Kankakee Community College SAT Scores, ACT Scores, Acceptance Rate, and Admissions Requirements

SAT RangeN/A
ACT RangeN/A
Average GPA2.90
Acceptance Rate63.1%

KCC’s 63% acceptance rate and 2.90 average GPA suggest admission is within reach for many students, but the 57% freshman retention rate makes preparation matter. Since KCC is test-optional, submit scores if they add strength, and focus just as much on building the study habits and course plan that keep you on track.

Take tests early for the best outcomes

Because KCC is test-optional, use this timeline only if you plan to submit scores: take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year, then save the summer before senior year and the fall for retakes if superscoring could help. KCC does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, so the last useful fall retake is the one whose scores will arrive before its Regular Decision deadline; do not use the June 1 financial aid priority deadline to plan testing.
