Every year the West Des Moines Public Library does an awesome job putting together a resource on where to find all the information you need about tax forms for both federal and Iowa taxes. The only things that are really different here at Kirkwood is we do NOT carry ANY paper tax forms and do NOT keep masters at either Kirkwood library branch.
If you have a tax form you need from Kirkwood Community College, it will be available on MyHub under MyBill, but before it will show up you’ll have to fill out the consent form saying you agree to them making it available electronically. If you don’t electronically give consent via the tax form will be mailed to you as a paper copy.
General Tax Forms, Iowa and Federal
NOTE:Neither the IRS nor the State of Iowa has all of their forms out until as late as February – make sure you check that you’re using the correct year’s form!
For 2019 filing (2018 taxes): Due to the Federal Shutdown and the tax code changes enacted last year, we expect the 2018 tax filing (in 2019) to be significantly delayed, including the creation of less-used forms and instructions. Please plan accordingly. If what you need isn’t shown, check back soon.
The Iowa Department of Revenue has done away with the Iowa Short Form. Both individual tax payers and corporations now have to use what was previously referred to as the long form.
Direct deposit of tax refunds is no long available if you file Iowa state paper tax returns. They ARE available if you file electronically.
Kirkwood Accounting student volunteers will again be assisting students, staff, faculty and the community with tax preparation. The 2020 Kirkwood VITA site will be open to give Assistance will be given for 2019 federal and Iowa tax returns to qualified taxpayers from Monday, Feb. 3 through Wednesday, April 15 on the Cedar Rapids main campus in 127 Nielsen Hall. This is a free service sponsored by the IRS and Kirkwood. Appointments are required. Email VITA@kirkwood.edu or leave a voice message at ext. 4521.
The hours are:
Mondays from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm
Wednesdays 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm
Fridays from 10:30 am to 1:30 pm
The VITA office will be closed for spring break March 16 – 20.
Kirkwood VITA does NOT complete complicated returns that include self-employment income, extensive tax credits, stock sales, non-resident returns or other tax issues that require major documentation or tax research.
If you have any questions, please stop by 1154 Linn Hall, for assistance.

Here is a collection of information of things on the Kirkwood Community College Campuses that you should know about!
You have to learn to speak the language of college, but you don’t have to start out knowing it. Check out these tips. Find a more in-depth list of college terms courtesy of the University of Georgia. Some of the things in the Georgia PDF are specific to that school, but the majority of the terms fit any college.
Experiment with a different browser to start the school year. It’s helpful to have more than one on your computer, especially when trouble shooting.
Get hung up on certain words than/then, effect/affect, insure/assure/ensure? Get the run down here. (Scroll down past the ad.), And here whose/who’s.
Important Kirkwood Updates
This January Kirkwood’s Iowa Hall will close down for construction until Fall 2022. The library will have more seating to make up for meeting room/cafeteria space that won’t be available until after the remodeling is finished. Catch up on all the renovation news what’s closed, what’s open, and when at: https://www.kirkwood.edu/renovations
Lots of offices have moved, also. Whether they were in Iowa Hall or had to move to make room for somebody else. Here is the list:
Also Eaglenet is basically no more – find all that information on My Hub.
Apartments
Be aware that the apartments surrounding Kirkwood are NOT part of the Kirkwood campus. Make sure to have your emergency contact for your building management. Ask for both the business hours and AFTER hours phone number in case something happens in the middle of the night or on weekends. If there is a safety issue, please call 911 or the Cedar Rapids police department.
App
Kirkwood has an app you should be sure to download. Find instructions on where to find it.
To add a course, if the class has not met yet, students can call One Stop 319-398-7600. For any class that has met, students will need to fill out a form. Get the form from the department of the class’ office and ask them about the particular class. For the first week you just need the instructor’s signature. The following week you also need the Dean’s.
Students may drop classes through Eaglenet until the last day set on the academic calendar each semester. To check for the important dates for any particular class double check here.
Kirkwood no longer gives a full refund to students who both drop a class and add a class in the second week of classes. This is sometimes called the second week “wash” or “tuition swap” – Kirkwood refunds 50% for all drops in the second week for 16-week classes. Find full Refund Policy.
Advice
The Kirkwood Library Blog offers lists of interesting and helpful books. Each Fall we put out a new list of books that might be helpful to college students. Here’s this year’s list.
Adviser
Don’t know who your adviser is? Log into My Hub, click on “Education” on the left hand column, look for the box on the right hand side labeled “My Advising” and click on “View My Advisers”. Note you have to click on the hyperlink at the bottom, just clicking anywhere in the box won’t work.
