit from his/her program of study.<br />
The Ability to Benefit test shall be administered by the<br />
<strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong> Counseling Department.<br />
The approved Ability to Benefit test shall be the ASSET Program<br />
Basic Skills Test (Reading, Writing, and Numerical Skills)<br />
Form BD.<br />
Approved passing scores:<br />
Reading 34<br />
Writing 34<br />
Numerical Skills 33<br />
Types of Financial Aid<br />
Federal Pell Grant<br />
The Federal Pell Grant provides gift aid for students who<br />
demonstrate financial need. The student must be enrolled in an<br />
eligible certificate program or a two-year degree program.<br />

status. Students must file the Free Application for Federal<br />
Student Aid (FAFSA) to be considered for the grant. The Pell<br />
grant will assist students with expenses such as tuition, fees,<br />
books, and other educational expenses.<br />
Federal Supplemental Educational<br />
Opportunities Grant (FSEOG)<br />
All students who complete the FAFSA and have eligibility for a<br />
Pell Grant may be considered for this gift aid. The awards are<br />
based on need. Due to limited funds, priority is given to students<br />
with exceptional need who have completed their financial<br />
aid file early.<br />
Illinois Student Assistance Commission<br />
Monetary Award Program (MAP)<br />
Students apply by indicating on their FAFSA that they want information<br />
forwarded to their state of residence. The MAP grant<br />
provides payment toward tuition and mandatory fees to eligible<br />
students enrolled at least half-time who are Illinois residents for<br />
at least one year prior to the start of the academic year.<br />
41
Illinois Student Assistance Commission<br />
Illinois Incentive for Access (IIA)<br />

KASKASKIA COLLEGE STANDARDS OF<br />
ACADEMIC PROGRESS FOR FINANCIAL<br />
AID RECIPIENTS<br />
The <strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong> Office of Financial Aid is required by<br />
the United States Department of Education, and Illinois Student<br />
Assistance Commission to monitor academic progress for students<br />
receiving federal and/or state financial assistance. Satisfactory<br />
Progress Standards are used to ensure that students who<br />
receive any federal and state assistance are satisfactorily progressing<br />
towards their educational goals in an approved certificate<br />
or degree program.<br />
Students must be in compliance with the Federal Aid Satisfactory<br />
Progress Policy regardless of whether the student has previously<br />
received any financial aid. All semesters of attendance<br />
are included in the evaluation. All transfer coursework that has<br />
been accepted for credit by <strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong> will be considered<br />
in determining eligibility. Students who have not previously<br />
received financial aid will not be notified of their status until<br />
they have applied for financial aid.<br />
SATISFACTORY PROGRESS REQUIREMENTS<br />
Satisfactory Progress must include a qualitative and quantitative<br />
measurement consistently applied to all students. At <strong>Kaskaskia</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong>, these measurements are determined by the following<br />
criteria:<br />
1. Cumulative GPA is at least 2.0<br />
2. Cumulative Completion Rate is no less than 67% (total credit<br />
hours earned divided by total credit hours attempted.<br />
FINANCIAL AID PROBATION<br />
A student who fails to meet the above named requirements for<br />
the first time will be placed on Financial Aid Probation. Financial<br />
Aid Probation is a warning status and will have no impact<br />
on the eligibility for financial aid or veteran benefits. Financial<br />
Aid Probation is a continuing status unless a suspension occurs.<br />
FINANCIAL AID SUSPENSION<br />
Suspension of financial aid occurs when a student who is on Financial<br />
Aid Probation fails to meet the Satisfactory Progress<br />
Requirements criteria during any semester of attendance after<br />
being placed on probation. Students on Financial Aid Suspension<br />
will NOT be eligible to receive any financial aid benefits.<br />
*Satisfactory progress will be evaluated at the end of the fall<br />
and spring semesters.<br />
APPEAL PROCESS<br />
Students have the right to appeal termination of financial aid<br />
due to unsatisfactory academic progress. This appeal should<br />
document any relevant circumstances wherein it can be shown<br />
that the unsatisfactory progress was due to unforeseeable or extenuating<br />
circumstances - and that such progress is not indicative<br />
of the general pattern of grades or withdrawals previously<br />
established. Financial need is not sufficient criteria on which to<br />
base your appeal. The Appeal Committee will review the appeal<br />
and you will be notified by mail of the decision. Appeal<br />
forms are available from the Office of Financial Aid.<br />

Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention<br />
and Education Program for Student<br />
and Employees<br />
<strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong> is required to comply with various federal<br />
statutes and statutes regarding a Drug-Free Workplace and Environment.<br />
Such statutes include 30 ILCS 580 et. seq.<br />
Because of those statutes, the Board adopts the following policies.<br />
1. It is a condition of employment and a condition of participation<br />
as a student, that you understand this policy and adhere<br />
this policy. Failure to understand and to adhere to the policy<br />
may result in disciplinary actions against you.<br />
2. It is the policy of <strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong> to prohibit the unlawful<br />
manufacture, distribution, disposition, possession, or use of<br />
a controlled substance, including cannabis, in or on the<br />
premises owned or controlled by <strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong> or at any<br />
time while engaging in any college sponsored activities. It<br />
is further the policy of <strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong> to prohibit the use<br />
or possession of alcohol while on <strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong> property<br />
(whether owned or controlled) or at any time while engaged<br />
in any college sponsored activities. The foregoing<br />
prohibitions against controlled substances or the use of alcohol<br />
are hereinafter referred to as “Prohibited Uses”.<br />
3. It is further a condition of employment with <strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
that every employee notify <strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong> Administrative<br />
Personnel of any criminal drug statute conviction<br />
for a violation occurring in the workplace no later than five<br />
(5) days after such conviction. The <strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong> District<br />
hereby certifies that it will notify any federal contracting<br />
agency within ten (10) days of having received notice<br />
that an employee who is engaged in the performance of such<br />
contract has had any criminal drug statute conviction for a<br />
violation occurring in the workplace.<br />
4. VIOLATION OF THIS POLICY by either a student or employee<br />
may lead to termination of employment or the termination<br />

5. VOLUNTARY REHABILITATION - The <strong>College</strong> recognizes<br />
that it is part of the American landscape that people<br />
have problems relating to the abuse of drugs or alcohol. The<br />
<strong>College</strong> encourages students and employees to voluntarily<br />
seek help in the event the student or employee is concerned<br />
with the use of drugs or alcohol. The seeking of rehabilitation<br />
does not, in all cases, automatically excuse ongoing disciplinary<br />
actions or violation of rules that have previously<br />
occurred, but may be used as a mitigating circumstance to<br />
any disciplinary proceedings.<br />
6. COUNSELING AND TREATMENT PROGRAMS<br />

