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

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

Extension Centers
Weekend College
Kaskaskia College is extending itself throughout District 501 to
provide educational opportunities for all the residents of our district. By cooperating with local school districts, we can create
opportunities for you as part of your local school Adult Education Program. The addition of our Vandalia, Salem and Trenton
Centers makes it possible for those unable to attend on campus
to continue their education. We offer programs and courses
whenever feasible and consistent with efficient use of available
resources at any of the centers or other locations upon request.
The College offers on-campus classes on Saturdays. Courses offered include those for students who wish to continue their collegiate work at a senior college later and for students who seek to
acquire marketable skills and knowledge for immediate employment. Classes may be taken consecutive weekends or alternate
weekends. Contact the Office of Admissions and Records for
more details.

Sonography, Nail Technology, Physical Therapist Assistant, Radiologic Technology, and Respiratory Therapy.
10. All international students must be counseled by an advisor

transportation since Kaskaskia College has no dormitories
and the campus is approximately 5 miles from the nearest
town. We offer assistance in finding housing and transportation, but arrangements are the responsibility of the student
and are expected to be complete prior to the student’s enrollment.
Consult the curriculum section of this catalog to determine the
specific admission requirements for these programs. Kaskaskia
College in-district applicants who complete the application
process by the program’s application deadline will receive preferential consideration in the selection process.
Advisement/Registration
Associate in Arts/Associate in Science Degree track students (or
students who have applied for the AA/AS Degree) must fulfill
degree requirements in place in the previous summer semester
of the semester of enrollment. Students whose enrollment has
been interrupted for one year or more must meet AA/AS Degree
requirements in place at the time of re-enrollment.
It is recommended that applicants submit ACT scores from the
American College Testing program. If the Kaskaskia College
code of 0964 is listed as a college choice when the ACT test is
taken, the results will be sent automatically to the college.
While not required for admission, ACT scores are recommended because they can be used in certain cases instead of placement tests and can be used as an aid to students and counselors
in selecting a program.
International Students
1. All international students must present the required credentials before an I-20 is issued by the Admissions and Records
Officer. Requirements are:
a. A TOEFL score of at least 500 or higher
b. Transcript of credit from high school and any colleges
attended
c. A certified letter showing proof of total financial support
while in attendance at Kaskaskia College.
Students who do not have ACT scores should take the ASSET
test at Kaskaskia College.
Day, evening, and some weekend classes are available at
Kaskaskia College, the Vandalia Center, the Trenton Center and
the Harry L. Crisp Manufacturing and Technology Center, and at
other locations throughout the community. Telecourses and interactive video classes are also available. Classes are subject to a
minimum number of registrants in order for the class to meet.

