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:

 |
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

take your test before the instructor's due date. Please abide by this rule
to ensure your spot at the testing center!
