Cooperative programs are offered as an option for KCC district residents to attend other community colleges without paying an out-of-district tuition rate.

Cooperative programs are offered through two types of partnerships. The first is a comprehensive agreement where district residents can enroll in any program not offered at KCC at the cooperating college without paying out-of-district rate. The second type of agreement includes only specified programs at the cooperating community colleges.

Degrees or certificates for all cooperative programs are awarded by the cooperative college. Contact Student Services at KCC, (815) 802-8500, for information regarding these agreements and before enrolling at the cooperating college.