Late enrollment is usually permitted if the class has met only
once. Enrollment after the second session is by permission of
the instructor and Vice President of Educational Services.
rolled in the class until the student initiates a withdrawal or the
student is withdrawn under provisions stated for administrative
action.
ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION: Students who never attend,
or cease to attend, any class in which they have enrolled may be
administratively withdrawn upon recommendation of the instructor. A student may be withdrawn from a class by administrative action as a result of, but not limited to, attendance and
conduct. Students will be notified by the Admissions and
Records Officer and may be reinstated with the approval of the
instructor and Vice President of Educational Services.
Those courses which are by individualized instruction, independent study, open-entry/open-exit classes, or other late starting classes may be added at any time as long as the total number of semester hours does not exceed catalog regulations. The withdrawal/
drop policy will apply proportionately to these classes as defined
in Withdrawal Procedures. Students are advised to examine information in the Schedule to determine when they may make
changes in their schedules without penalty.
A student may be withdrawn by administrative action through
the Vice President of Educational Services as a consequence of
disciplinary measures instituted under provisions of the Board
policy on Student Rights and Responsibilities or as a result of
the implementation of other institutional policies or procedures.
Changes in Class Schedule
Changes in a student’s schedule must be made in the Office of
Admissions and Records. A student is officially registered for
only those courses appearing on the official schedule.
The Admissions and Records Officer hears initial appeals concerning withdrawals and may institute modifications of these
procedures commensurate with extenuating circumstances that
prevail in special situations.
Any student desiring to add a class or drop a class must contact
the Office of Admissions and Records to complete a schedule
change form. No change is official until this procedure is completed. Changes for Extension Center students can be made at
the individual centers, following the same procedures.
Academic Information
GRADING SYSTEMS
At the end of each semester, the student will receive a grade for
each class in which he or she was enrolled. As of July 1, 1993,
Kaskaskia College has adopted a 4.0 grade point system. The
following letter grades and grade points are used in computing a
grade point average:
Withdrawal Procedures
Students have the privilege of withdrawing (dropping) from
classes without the classes becoming a part of their academic
record if they do so during the first two weeks of the regular
sixteen-week Fall and Spring semesters, the first week of the
regular eight-week Summer semester or the proportionate time
of any other class not conforming to a sixteen-week or eightweek schedule, i.e., eleven calendar days for a twelve-week
class, etc. Students are reminded that withdrawals (drops) during the first week (or proportionate amount thereof) will receive
a 100% tuition refund, during the second week (or proportionate
amount thereof) will receive a 50% refund, and that no refund is
due after the two week withdrawal (drop) period. The first
“week” for any class other than the regular sixteen-week semester is defined as whenever one-sixteenth of the class sessions
will have been met and the second “week” whenever one-eighth
of the class sessions will have been met. Students are advised
to consult the Office of Admissions and Records for the exact
dates that will apply to any irregular length course.

