Admissions

Admissions at Kankakee Community College

Programs here admit roughly 63% of applicants. Moderately Competitive.

• No explicit acceptance or admission rate (%) for the nursing (Registered Nursing – ADN) program was published on KCC’s official site. The general college-wide acceptance rate is notably open/admission-based, but there's no program-specific figure.

Format

Schedule and format at Kankakee Community College

• Delivery format (online vs. hybrid vs. on‑campus) for nursing-specific courses is not detailed on the RN program or catalog pages. See general definitions for online/hybrid delivery, but nursing program format specifics are unclear.
• KCC’s general definitions:
• Online courses: All content/instruction is delivered online via Canvas, with regular, substantive interaction; students may not need to visit campus except possibly for proctored tests.
• Hybrid courses: Combine face-to-face and online instruction; portion delivered in classroom, portion online via Canvas.
• Asynchronous vs. synchronous: Not explicitly detailed for nursing courses. General online/hybrid descriptions note that online courses include substantive interaction and course schedules/deadlines set by instructor; whether interactions are synchronous or asynchronous is not specified.
• Evening, weekend, or multiple cohort start options: Not mentioned for nursing programs. The RN program catalog shows a Fall-entry sequence and suggests application/testing deadlines for Fall 2026 and Spring 2027 starts, implying at least two cohort starts per year.
• Transfer credit or advanced‑standing policies:
• Licensed practical nurses (LPNs) may receive advanced placement in the Registered Nursing AAS program. ([catalog.k
