Kellogg Community College is an equal opportunity, equal access college with an open admission policy. Admission to KCC is open to anyone who demonstrates the motivation and maturity to benefit from courses and programs offered; however, admission to specific programs is not necessarily guaranteed.
Admission is open to anyone who fits into one of the following categories:
- High school graduate
- Earned high school equivalency certificate (GED)
- Completion of a home school program
- Age 18 or older
- A student desiring to participate in the Dual Enrollment Program
A lack of English language proficiency does not prevent admission to KCC; however, most college courses require basic proficiency in English. The Next Gen ACCUPLACER® writing and ESL tests can help you determine if improvement is needed. Please see an Academic Advisor for assistance.
Dual Enrollment Process
High school students who wish to complete college credit before high school graduation must meet with their high school guidance counselor to determine if they are eligible to become a dual enrolled student at Kellogg Community College. Students who are eligible to dual enroll must complete KCC’s Dual Enrollment Application. Students are required to meet all prerequisites of the courses in which they intend to enroll. All required signatures must be obtained before the student is able to register for classes.
Students who are under the age of 14 must receive permission from the appropriate KCC department in order to enroll. For more information, please contact Admissions at 269-965-4153.
Guest Student Application Process
Students who are currently enrolled at another college or university and wish to take a class or classes at Kellogg Community College must complete KCC’s Guest Student Application.
Once you have submitted a Guest Student Application, you will need to establish residency using acceptable documentation. This can be done in person at the Admission’s office in Battle Creek, or any of the campus locations in Albion, Coldwater, or Hastings or by contacting the Admission’s office at 269-965-4153 or adm@kellogg.edu.
Guest students are required to provide documentation indicating that they meet all prerequisites for the course(s) in which they would like to enroll.
International Students Application Process
Kellogg Community College is authorized under federal law to enroll non-immigrant students.
If you desire F-1 VISA student status, you must complete and sign the KCC International Student Application for admission and provide the following documents: official copies of your academic records (both high school and college) evaluated by an accredited evaluation organization, proof of written and oral English competency (if English is not your official native language), evidence that sufficient financial resources are available to meet all expenses in the form of a proof of support letter and a bank statement reflecting at least the minimum cost estimate established by Kellogg Community College.
Upon acceptance to the college, an I-20 (Certificate of Eligibility) form will be issued to you. Requests for KCC International Student Applications should be made through the Admissions Office.
Note: Authorized non-US citizens under visas other than F-1 may attend KCC; final admissions decisions rest with the College.
Admission to Allied Health Programs

- Gather Admission Requirements
At the time of application, applicants must supply all necessary documentation. Incomplete applications will not be accepted.

- Alternate List
All alternates will receive an alternate confirmation letter indicating their status.

Individuals on the alternate list will be notified by telephone if a position in the program opens. Once the program begins, all alternates need to re-apply for the next application year.