Withdrawal for non-attendance
The grade of Incomplete or I is given at the instructor’s discretion. It is normally given when a student has been actively engaged in the class, but missed work or a test due to illness or
excused absences. A maximum of one year or less, at the option of the instructor, is the time allotted to make up the incomplete work. If, after this time, it is not made up, the I is recorded
as an F. In most cases, students should have successfully completed 90% of the course requirements to be eligible for an I.
Students withdrawing after the first two weeks (or equivalent)
of classes will have a “W” recorded on their transcripts. Each
student is responsible for initiating the withdrawal request
either by letter or by completing the withdrawal form which
is available in the Office of Admissions and Records. All
withdrawal requests must be filed no later than two weeks prior
to the end of any regular length semester (one week for the
summer semester) or the proportionate time thereof for other
length courses. A student who does not withdraw officially
from a class may be subject to an “F” grade.
A student having enrolled in and attended a class remains en-
The number of grade points for a grade in a given course is
found by multiplying the grade point value (A = 4, B = 3, C =
2, D = 1, F = 0) by the number of semester hours earned in the
course. The grade point average is computed by dividing the
total number of grade (quality) points which a student has
18
earned in all courses taken at Kaskaskia College by the total
number of hours represented by those courses (excluding grades
of I, S, or Withdrawal grades).
Continuing Probation
A student who was placed on “Academic Probation” during his
or her previous term of enrollment and has a current term
grade-point average of 2.0 or higher and has a current cumulative grade-point average of less than 2.0 will be placed on
“Continuing Probation.” Students placed on “Continuing Probation” may continue enrollment and are encouraged to speak
with an advisor about their academic goals.
GRADE CHANGES
Grade changes are initiated by the appropriate instructor and
must be approved by the Vice President of Educational Services
and are recorded by the Registrar.
Academic Suspension
Any student who has a cumulative grade point average of less
than 2.0 for a second consecutive semester will be placed on
“Academic Suspension.” Suspended students will not be allowed to attend during the following semester, excluding summer term. A suspended student may attend during the summer
term to attempt to raise his/her cumulative grade point average.
ACADEMIC HONORS
Both part-time and full-time students are recognized for academic achievement each semester.
The names of students who complete a minimum of twelve semester hours in all courses for which the student registered and
earn a 4.0 current semester grade average are published at the
end of the semester as the full-time President’s List. Students
who earn a grade average of 3.5 or above are named to the fulltime Dean’s List.
Academic Standing Appeal Process
Students who have been placed on “Academic Suspension” may
appeal in writing to the Admission and Records Officer or a
designated representative. Forms are available in the Office of
Admissions and Records. This appeal should document any relevant circumstances wherein it can be shown that the unsatisfactory progress was due to unforeseeable or extenuating circumstances; and that such progress is not indicative of the general pattern of grades or withdrawals previously established.
The Academic/Financial Aid Appeals Committee will review all
appeals and may grant continuing probationary status. Suspended students who choose to appeal or are denied their appeal
after review will be dropped from courses before the semester
begins.
The names of students who complete six to eleven semester
hours in all courses for which the student registered and earn a
4.0 current semester grade average are published at the end of
the semester as the part-time President’s List. Students who
earn a grade average of 3.5 or above are named to the part-time
Dean’s List.
Students who are eligible for any scholastic honor roll and who
do not want their names published should advise the Admissions Officer within one week after the end of a given
semester.
REPEATING A COURSE
If a student desires to repeat a course, credit for the course will
be allowed only once, but the highest grade achieved is used to
calculate the over all grade point average. If a student repeats a
course and makes the same grade, this grade will be used only
once in the computation of the grade point average.
STANDARDS FOR ACADEMIC
ACHIEVEMENT
Standards for Academic Achievement at Kaskaskia College
have been established in order to guide the student in pursuit of
academic success and maintain an academic environment that
clearly defines expectations for progress.
TRANSCRIPTS
A transcript is an official record of a student’s academic history
of course enrollment and achievements. All courses officially
attempted are listed.
Good Standing
Students with a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher are in good
standing.
Official transcripts will be issued and sent from the Admissions
and Records Office upon written request, in person, or by mail.
The college reserves the right to withhold transcripts of persons
who have past due monetary obligations such as tuition, fees or
materials. One transcript will be sent for a fee of $2.00. When
two or more transcripts are requested at the same time, the first
copy will cost $2.00 and additional copies cost $1.00 each. Fax
transmission of unofficial transcripts is available at additional
cost.
Academic Probation
Any student who is attempting six or more credit hours during a
semester and whose cumulative grade point average falls below
2.0 will be placed on “Academic Probation.” Students who are
placed on “Academic Probation” may continue enrollment and
are encouraged to speak with an advisor about their academic
goals.
19
GRADE REPORTS
AUDITING A CLASS
At the conclusion of each term a grade report is mailed to each
student enrolled in a course subject to the grading system. Students enrolled in more than one course receive a composite
grade report including a grade point average. Students who
have not met the academic standards established for their declared degree, certificate, or program are notified of their academic standing with the College. Grade reports will be released
only for students whose college records are clear of all financial
obligations to the College.
With the consent of the Vice President of Educational Services,
a student may be admitted to a course for audit. The student
must register, pay all regular tuition and fees, attend all regular
class sessions, but is not required to take examinations. The
student does not receive a grade nor credit for the course, but
the course is listed as Audit. A student who enrolls to audit a
course is subject to compliance with all other College regulations including attendance. Registration for audit must be accomplished during the specified time of registration for a given
semester. The student MAY NOT change to Audit after the
tenth day, or equivalent, of a semester.
CLASS ATTENDANCE
TRANSFER CREDIT
Students are expected to attend all regularly scheduled classes
and are responsible for fulfilling the requirements of each
course. Individual instructors may set class attendance requirements that they consider to be reasonable and that are consistent
with the objectives of the course. Instructors may assign final
grades based, in part, upon class attendance. Institutional policy
also grants the faculty the prerogative of withdrawing (during
the official withdrawal period) those students who do not attend
class regularly. (See Withdrawal Procedures for further information). Mid-semester tests and final examinations are customary in all courses.
Transfer credit hours are defined as those credit hours from a
regionally accredited institution evaluated by the Registrar that
can be used toward a degree or certificate at Kaskaskia College.
All cumulative credits and grade point average will be shown
on the student’s official Kaskaskia College transcript and will
be incorporated into the Kaskaskia College cumulative credit
hours and grade point average. Credit will be posted when the
evaluation is complete.
A student who, while in high school, takes college courses and
upon completion of high school then enters Kaskaskia College
will have those college courses accepted on the same basis as
any other transfer student.
COURSE LOAD
The normal full-time academic load is 15 to 18 semester hours.
Students wishing to enroll in 19 to 21 semester hours (excluding orientation, physical education, and/or applied music), must
obtain permission from their academic advisor/counselor. Students wishing to enroll in 22 or more semester hours must obtain permission from their academic advisor/counselor and the
Vice President of Educational Services.

