must demonstrate the ability to do college level work by: a) submitting a
transcript showing satisfactory high school grades while they were enrolled, b)
submitting satisfactory standardized test scores (for example: ACT, SAT, or TABE),
or c) having a personal interview with the admissions counselor and/or relevant
faculty and successfully passing pre-admission tests in math, reading and writing.
When admitted, Ability to Benefit students will take the ACT ASSET test to ensure
accurate placement in their courses and determine whether tutoring will be advised.
Students admitted under the Ability to Benefit program who enroll in a degree program must qualify for regular admission before achieving sophomore status by completing a high school diploma or GED. Senior citizens, 55 years or older, will have the diploma requirement waived if they maintain a 2.0 GPA or better in their first 24 credits of college courses.
Guest Student :
Students who are enrolled in good standing at another college or university and
are eligible to return to that college or university but wish to earn credit from
Keweenaw Bay Ojibwa Community College may apply to take course work as guest students.
The following stipulations must be met for admission as a guest student:
- Students must submit a guest student application (available from their home institution) to the Admissions Office. Transcripts from the home institution are not required.
- Guest students may not register as degree candidates at Keweenaw Bay Ojibwa Community College.
- Guest students must have their Keweenaw Bay Ojibwa Community College course selections approved in advance by the registrar of their home institutions.
- Guest students must arrange to have any credit earned as guest students sent from Keweenaw Bay Ojibwa Community College to their home institutions.
Financial aid for guest students will be available from their home institutions. The student will be responsible for payment to KBOCC.

High school juniors or seniors with a "B" average (3.0 on a 4.0 scale)
or better may enroll in up to three courses totaling no more than 8 credits
per semester upon the recommendation of their high school counselor and
subject-area teacher. Applicants should submit an application for advanced
secondary enrollment to the Admissions Office.
PLACEMENT TESTING
All newly admitted students must
schedule and complete placement testing in math and English. The
results of the placement tests are used for advising purposes only
and will not affect admission status. Placement tests can be
scheduled by contacting the admissions office.
Open registration for incoming and continuing
students is held just prior to the beginning of the semester (see
published calendar ). In order to register, students must complete
the following steps:
1. Admissions file.
2. Placement testing.
3. Financial aid applications and payment arrangements if required.
4. Course registration card.
Late Registration :
Students may register through the second week of the
semester with instructor and advisor approval. Late registrants
are responsible for making up any missed course work and must
pay the late registration fee of $25.00.
Adding Courses:
Students may add courses through the end of the second
week of the semester with the approval of the instructor
and advisor. An official drop/add form must be submitted
to the Enrollment Coordinator’s Office.
Course Audit
Students wishing to audit a course must complete the
registration card and application form and pay the
audit fee. Students taking a course for credit will have
priority over students auditing a course if classroom
space is limited.
Dropping Courses:
Students may drop courses through the second week of the
semester without a transcript notation by completing a drop/add
form and submitting it to the Registrar's Office.
Repeated Courses:
Students registering to repeat a previously attempted
course for which they received a grade must submit a Repeat
Course Form at the time of registration. The first grade
earned will be converted to an “R”, and the second grade will
be recorded on the permanent transcript regardless of which
grade is higher. No prerequisite course may be repeated
if a more advanced course has been completed with a grade
of “C” or better.
Withdrawal From Courses:
Students may withdraw from classes after the
second week and before the final week of the semester
by completing a withdrawal form, having it signed by the
instructor and advisor, and submitting it to the Enrollment
Coordinator’s Office. Courses that students have withdrawn
from will appear on their grade reports and transcripts
with a “W” grade.
Tuition and fees are assessed on the number of credits for which students are enrolled at the end of the second week of the semester. Withdrawing from a course after the second week will not result in a tuition reduction.
Administrative Withdrawal
Administrative withdrawal is the termination of a student’s
enrollment in a course by the College. It is used to correct
registration errors, to assist students who are seriously ill
or otherwise unable to carry out a normal withdrawal, for
nonpayment of tuition and fees, or for disciplinary reasons.
Student actions that might lead to administrative withdrawal
include plagiarism, persistent disruption of classes, harassment,
violence, or copying of another student’s work.
Students who do not attend classes in the first two weeks will be automatically withdrawn.
All student accounts are payable at the time of
registration. Tuition charges are assessed as full-time (12 credits
minimum), three-quarter time (9-11 credits), half-time (6-8
credits), or per credit hour. Student fees are in addition to
tuition expenses. Fees for community enrichment classes and
workshops are established independently.
Tuition and fees will be assessed based on the number of credits
for which the student is enrolled on the tenth business day of the
semester. There will be no tuition reduction for courses dropped
after that date, except in medical emergencies substantiated by a
physician's statement.
