Returning Student
If you started your educational journey at Kalamazoo Valley or another institution and left before finishing your degree, we're excited to have you back. It's never too late to earn your degree!
Record Update
If you attended Kalamazoo Valley in the past two years, your account is still active. You will only need to submit a Personal Information Update form if you have moved or changed your name since last attending. Complete an application online if you have not attended in the past two years. This will update your information and reactivate your account. You must have your record updated before proceeding to the next step.
Financial Aid
If you are pursuing a degree or certificate and plan to apply for financial aid, it is important that you complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at www.fafsa.gov as soon as possible to start the financial aid process for the appropriate award year. Kalamazoo Valley’s federal school code is 006949. Financial aid options include grants, scholarships, work opportunities and loans for qualified students. If you received aid before, be sure to log into MyValley to check your status and consult with an advisor.
