Guest Student
Enrollment Checklist
☐ Admission
Complete an online Kalamazoo Valley application. Be sure to identify yourself as a Guest student and indicate your program is unclassified so we know you are not seeking a degree. While we accept the Michigan Uniform Undergraduate Guest application, it is not necessary and our application is easier. You will receive an acceptance letter within one week.
☐ Consultation
We strongly suggest that you consult with your current college or university to ensure that the classes you take at Kalamazoo Valley will be accepted as transfer credits. Our counselors are available to guide you. Your current institution, however, determines what will be accepted as transfer credit.
☐ Registration
Register for classes online in My Valley or by coming on campus during posted registration hours. Registration begins in March for summer, in April for fall, and October for winter and continues through the start of classes.
As a Guest student you will be given a waiver for all prerequisites and/or reading, writing, and math test scores to complete up to 15 credit hours. Faculty may require you to verify compliance to course prerequisites and/or test scores to remain in a course.
☐ Payment
Tuition bills are available online in MyValley. Pay for your classes online, on campus, or by mail during deferred payment periods. Payment plan options are available. If a third-party is paying, check your account to make sure your payment is in place and pay any remaining balance by the deadline.
☐ Student ID
Stop by or schedule an appointment to pick up your ID at the Student Service Center. You will need to present a photo ID to verify your identity. You may also request a Valley ID in the My Valley portal and receive it in the mail. A card is needed to use many services and is required at the Arcadia Commons Campus for parking validation and door access.
☐ Transfer
Once you have completed your course(s) at Kalamazoo Valley, be sure to submit a request to have an official transcript sent to your primary institution.
