Out-of-State Student Complaint Procedure

Students taking online classes at Kaskaskia College who are from out-of-state should attempt to resolve any issues or complaints with the college first through the Student Complaints Policy & Procedure.

If you are an online student and feel that your complaint has not been satisfactorily resolved through the KC Student Complaint Policy and Procedure, Illinois participates in the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA). Students from SARA states may file a complaint with the Illinois Community College Board.

Students are expected to possess the computer skills necessary to type papers, browse and search the Web, access college information, and communicate through e-mail. Beyond these basic expectations, Online, Proctored, and Hybrid sections offer alternatives to traditional faced-to-face classroom instruction.

Online Classes

In an online class, all of the instruction is provided online and no face-to-face classroom instruction is required.

Proctored

Students may be required to attend an orientation, attend labs, or take proctored exams on campus or at an approved location near the student; please refer to the course schedule for more information.

Hybrid Classes

A hybrid class is a combination of face-to-face classroom instruction and online instruction. A portion of the instruction is provided online, but some regular face-to-face instruction is still required. A minimum of 50% of the class is delivered face-to-face in a designated classroom environment.

Web-Enhanced Classes

In a Web-enhanced class, all of the instruction is provided in a face-to-face classroom setting. However, students are expected to regularly supplement their learning through the use of technology. Examples include sections with online assessments, homework, or discussions.
