What's Next? After Application
1. Apply. 2. Placement Exams. Kirkwood uses exam results to determine your placement in reading, writing and math courses. Submit current ACT scores or take COMPASS, the free Kirkwood placement test. Call 319-398-5456 or the Kirkwood county center near you for testing times. (Note: COMPASS testing is not available at the Kirkwood Lincoln Center, Iowa City high school and continuing ed). Math scores are valid for two years; reading and writing scores remain valid for three years. If you have completed a college level math or English course at another school, please forward your transcript to the Records Evaluator, located in the Student Development office. 3. Financial Aid. Obtain and submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible after January 1. Please start early — the financial aid process takes three to five months. For more information, go directly to our Financial Aid Web site. 4. Scholarships. Most scholarship applications are accepted from October 1 through March 31. More than a million dollars in scholarship awards is available to all Kirkwood students. 5. Housing. Need a place to live? Get housing lined up now. Contact the Housing office at 319-398-7647. In addition, the TGIF To Get Information Fast campus visits include time to tour available housing options. 6. Ask Anything at TGIF. (High School Juniors and Seniors) To Get Information Fast. On select Friday and Saturday mornings, Kirkwood holds TGIF events to answer your questions about college life, transfers, financial aid and more. Bring your friends and family for lots of Q&A time with students and staff, program information, tours of campus and housing and free lunch. Ask us why at TGIF. Sign up and visit. TGIF is typically for junior and senior high school students and their parents.
