Open Door Policy


Admission to Kishwaukee College is open to all in-district residents of Community College District 523 who are high school graduates or have the equivalent High School Equivalency (HSE) Certificate or non-graduates who will be 18 years of age or older during their first semester of enrollment. For age requirements to enroll in High School Equivalency (HSE) Certificate preparation courses and testing, contact the Adult Education office.

Admission is also open to out-of-district, out-of-state, and residents of foreign countries. However, there may be some program restrictions, differential tuition charges, and/or special admission requirements.

Kishwaukee College reserves the right to restrict students’ admission to those courses in which their success seems most probable as indicated by their high school record, transcripts from other educational institutions attended, test results, work experiences, and college counseling interviews. Those students who do not have an adequate background to take the courses of their choice may have the opportunity to take special courses to prepare them for more advanced course work.

Admission to Kishwaukee College does not guarantee enrollment in any specific program of instruction.