written request stating the reasons for such consideration at the
time the application for graduation is completed.
PROFICIENCY CREDIT
The proficiency examination is a alternative means to establish
college credit or advanced standing for students who believe
they have mastered college level subject generally by means
other than attendance in a Kaskaskia College course. If the student successfully completes the appropriate examination, credit
for the specific course in question may be entered on the student’s permanent record. The process for application is as follows: the student should informally discuss with the appropriate Dean whether sufficient evidence of ability exists to warrant
pursuit of a proficiency exam. The student must pay a non-refundable fee prior to the administration of the proficiency examination. Please see Testing Services for more information.
All candidates for graduation for any degree must:
1. File an application as a Candidate for Graduation when registering for last semester of classes.
2. The graduation fee currently is $25.00 and is assessed at

semester.
INDEPENDENT STUDY AND
COOPERATIVE EDUCATION
Independent study and cooperative education may not be used
to substitute for specific program requirements or core requirements. Credit earned in this area will count as elective credit.
Independent study requires the permission of the Vice President
of Educational Services.
ALTERNATE GRADING SYSTEM
POLICY
Any student who desires the alternate grading system of S (Satisfactory) or W (Withdrawal) in any course numbered above
100 may request the alternate grading system in the specific
course in writing. The college calendar deadline for withdrawal
from a course is applicable. (See section on Withdrawals)

Kaskaskia College transcript at the end of the term of graduation.
4. The initial classification of a student will remain in effect for