Set up an appointment to talk to them about your schedule and your overall path through your program. Contact the Advising and Transfer Center at 319-398-5540. Find answers to basic questions about class scheduling type issues here.
Alcohol and Drugs
Alcohol is never allowed on campus without special written permission. Check out our alcohol and drug policy.
ATM
Currently there is no ATM on the Cedar Rapids campus. The US Bank location is also closed. On the Iowa City campus there is ATM available next to the One Stop Office.
Find a list of your list of textbooks you need for all your classes.
To find your list of textbooks:
1. Go to http://www.kirkwood.edu/booklist
2. It will pop up with a screen asking you to log in with your k-number and password
3. This will generate a list for all your classes. They are very brief entries but will give you an abbreviated title, ISBN, and which class it’s for.
Book Club
Share your love of books and reading with other student readers. Read what you like. Share your thoughts. Make and take reading recommendations. Each semester we will decide on additional activities and determine if we want to focus on any reading themes. Contact club adviser Julie Petersen, julie.petersen@kirkwood.edu.
Book Return – Library
On the Cedar Rapids campus you can return books you’ve checked out in the drop at the circulation desk, the slot right outside the library doors, and the outside bookdrop. You can find the outside bookdrop right here.
At the Iowa City branch return books at the desk and in the library book return box (a large black box) across from the library doors. There is also a book return box available in the parking lot.
You can return books at the office at any of the centers.
Books and Articles The Library Doesn’t Own
The library doesn’t collect textbooks (scroll to textbooks below), but for any other type of book we’ll be glad to try to help you get a copy either by buying it or by borrowing a copy from another library. This is also true for articles we don’t have in full text. Borrowing from another library is called InterLibrary Loan.
Bus Passesfor Free
A partnership between the Cedar Rapids Transit System and Kirkwood will allow all students to ride any of the Cedar Rapids bus routes for free. Previously a sticker was required, but it no longer is.
If you’re waiting for a Cedar Rapids bus and wonder where it’s at, simply go to Ridecrt.com. Through an interactive map, click on the route number and an arrow will show exactly which street or intersection your bus is at and watch an arrow representing the bus as it moves along down the street. Remember the routes that come to Kirkwood are 7 and 7a.
Here is the map and the route schedule. The routes in use are the ones established July 1, 2017. They haven’t changed this year.
Calendar
Find the calendars with important dates, which days school will be closed, and final exam schedule here: http://www.kirkwood.edu/calendar
Campus Health Replacement/Medical Help
The previous campus health department is now closed. Previous services such as the food bank and other basic needs give aways are now located in 2092 Cedar Hall during the renovations. Contact Mialisa Wright for more information: 319-398-5540.
Mercy has a clinic next to the Kirkwood Hotel and the Kirkwood administration is working to maintain Kirkwood’s support for student health. MercyCare Prairie Creek is located across from campus, just east of The Hotel at Kirkwood Center at 777 76th Avenue Drive SW. They take walk-ins, but what they mean by walk-in is if they have an available slot they will fit you in when they can. They don’t promise to have a slot available. Be prepared to wait. They recommend calling ahead of time 319-558-0355 or using their schedule page to set up a specific time before you go. They do NOT function as an emergency room. This lists the nearest Emergency Rooms.

However, if you have trouble finding it go to http://selfservice.kirkwood.edu, log in with your k-number and password and find your grades on your unofficial transcript listed there.
Due to the Iowa Hall remodel currently there is only one cafe location on campus it’s in the lobby area of Linn Hall. Their normal hours are Monday-Thursday 7:30am-6:00pm and Friday 7:30am-2pm.
They are mostly cold items (sandwiches, salads, etc.), but on Tuesday and Thursday they have hot food from 10:45am-1:30pm or until they run out. They do one main dish every time on a schedule. It’s $7 for the meal plus water or pop (not fountain). If there is a big demand it might expand to more days. There is also a limited selection available at the Kirkwood bookstore of cold items, etc. There are also vending machines around campus with a variety of snacks and beverages.

Kirkwood supports new mothers with designated lactation rooms. The ones in Cedar Rapids are in Cedar Hall Room 226, Linn Hall Room 2104, and KLIFE (Continuing Ed Building/Lifelong Learning) Room-404. Sign-up sheets are available in the room. If you have questions, please contact Human Resources.
The lactation room in Iowa City is located by the One Stop Office, Iowa City Room – 125C. There is also one at the Linn Regional Center, Room 306.
