Apply to Kish

Send your official high school or college transcripts to Kishwaukee College. Transcripts help determine course placement and ensure you get credit for any previous college-level work. Submit official transcripts to transcripts@kish.edu.

• Kish determines placement based on previous college coursework, advanced placement scores, College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) scores, ACT/SAT scores or high school grade-point average (GPA).
• All test scores and GPAs must be from the past three years. Visit edu/placement for the criteria.
• Students who do not meet the criteria for a waiver can schedule a placement exam by contacting Student Services at onestop@kish.edu or 815-825-9375.