RESIDENCY CLASSIFICATION OF
STUDENTS
Illinois Resident Student
Tuition is charged on the basis of residency classification as defined below:
State guidelines indicate that to qualify as an Illinois Resident
Student for state funding purposes in an Illinois public community college, the student must meet one of the following two requirements:
The Kaskaskia College Board of Trustees has established a policy on residence which authorizes the Administration to implement guidelines, consistent with existing law, for classifying
students as Illinois In-District, Illinois Out-of-District, Out-ofState, and International. This policy considers residence to be
that permanent domicile established for a purpose independent
of attendance at a school as a student.
1. If unemancipated, at least one parent, step-parent or court appointed guardian of the student must be a legal resident in
Illinois.
The word residence is generally interpreted to have no fixed
meaning in the law, but may have a variety of meanings dependent on the context with which it is employed. The courts
have generally held that unless defined by Statute an administrative body can define the term residence.
2. If emancipated, be a legal resident of the State of Illinois and
have lived in Illinois in some capacity other than as a student
at a post-secondary education institution or a resident of a
state or federal correctional institution for a period of at least
thirty (30) days prior to enrolling at the community college,
unless evidence is presented that the student has permanently
relocated for purposes other than attending school.
The Kaskaskia College guidelines for determining residency
are delineated in the paragraphs which follow:
Evidence of legal residency must be based on actual residency
in Illinois and at least one of the following:
1. Tuition rates for Kaskaskia College are established by the
Board of Trustees and vary according to the residence of the
student. Residence is considered to be that permanent domicile established for a purpose independent of attendance as a
student. The assessment of tuition and fees for any given semester is based on the residence classification of the student
as of the first day of classes for that semester. Each student
is required to pay the appropriate fees according to his/her
classification.
1. Ownership and/or occupancy of a home in the State of Illinois
2. An Illinois driver’s license
3. Illinois automobile license registration
4. An Illinois voter’s registration card
5. Employment in the State of Illinois
6. Payment of Illinois income taxes
7. A document pertaining to the student’s past on existing status as an Illinois student (i.e. H.S. record)
8. Other non-self-serving documentation.
2. Residency is determined according to the circumstances that
exist at the time the application is filed for admission to the
College. An applicant may be required to submit additional
documented information to support the residence declaration
given by the student on the application.
Kaskaskia College has established the following classifications
of permanent residence for the purpose of attendance as a
Kaskaskia College student:
22
1. Illinois In-District Student: An Illinois Resident Student as
defined above, whose permanent domicile is within the
boundaries of Community College District No. 501, thirty
(30) days prior to enrollment, for a purpose independent of
attendance as a student. A resident of a state or federal correctional institution shall not be classified as residents of the
district.
trict provided that such domicile was established for reasons
other than to allow the student to gain Illinois In-District
classification.
2. In the case of divorce or separation of the parents, the student shall qualify if either parent meets the requirements.
Military Personnel and Dependents
2. Illinois Out-of-District Student: An Illinois Resident Student,
as defined above, whose permanent domicile is established
outside of Community College District No. 501 and within
the State of Illinois.
1. Illinois In-District tuition and fee rates will be allowed to all
military personnel and their dependents who are citizens of
the United States while they are stationed and present in the
College District in connection with that service.
3. Out-of-State Student: A student whose permanent domicile
is within the United States or its territories, but who does not
qualify as an Illinois Resident Student.
2. Military personnel who are subsequently assigned to temporary duty outside the College District shall continue to qualify as Illinois In-District for tuition and fee classification. In
instances when military personnel are transferred to another
location, this special arrangement to pay Illinois In-District
rates shall terminate for them and their dependents at the end
of the semester in which the student is enrolled.
4. International Student: A student whose permanent domicile
is established outside of the United States and its territories,
who holds a current passport, a valid I-94, and an F-1 student
visa as a result of receiving an I-20 form issued by Kaskaskia College. International students who hold a permanent residence visa or become a naturalized citizen may qualify for
appropriate residency status and will be considered on an individual basis.
3. Temporary Transfer of Parent or Guardian
a. Dependents of persons who have maintained their permanent residence in the College District for at least six months
immediately prior to a temporary transfer by their employer
to a location outside the District shall be eligible for Illinois
In-District classification provided they enroll in the College
within two years from the time of the transfer.
Appeal for Status Review
1. The classification or reclassification of any student for tuition purposes may, upon written request of the student, be
appealed. The written appeal must be filed with the Admissions and Records Officer within thirty (30) days after the
student is notified of the original classification, and must include reasons for the appeal and a complete statement of the
facts upon which the appeal is based. All supporting documents, affidavits or other evidence should be attached to the
written appeal. Failure to file such an appeal within the
specified time limit shall constitute a waiver to all claims of
reconsideration for that semester. The appeal may then be
filed for any subsequent semester.
b. Said persons must have maintained their permanent residence in the District by means of a continuous voting record
in the District, filing State income tax returns, and/or other
appropriate actions.
CHARGE-BACK PROGRAMS
The Public Community College Act provides that a student living in a public community college district which does not offer
the program of study (not individual courses) in which the student is interested may receive partial tuition support from the
community college district in which the student lives providing
the student receives approval from the community college district. Out-of-District students entering Kaskaskia College are reminded to make an early request to their home community college for this approval.
2. Consistent with the general intent and purpose of these regulations, the committee may uphold or reverse the decision of
the classifying official. The decision of the committee in all
cases shall be binding on the College and the student. Unresolved problems shall be referred to the Vice President of
Educational Services.
This authorization must be obtained for each academic year,
and should include the summer session for those who plan to attend.
INTERPRETATIVE GUIDELINES
Unemancipated Dependent
Student or Spouse
1. An unemancipated, dependent student, or dependent spouse
may qualify for Illinois In-District classification without
meeting the thirty (30) day requirement if his/her presence in
the District results from the establishment by parent,
guardian or spouse of their permanent residence in the Dis23

