STEP DETAILS

Step 1

Review your acceptance letter and access your KMail

The acceptance letter you received in the postal mail reminds you of your student ID, account access information and gives details about documents you 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’ve been to 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 Road
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’s registration card, place of residence property tax receipt, 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]. 

View the Kirtland Community College residency policy.

Step 5

Do you have placement in order that will enable you to register for classes?

Kirtland wants to make sure we are able to match you with the course that is 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 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:
