It's hit or miss with the staff. I'm transferring about 60 credits in from elsewhere and just needed residential credits to graduate. I've been trying to get a degree audit since I started in March. I took 6 credits in the spring, am taking 3 now and 6 more in the fall. I can't get an answer as to whether I'm in need of any credits in any areas to graduate. I never had this problem at any school. When I asked for an audit, they told me, "You just completed your first semester with us. Transfer credits are posted after the students complete a semester with us. Look for those to show this Summer or next Fall." I already completed a semester. I'm on my last 2 classes. This should've been done by now. This is how people waste thousands of dollars on classes they don't need while still coming up short for their program. It's a bad policy, and they shouldn't do that.

Update: I'm about 3 weeks from graduating. Taking classes on campus rather than online makes a huge difference in satisfaction levels. I'm changing my star rating because the teachers are pretty good. I'm still a little annoyed with how unresponsive the staff was while trying to get info together for my last semester of college, but it worked out. Three more weeks of class, and I'm blowing this popsicle stand.

Best classes: camping, philosophy, anthropology

The bookstore staff is nice, but do your own research online for possibly...

Horrible school period. It is very run down, has bare minimum resources for students. The hallways are dirty and has no seats available. They don't even have a computer room and oh man their classes are very outdated . The school is expensive for it being a community college, the area, and the shape its on.The staff are a joke they are useless, rude and unprofessional to say the least. This school will give you the run around from one office to the next. They don't have their ducks in a row that's for sure. The financial aid office is just horrible, they always need this and that and can't seem to get things correct and then you still end up having to pay out of pocket for some of your tuition...ridiculous. There is no "dean" on campus so when and yes I said when because there will be some kind of problem you cannot go and talk to him/her about it. You have to get the secretaries number and leave a message...really defeats the purpose. I would not recommend this joke of a school to NO ONE!!!!! You can go to Johnson County Community College and it's WAY BETTER! Seriously people this is a HORRIBLE school. Just DON"T do it. BTW ONLY GAVE IT 1 STAR BECAUSE I HAD TO OR I COULDN'T POST...But I wouldn't even give it that 1...

We have had 3 daughters graduate from KCKCC and they loved almost all of the teachers.*

One of our daughters received 2 degrees, another went on to a 4 year college. It is an affordable way to get the first two years completed, before going to a 4 year college. Or get an associates degree.

Two of our daughters took the Digital Imaging courses and loved them. Tom Besgrove is admired by both of them.

Check with the 4 year college of your choice on what courses they will accept from KCKCC however. Some colleges will accept all of them. Some will only accept some of them.

*(Except for the Women Only Motorcycle Training Course taught by Teresa, all other instructors for the Co-Ed Motorcycle course were very nice to our daughter when she was taking it and came over and helped when they could, but Teresa was a bully. If debating on whether to take the Women Only because you think it will be a gentler, more patient instructor, you would be wrong like we were. The Coed instructors were kind and patient. We did email the President and she called my daughter the next day and made it right. We are very happy with...