Late Registration Policy
The last day to register on EagleNet for a class is the day before it starts. Once a class starts, you’ll need faculty and possibly dean signatures to add it. If you have any doubts or questions about your schedule, don’t wait to talk to your adviser – make an appointment today! If an instructor signs a Late Registration form to let you into their class, your next stop is not One Stop. It’s the department office staff, who will process the form. Scroll up to Add-Drop for more information.
Don’t know who your adviser is? Scroll up to Advisers above.
Library Textbook Policy
The library policy is to NOT purchase textbooks. This is because given the wide range of titles used by different instructors even within a single class, the cost would be prohibitive to provide them all. If any instructor or the department wants to loan us a copy of the textbook they use, we will be glad to put it on reserve. Textbooks are on reserve for use within the library, but photocopies can be made. Feel free to ask your instructor if they haven’t yet put a copy on reserve.
Lost and Found – Now in the security office, Room 126B Facility Building (5C on the campus map). Scroll to security below.
Map – Scroll up to campus map
Microsoft Office
Do you know that as a Kirkwood student you’re entitled to a free download of Microsoft 365? This is a stripped down version of Office, but should work for any assignment you get a Kirkwood. Follow the step by step directions. Particularly note the form they want for the e-mail.
As part of your student e-mail account you have access to the cloud based version of Microsoft Office and One Drive. Ask at the reference Desk for help.
MyHub
MyHub is the replacement for Eaglenet. It’s still in flux so what’s available and where it’s located on the page will probably change. Ask for help at the student help desk, 398-7624 if you’re having trouble finding something.
New Student Orientation
Orientation is mandatory for all new students and is offered on several dates prior to the start of the term. During orientation, you’ll work with academic advisers, current students and professional staff members to get ready for your transition to Kirkwood Community College. At orientation students will:
meet with academic advisers to learn about your core classes, degree requirements in programs you’re considering and course selections for the semester
talk with Kirkwood faculty members about academic expectations learn about student involvement, financial aid, campus technology, community expectations, and other aspects of the social and academic environment at Kirkwood
Want to be notified when the library gets something new? Sign up or check back at the link.
Notebook and Graph Paper
Sometimes classes will require special paper (printed with a particular design) for assignments. Notebook paper and regular graph paper are the most common of these. You can buy a package at the Bookstore or other retailer, but if you just need a page or two or something really custom you can print your own.
Notary Public
A notary is sometimes needed for legal documents confirming you’ve proved you are who you say you are. Notaries are available around campus. Contact Human Resources for a current list. (Staff members can access this list under KIN.)
Old Class Descriptions
If you need an old class description to show someone to see whether they would be willing to accept a class or not for some purpose, find it here: http://www.kirkwood.edu/catalogarchive
One Stop
The One Stop office manages general student business including, but not limited to, financial aid status, graduation inquiries, transcript requests, course or enrollment verification, diploma ordering or information on deferment. The One Stop office is located at Kirkwood Hall 2nd floor. It has NOT moved with the remodel.
DIRECTIONS: Driving from Kirkwood Boulevard, enter the south entrance to campus and take the first left. Drive toward the buildings and Kirkwood Hall, which is to the north of the parking lots. Walk to Kirkwood Hall. There is a door right under where the joins Kirkwood Hall. The One Stop office is on the second floor, the first office on the right. For specific questions, please contact the One Stop office at 319-398-7600. Be aware at the beginning of the semester the call volume means there are often long waits before they can take your call.
Parking Permits and Parking and Traffic Tickets
Students are NOT required to get parking permits to park on Kirkwood lots, but ARE required to follow basic parking rules such as parking in designated areas only. If you get a Kirkwood parking ticket, pay at the Cashier’s Office in One Stop.
Breaking city laws, for example parking in handicap spots without a handicap permit, can get you a regular parking ticket from the city where regular fines apply.
Password Reset
Access this self-service web page to establish or change your K-number password. For more information. You can log on to change your password from any machine that you don’t have to use your Kirkwood ID to log on or off campus.
Plagiarism
Plagiarism, claiming someone else’s work as your own by failure to cite a source or outright copying, is a major violation of Kirkwood Community College policies. Students who plagiarize will face disciplinary action.
There will be a prayer/reflection room available from 12pm – 2pm Monday – Friday, Room 3043 Cedar Hall. This service is available to all students. You may visit the International Programs office 1154 Linn Hall on the Cedar Rapids Main campus if you have any questions. This will be the room from now through the rest of the semester.
Printing and Student Print Quota
There are various places around campus where students can print. The two main ones are the library and the computer lab at both campuses. (In Iowa City they are now in the same room.) Both have black and white and color printers. Scroll up to Color Printing for details.