Current information regarding tuition and fees may be obtained
by contacting the Admissions Office at 618-545-3040 or on the
Kaskaskia College website at www.kc.cc.il.us.
A student enrolling in a class automatically assumes the responsibility of properly dropping the class(es) when the student decides not to attend or complete the course.
Out-of-District students may qualify for tuition on the same basis as In-District students if they present to the College, at such
time as required by the home community college district, a letter (charge-back) which states the district in which the student
resides agrees to pay the per capita cost, less the state apportionment and the tuition charged to the student.
A refund of tuition and fees cannot be made unless a student officially drops the class in the Office of Admissions and Records.
(Even if the student has not paid their fees, they will be charged
for the class if they do not officially drop it).
Refunds will be computed from the date that the written request
to be dropped from a class is received in the Office of Admissions and Records and will be based on the following schedule:
Students who enroll in any approved Joint Agreement program
are required to file a letter of Certification of Residency from
the student’s home district with the Dean of Career and Technical Education Office prior to enrollment, and may qualify for
tuition on the same basis as In-District students.

After the second week of classes, there will be no refund of tuition and fees. A first-time student who is a Title IV financial
aid recipient and withdraws from all classes may be subject to
the federal refund policy. For more information, contact the Financial Aid Office.
Students registering for each semester are required to pay a
minimum of 25% of the tuition and fees. Students who have not
paid the 25% minimum or do not have a financial aid deferral,

Understanding Financial Need
Ability-To-Benefit
Financial need is generally defined as the difference between
the cost of attending college and the amount that the student
and family can contribute. Students and parents have the primary responsibility of financing a student’s education to the extent they are able. College financial assistance should be
viewed as a supplemental to the effort of the family to assist
with college expenses.
Students who do not have a high school diploma or passing
scores on a GED must take an Ability to Benefit test which
demonstrates by a passing score that the student has the ability
to benefit from his/her program of study.
Family’s income alone does not determine how much aid the
student qualifies for. Other factors such as the size of the family and the number of children in college, are also important in
analyzing need.
The approved Ability to Benefit test shall be the ASSET Program Basic Skills Test (Reading, Writing, and Numerical Skills)
Form BD.
The Ability to Benefit test shall be administered by the
Kaskaskia College Counseling Department.
Approved passing scores:
Reading
Writing
Numerical Skills
Determining Financial Need
The family information you provide on the Free Application for
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is calculated by the federal government’s comprehensive formula, to determine the amount the
student and family can contribute. The amount that your family
is expected to contribute to educational costs is the expected
family contribution (EFC).
Types of Financial Aid
Federal Pell Grant
The Federal Pell Grant provides gift aid for students who
demonstrate financial need. The student must be enrolled in an
eligible certificate program or a two-year degree program.
Awards are based on need, your Expected Family Contribution
(EFC) calculated by the federal government, and your enrollment status. Students must file the Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA) to be considered for the grant. The Pell
grant will assist students with expenses such as tuition, fees,
books, and other educational expenses.
The expected family contribution is then subtracted from your
total cost of attendance which includes tuition, room and board,
estimates of personal expenses and transportation. The
remaining amount is your financial need, which becomes the
basis for the financial aid award.
Cost of AttendanceExpected Family Contribution =
Financial Need
An award letter listing your financial aid will be sent to you after your file has been completed and your financial need determined. New award letters are not automatically sent when
enrollment status changes.
Federal Supplemental Educational
Opportunities Grant (FSEOG)
All students who complete the FAFSA and have eligibility for a
Pell Grant may be considered for this gift aid. The awards are
based on need. Due to limited funds, priority is given to students with exceptional need who have completed their financial
aid file early.
Definition of Academic Year
All financial aid programs consist of one fall semester and one
spring semester, each including a minimum of 15 weeks of instruction. The summer semester ends the academic year and
has a minimum of seven weeks of instruction.
Illinois Student Assistance Commission
Monetary Award Program (MAP)
Fall, spring and summer semesters are each considered separate
payment periods for financial aid programs. Payment periods

