Explanation Of Admission Requirements

Item 1:UH System Application Form (SAF)

If you are new to KCC or will return after being out a semester, you must fill out the System wide Application Form (SAF) List your major as: NAT

Item 2: Application for Selective Admission Program (ASAP)

This form is used to track your application. All students, whether new, transferring or continuing students must complete the ASAP form. List your Program Choice as NAT.

Item 3: Reading Ability

Use one of these two ways to meet the minimum math and reading requirements:

Option 1: Compass Placement Test - A Compass Placement Test score of 61 or credit in ENG 21 is required to get into the NA program.

• Obtain the Compass Placement Test form at the KISC Office, 'Ilima 102 or at the Testing Center in 'Iliahi 127.
• Take the Compass Placement Test Form and a photo ID with your social security number to 'Iliahi 127 (Testing Center).
• After completing the test, take a copy of your test results to the KISC Office in 'Ilima 202 and ask them to put it in your file. If you have not applied yet, hold the rest results and attach it to your Application form when you do.
• Placement Test deadline for this program is April 1 for Fall admission. Test scores from other campuses must be received by the K.C.C. KISC Office by that date.

  The Compass Placement Test can be taken every 120 days. If more than one test is taken, the highest score will be used. The Compass Test is not a timed test and you can take the Reading test on one day and the Math on another.
  Come prepared to stay awhile if you need the time. You may want to take one of the Brush Up reading classes before you take the placement test.

Option 2: Waiver of Placement Test by Course Completion (in lieu of testing)

If you took ENG 21 and earned a "C" or higher within the past 10 years, you do not need to take the Reading test.

If you took it at a campus other than KCC, request official transcripts from colleges other than KCC to be sent directly to the KISC Office in 'Ilima 102.

If there are any questions regarding the acceptability of the course, it is recommended that you take the tests rather than risk denial due to inadequate course work taken elsewhere.