9. DESCRIPTION OF HEALTH RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH<br />
USE OF ILLICIT DRUGS AND ABUSE OF ALCOHOL<br />
There are severe health risks involved or associated with the use<br />
of illicit drugs and the abuse of alcohol, and the <strong>College</strong> has reference<br />
materials available to any person who is concerned about<br />
his/her use of illicit drugs or alcohol or involving the conduct of<br />
any other person. These references are available by contacting<br />
the Counseling Center. Health risks associated with<br />
commonly used illicit drugs and alcohol are listed hereafter.<br />
A. Marijuana. Marijuana, which is also known as pot and<br />
comes from the cannabis plant, may have the following effects:<br />
it is harmful to unborn children during pregnancy, can<br />
lead to high blood pressure, can lead to lung disease, can inhibit<br />
short-term memory, can slow reaction time, can impair<br />
visual tracking, can speed up heartbeat and lead to high<br />
blood pressure, can break down immune system or depress<br />
immune system, and most important, frequent use is linked<br />
to cognitive impairment (an inability to think abstractly and<br />
understand concepts).<br />
B. Hallucinogens. The hallucinogens, drugs that produce<br />
changes in perception, mood, and thought, include LSD,<br />
mescaline, psilocybin, DMT., and STP. PCP, a dissociative<br />
anesthetic, has similar effects. The effects of LSD are unpredictable<br />
and may range from euphoria and heightened sensory<br />
awareness to hallucinations, panic reactions, and flashbacks.<br />
PCP is a very dangerous drug that also has terribly<br />
unpredictable effects involving development of psychotic<br />
states or severe depression. Medical treatment is necessary<br />
in cases of severe hallucinogen reactions.<br />
C. Depressants, Barbiturates, and Tranquilizers. Depressants,<br />
barbiturates and tranquilizers have depressing effects on the<br />
central nervous system and can lead to physical and psychological<br />
dependence. These drugs are very popular and are<br />
overused by Americans.<br />
D. Cocaine. Cocaine is an ìupperî derived from the leaves of<br />
the South American coca plant. It is an up-scale drug used<br />
by people in many professions, despite its illegal status.<br />
Regular use can lead to depression, weight loss, paranoia,<br />
and hallucinations. These effects and the more positive ones<br />
associated with cocaine are similar to those caused by amphetamines.<br />
Cocaine is a powerful drug that overstimulates<br />
the central nervous system and produces an artificial euphoria.<br />
Even the occasional user takes dangerous chances, but<br />
chronic use can create a harmful dependency that affects behavior<br />
and multiplies health risks. To make matters worse,<br />
cocaine tricks people into feeling better than they are, making<br />
it possible for them to put on a “superhuman” exterior,<br />
while inside they may be suffering.<br />
E. Opiates. The opiates—opium, its derivatives (morphine,<br />
heroin, and codeine), and the synthetically produced drug<br />
methadone have sedative and analgesic effects. Heroin is the
opiate that is of most concern to law-enforcement officials.<br />
Initially an extremely pleasant drug, heroin use quickly leads<br />
to dependence and increasing larger quantities must be taken<br />
simply to ward off withdrawal symptoms. The exposure orientation<br />
holds that addiction results simply from exposure to<br />
the drug over time.<br />
F. Amphetamines. Amphetamines are sometimes known as<br />
speed or uppers and are prescribed by doctors to suppress appetite<br />
and relieve mild depression from time to time. For<br />
people who have neurological and behavior disorders, they<br />
can be harmful. But amphetamine abuse in a normal person<br />
can lead to full-blown psychosis as well as to milder effects<br />
such as insomnia, restlessness, irritability, difficulty in concentrating,<br />
and agitation and confusion.<br />
G Alcohol. There are several typical patterns to alcohol abuse:<br />
regular, daily use of large quantities; regular, heavy drinking<br />
confined to such periods as weekends; and unpredictable<br />
binge drinking. Alcohol abuse is often called problem drinking,<br />
whereas alcohol dependence is referred to as alcoholism.<br />
The connection between alcohol and fatal road accidents<br />
makes this drug one of, if not the, most dangerous drugs.<br />
Drug and Alcohol Prevention and<br />
Education Program for Students<br />
<strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong> is required, pursuant to a Federal Act called<br />
Drug-Free School and Communities Act Amendment of 1989<br />
which is Public Law 101-226 of the Higher Education Act, to<br />
adopt and implement a drug and alcohol abuse prevention and<br />
education program. The Board of Trustees of the <strong>College</strong> endorses<br />
this Act as well as the Drug-Free Work Place Act of<br />
1988 and has adopted appropriate rules which apply to<br />
<strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong>.<br />
STUDENTS WITH CHRONIC<br />
COMMUNICABLE DISEASES<br />
Students with identified chronic communicable diseases may attend<br />
college whenever, through reasonable accommodation, the<br />
risk of transmission of the disease and/or the risk of further<br />
injury to the student is sufficiently remote in such setting so as<br />
to be outweighed by the detrimental effects resulting from the<br />
student’s exclusion from college. Placement decisions will<br />
be made by using this standard in conjunction with current,<br />
available public health department guidelines concerning the<br />
particular disease in question. Individual cases will not be prejudged;<br />
rather, decisions will be made based upon the facts of<br />
the particular case. The determination of whether a student<br />
with a chronic communicable disease may attend college shall<br />
be made in accordance with procedures implemented by the<br />
<strong>College</strong>. Students with chronic communicable diseases shall<br />
maintain all rights, privileges and services provided by law and<br />
the policies of the college.<br />
The <strong>College</strong> shall respect the right to privacy of any student<br />
who has a chronic communicable disease. The student’s medical<br />
condition shall be disclosed only to the extent necessary to<br />
minimize the health risks to the student and others. The number<br />
of personnel aware of the student’s condition will be kept at the<br />
minimum needed to assure proper care of the student and to detect<br />
situations in which the potential for transmission of the disease<br />
may increase. Persons deemed to have “a direct need to<br />
know” will be provided with the appropriate information and<br />
will be made aware of confidentiality requirements.<br />
The <strong>Kaskaskia</strong> <strong>College</strong> Student Drug and Alcohol Awareness<br />
Task Force addresses the prevention, abuse, use of drugs and alcohol<br />
on campus. Students are invited and encouraged to become<br />
a member of the Task Force.<br />
57

department having legal jurisdiction for that area.<br />
Officers patrol the campus to assure a high level of security. As<br />
a regular part of their patrol duties they look for any safety<br />
problems such as defective lighting, inoperative doors or locks,<br />
broken sidewalks, steps and hand rails and any other conditions<br />
which might detract from one’s personal well being. All such<br />
conditions can be reported, in writing.<br />
Crime Prevention<br />
1. DO report all crimes and/or suspicious activities to the Security<br />
Department.<br />
2. DO protect your personal property just as you would money.<br />
3. DO mark your property such as tape recorders, calculators,<br />
radios, etc., with some form of identification number.<br />
