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. After the deferred period, payment will be due within five business days of registering for a class. Payment plans are available to help manage your payments. If a third party is covering your tuition, please check your account to ensure the payment has been processed and pay any remaining balance by the deadline.
☐ Student ID
You must be registered for classes and present a photo ID to obtain your Valley ID. Visit the Texas Township Campus Services Desk, Culinary Allied Health Building or Anna Whitten Hall to pick it up in person. Alternatively, request it via the MyValley portal to receive it by mail. The card is needed for services and required at Arcadia Commons Campus for parking validation and door access.
