If you need assistance with classes, please contact the Retention Office. We can assist you with tutoring, referrals, personal appointments, and workshops.

Core Values: Kaskaskia College has adopted a set of positive core values that we feel will contribute to making your educational experience with us enjoyable and rewarding: RESPECT; RESPONSIBILITY; HONESTY; COMPASSION; FAIRNESS.

Appropriate referrals to inside or outside agencies are offered. We want to assist you with accomplishing your goals in every way possible.

KASKASKIA COLLEGE FACULTY: Do you have a student at risk for failing, or having academic difficulties? The Retention Office wants to know who needs help.

Faculty can email a student's name and in what class they are having difficulty to the Retention Office. Early identification and early intervention improve the odds of success. Poor attendance, poor test performance, turning in poor writing assignments, and/or not completing homework may put a student at risk of not completing a course.

Inform the Retention Office about these students. Email the student's information to the Retention Office, and we will contact them to offer assistance.