Withdrawal from the College, withdrawal from participation in
the designated sport or activity for which scholarship was
granted, failure to meet the standards set forth, and/or failure to
meet academic requirements automatically voids the College’s
scholarship for the remainder of the academic year.

due to unsatisfactory academic progress. This appeal should
document any relevant circumstances wherein it can be shown
that the unsatisfactory progress was due to unforeseeable or extenuating circumstances - and that such progress is not indicative of the general pattern of grades or withdrawals previously

base your appeal. The Appeal Committee will review the appeal and you will be notified by mail of the decision. Appeal
forms are available from the Office of Financial Aid.

9. DESCRIPTION OF HEALTH RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH
USE OF ILLICIT DRUGS AND ABUSE OF ALCOHOL
There are severe health risks involved or associated with the use
of illicit drugs and the abuse of alcohol, and the College has reference materials available to any person who is concerned about
his/her use of illicit drugs or alcohol or involving the conduct of
any other person. These references are available by contacting
the Counseling Center. Health risks associated with
commonly used illicit drugs and alcohol are listed hereafter.
5. VOLUNTARY REHABILITATION - The College recognizes that it is part of the American landscape that people
have problems relating to the abuse of drugs or alcohol. The
College encourages students and employees to voluntarily
seek help in the event the student or employee is concerned
with the use of drugs or alcohol. The seeking of rehabilitation does not, in all cases, automatically excuse ongoing disciplinary actions or violation of rules that have previously
occurred, but may be used as a mitigating circumstance to
any disciplinary proceedings.
A. Marijuana. Marijuana, which is also known as pot and
comes from the cannabis plant, may have the following effects: it is harmful to unborn children during pregnancy, can
lead to high blood pressure, can lead to lung disease, can inhibit short-term memory, can slow reaction time, can impair
visual tracking, can speed up heartbeat and lead to high
blood pressure, can break down immune system or depress
immune system, and most important, frequent use is linked
to cognitive impairment (an inability to think abstractly and
understand concepts).
6. COUNSELING AND TREATMENT PROGRAMS
A. Campus Program
1. A prevention or referral program is conducted by the
Counseling Center and coordinated by a Counselor Specialist. Awareness activities are held and educational
materials are provided to students and employees.
B. Hallucinogens. The hallucinogens, drugs that produce
changes in perception, mood, and thought, include LSD,
mescaline, psilocybin, DMT., and STP. PCP, a dissociative
anesthetic, has similar effects. The effects of LSD are unpredictable and may range from euphoria and heightened sensory awareness to hallucinations, panic reactions, and flashbacks. PCP is a very dangerous drug that also has terribly
unpredictable effects involving development of psychotic
states or severe depression. Medical treatment is necessary
in cases of severe hallucinogen reactions.
2. Kaskaskia College health, first aid, psychology, and other
classes include instruction on the prevention and assistance for drug and alcohol abuse.
B. Treatment
Students and employees who need assistance for drug abuse
will be referred to the Community Resource Center or Hospital Programs for treatment. Contact may be made with
Counselor Specialists or appropriate Dean, who will make
expedient referrals.
C. Depressants, Barbiturates, and Tranquilizers. Depressants,
barbiturates and tranquilizers have depressing effects on the
central nervous system and can lead to physical and psychological dependence. These drugs are very popular and are
overused by Americans.
7. DISTRIBUTION OF PROGRAM INFORMATION
D. Cocaine. Cocaine is an ìupperî derived from the leaves of
the South American coca plant. It is an up-scale drug used
by people in many professions, despite its illegal status.
Regular use can lead to depression, weight loss, paranoia,
and hallucinations. These effects and the more positive ones
associated with cocaine are similar to those caused by amphetamines. Cocaine is a powerful drug that overstimulates
the central nervous system and produces an artificial euphoria. Even the occasional user takes dangerous chances, but
