General

Kilgore College students enrolled in VCT courses provided by other institutions are subject to the policies and procedures at Kilgore College.  These are available in the printed catalog and appropriate semester schedule.  This information is also available online at:  http://www.kilgore.edu/sitemap.asp?Landing=412

Registration

Once you have been registered in a VCT class, you will receive a VCT Reservation email from the Kilgore College VCT Registration Coordinator.  This email will include your course details, instructor's name, textbook list, etc., as well as the steps to complete your registration (also listed below).  Please read the email carefully and print it out for future reference.  This should explain everything you need to know to get started in your class, but if you have any additional questions, please contact the KC VCT Registration Coordinator.

Tuition and fees

Your VCT class must be entered into the Kilgore College system before you can pay your tuition and fees.  This may happen immediately following your reservation or it may take 1-2 days.  You can view your schedule by accessing your Campus Connect account to see if your VCT class has been added.  Once your class has been added, you will need to pay your tuition and fees by the deadlines indicated in the current semester’s schedule.  If you are registering during EARLY REGISTRATION, your tuition and fees are due by the EARLY REGISTRATION payment deadline listed in the semester schedule.  Some VCT classes do not have the same semester schedule as Kilgore College classes, so it is a good idea to pay your tuition and fees before the first class day, if you are already past the early registration payment deadline.  Late fees will begin to apply on the first class day.  If you are unsure of your payment deadline, please contact the KC VCT Coordinator.  You may pay your tuition and fees on Campus Connect or contact the Cashier’s Office at 903-983-8108.  If you have financial aid, please contact the Financial Aid Office at 903-983-8211 to ensure you have completed all paperwork required for the semester.  Once your VCT reservation is made, you are subject to a $15 per class non-refundable VCT administration fee.

Textbooks

You have several options for ordering your textbooks:

 

(1) Order them directly from the provider college (instructor’s college), or

(2) Order from a textbook website, such as Amazon, or

(3) Have the Kilgore College Bookstore order the textbook (to use your financial aid)

 

If you would like the KC Bookstore to order your textbook, you must send an email request to Micah Ruddell: mruddell@kilgore.edu.  The KC Bookstore will NOT order your textbook unless you specifically make a request by email.  (Please include your name, student id, course id and provider college in your email!)  If your book is ordered and you do NOT pick up the book, you are subject to a $20 per book non-refundable order fee, which is applied to the purchase price of the book. 

 

Caution: It may take the KC Bookstore up to 10 days to receive your textbook and they may not be able to obtain all materials needed for your course, such as videos, software, etc.  If you have any questions or concerns, Micah Ruddell can assist you by email or phone (903-983-8278).

Getting started in your course

Login and/or special instructions will be listed in the VCT Reservation email you receive from the KC VCT Coordinator.  If there is no login information, you will need to email your instructor and simply inform him/her that you are a Kilgore College student enrolled in their class. Once you have contacted your instructor, you will receive orientation materials, passwords, syllabus information, etc. directly from him/her.  Orientation for your VCT class will be provided by your instructor.  Beginning with the Summer 2006 semester, your NEW Student ID will be entered into the VCT database, instead of your Social Security Number. If your provider college (instructor's college) uses your Social Security Number or a combination of it to log into WebCT or Blackboard, it will NOT be your Social Security Number, it will be your new Student ID. You can find your new 9-digit Student ID on the Demographic Data page of your Campus Connect account. Please record this number in a safe place and keep it for future reference. Use of Social Security Numbers to access Campus Connect will be discontinued October 1, 2006, in an effort to protect your privacy.

Testing

The Kilgore College Testing Center handles any onsite testing that may be necessary for your VCT class.  The testing information for your VCT class will be forwarded from the provider college to Melonie Bonner, KC Testing Manager. 

 

Important KC Testing Center Guidelines:

(1) All testing is by appointment only

(2) All appointments must be made 24 hours in advance

 

If you do not make an appointment at least 24 hours in advance, there is a chance you may not be able to take your test before the instructor's due date.  Please abide by this rule to ensure your spot at the testing center!
