Accepted Returning Student Checklist
View our “HOW TO” VIDEOS for info on how to do each of these steps
STEP DETAILS
Step 1
Review your acceptance letter and access your KMail
The acceptance letter you will receive in the postal mail will remind you of your student ID number, account access information and provides details about any documents you may need to turn in.
Please don’t wait to access your KMail! It is important that you can log in. Be sure to change your password. Plan to check your KMail often. Kirtland will send important information about your student account and finances to your KMail.
Step 2
Request transcripts
If you have attended college elsewhere since you last attended Kirtland, be sure to have an official copy of your transcript(s) sent directly to:
Office of Admissions
Kirtland Community College
4800 W 4 Mile Rd
Grayling, MI 49738
Electronic copies may be sent to [email protected].
Step 3
Completing FAFSA is how you get grants, loans or work study
Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). APPLY EARLY! It takes time to process.
Go to the how to apply for financial aid page for step-by-step instructions.
Kirtland’s Student Financial Services Department is always available to help. Call 989-275-5000, ext. 257 or email [email protected] for assistance.
Step 4
Proof of residency documentation
(only REQUIRED if you want to change your residency from out-of-district to in-district)
Acceptable proof includes: driver’s license, verifiable rent receipts (if rent receipts are not available, a notarized letter from the landlord will be accepted), a dated lease agreement, Voter Registration card, place of residence property tax receipt (if property is owned by student or student’s parent/guardian), or Secretary of State identification card. Verifiable rent receipts must contain all the following information: the address of the property being rented; the date of payment; signature, address and phone number of the landlord. These documents can be emailed to [email protected].
Step 5
Do you have placement in order that will enable you to register for classes?
Kirtland wants to match you with courses that are the best fit. In order to do that, we will need information from you. If we do not have one of the following, you may not be able to register for the courses you want/need.
1) SAT or ACT scores (taken within the last five years)
2) Transcripts from other colleges that show credit for English and/or Math
3) Official high school transcript or GED transcript
If you have not done so already, please request to have one or more of these items sent to Kirtland. Electronic copies can be sent to [email protected] or mailed copies can be sent to:
Admissions Office
Kirtland Community College
4800 W 4 Mile Rd
Grayling, MI 49738
Following the receipt of your transcripts, please call 989-275-5000, ext. 280, to schedule an advising appointment to register for classes.