chronic use can create a harmful dependency that affects behavior and multiplies health risks. To make matters worse,
cocaine tricks people into feeling better than they are, making it possible for them to put on a “superhuman” exterior,
while inside they may be suffering.
A. Program information will be distributed to students during the fall semester in on-campus and off-campus classes. Program information will also be available in the
Counseling Center and in material racks.
B. Program information will be distributed to employees
during the fall semester with payroll. Program information will also be available in the Counseling Office and in
material racks, from the Dean, or the Vice President of
Educational Services.
8. FOR MORE INFORMATION
A. Students should contact the Counseling Center or a
College Dean.
B. Faculty members should contact the Vice President of
Educational Services.
E. Opiates. The opiates—opium, its derivatives (morphine,
heroin, and codeine), and the synthetically produced drug
methadone have sedative and analgesic effects. Heroin is the
56
opiate that is of most concern to law-enforcement officials.
Initially an extremely pleasant drug, heroin use quickly leads
to dependence and increasing larger quantities must be taken
simply to ward off withdrawal symptoms. The exposure orientation holds that addiction results simply from exposure to
the drug over time.
STUDENTS WITH CHRONIC
COMMUNICABLE DISEASES
Students with identified chronic communicable diseases may attend college whenever, through reasonable accommodation, the
risk of transmission of the disease and/or the risk of further
injury to the student is sufficiently remote in such setting so as
to be outweighed by the detrimental effects resulting from the
student’s exclusion from college. Placement decisions will
be made by using this standard in conjunction with current,
available public health department guidelines concerning the
particular disease in question. Individual cases will not be prejudged; rather, decisions will be made based upon the facts of
the particular case. The determination of whether a student
with a chronic communicable disease may attend college shall
be made in accordance with procedures implemented by the
College. Students with chronic communicable diseases shall
maintain all rights, privileges and services provided by law and
the policies of the college.
F. Amphetamines. Amphetamines are sometimes known as
speed or uppers and are prescribed by doctors to suppress appetite and relieve mild depression from time to time. For
people who have neurological and behavior disorders, they
can be harmful. But amphetamine abuse in a normal person
can lead to full-blown psychosis as well as to milder effects
such as insomnia, restlessness, irritability, difficulty in concentrating, and agitation and confusion.
G Alcohol. There are several typical patterns to alcohol abuse:
regular, daily use of large quantities; regular, heavy drinking
confined to such periods as weekends; and unpredictable
binge drinking. Alcohol abuse is often called problem drinking, whereas alcohol dependence is referred to as alcoholism.
The connection between alcohol and fatal road accidents
makes this drug one of, if not the, most dangerous drugs.
The College shall respect the right to privacy of any student
who has a chronic communicable disease. The student’s medical condition shall be disclosed only to the extent necessary to
minimize the health risks to the student and others. The number
of personnel aware of the student’s condition will be kept at the
minimum needed to assure proper care of the student and to detect situations in which the potential for transmission of the disease may increase. Persons deemed to have “a direct need to
know” will be provided with the appropriate information and
will be made aware of confidentiality requirements.
Drug and Alcohol Prevention and
Education Program for Students
Kaskaskia College is required, pursuant to a Federal Act called
Drug-Free School and Communities Act Amendment of 1989
which is Public Law 101-226 of the Higher Education Act, to
adopt and implement a drug and alcohol abuse prevention and
education program. The Board of Trustees of the College endorses this Act as well as the Drug-Free Work Place Act of
1988 and has adopted appropriate rules which apply to
Kaskaskia College.
The Kaskaskia College Student Drug and Alcohol Awareness
Task Force addresses the prevention, abuse, use of drugs and alcohol on campus. Students are invited and encouraged to become a member of the Task Force.