Registered students are given a $36 print/copy ration of play money per semester. This is a way to ration printing and is NOT real money either from the college or from any fee students pay. It could as easily be known as points or coupons, etc. As students print or copy, 5 cents will be deducted for each black and white page, and 10 cents will be deducted for each color page. Access this page to check your current balance.
AGAIN this is NOT from any real money fee or any money payment made by either the student or the college. NO charge for $36 was added to your tuition bill. NO unused portion of the ration will be given to you as cash. You can NOT spend it anywhere on campus for anything other than copies or prints.
The balance means balance like a checkbook or savings account, not balance like a credit card. Meaning it isn’t saying that you owe money when it shows a balance, it’s showing what you have to use yet.
Most students don’t use their entire ration during a semester. If you haven’t used all of yours it will be carried forward to the next semester. At the end of the summer everyone’s balance is wiped out and you start again with $36, but don’t worry about that, remember that it isn’t real money.
If you use all $36 during the semester and need more, you CAN put real money on the card and that won’t disappear at the reset. However, it is not refundable. Check out this site find out your current balance, add real money to your account (which will never vanish, like the play money ration does), or to dispute a print charge. It’s easy to remember the website it’s the Kirkwood address plus print, so http://www.kirkwood.edu/print but not that easy to find a link to on the Kirkwood page.
As a student when you print documents, you will see a pop-up that will inform you of the cost of that print job and the remaining balance. Click OK to confirm that you want to print. If a student sends a job to the printer that is more than 24 pages, an additional dialogue box pops up asking them to confirm that they want to print that many pages.
Recreation Center – Located on campus, the recreation center has exercise equipment and an indoor track for your workout. They also run exercise classes. Click fitness classes for the current list. Find out hours, location, and all they have to offer on their website. It’s open to Kirkwood employees and all for credit students.
Reserve Non-Library Group Room – There is a conference room with glass walls across from Tutoring Services. CH 2079 can seat 10. No food or drink is allowed. They have white boards and should have erasers and markers. If the markers have disappeared ask at the Learning Services Office, CH 2063. The room is sometimes reserved for classes the schedule list is posted on the window. If students want to reserve the room you can e-mail Nic Jones at nic.jones@kirkwood.edu. It can be reserved the day of use. The library group study rooms have to be reserved a day in advance or you can use them on a first come, first served basis. During the build up to finals the Cedar Rapids library also reserves a couple of extra classrooms which are available on a first come first served basis, check at the reference desk for room numbers which can change during the day.
Restrooms, Single Occupancy – There are single occupancy restrooms across campus. On the main campus in Cedar Rapids find them at Mansfield Center 3rd Floor Restrooms (across from the foundation office) Rooms 305 and 309, Benton Hall 3rd Floor Rooms 325 and 326, and Bookstore 1st Floor Rooms 112 and 113. They are also available on the Iowa City campus – Room 125B and Linn Regional Center- South Side (next to KTOS) Rooms 803 and 805.

The Kirkwood student email system is the primary tool for official communication from the college. All current Kirkwood students are expected to have a k# (college ID) and a student email account. Important information from your department, as well as notifications from advising, enrollment and financial aid, will NOT be sent via postal mail or to a personal e-mail address, but will be sent to your student e-mail.
The format of your Kirkwood student email address is: firstname-lastname@student.kirkwood.edu
(Example: jane-smith@student.kirkwood.edu)
If your first and last name are being used already, a number will be added to your email address to make it unique.
Alternative some Kirkwood programs will require you to use your k number for the first part:
(Example k0123456@student.kirkwood.edu)
BOTH addresses take you to the same account.
Upon graduation or transfer to another institution, student email accounts are deactivated (the following August 31st). Any saved documents and/or emails will not be accessible after that date.
As part of your student e-mail account you have access to the cloud based version of Microsoft Office and One Drive. Ask at the reference Desk for help.

Scholarships for study abroad are available.
Talon
Talon is a suite of online tools that facilitate online classes. Instructors in face-to-face courses often deliver materials and extend your learning with Talon. Most online courses operate fully within Talon or at least use it as a frame or portal to get you to the materials you need and to turn in assignments.
If your instructor told you to use or find something and you don’t know where it is (a handout, an article, a place to turn something in), check your Talon page for that class first.
Often the first thing we suggest for people having Talon problems is to try a different browser, like Firefox or Chrome. You can check with the student help desk, but you may be directed to the help line through Talon which is available 24/7 at 1-877-478-7074. If you have questions about coursework, contact your instructor.
