After technical problems delayed things early in the week, KCPD began issuing the school’s new debit ID cards Wednesday.
Minor software and design issues were the cause of the problem, according to KCPD.
Current students will not be able to use the cards until the fall semester. The current ID cards will work through the Summer II session at the end of July.
Students will also be unable to use the cards until they have paid for their fall classes.
The new debit ID cards will be the only form of financial aid disbursement in the future. The cards are not credit cards, but they can be used in diverse ways, including being linked to your existing bank account.

May 14 marks a day of achievement for more than 440 KC Students.
At 5:30 and 8 p.m., 299 students, along with approximately 60 faculty and staff, will participate in KC’s 75th anniversary graduation ceremony. Dr. Bill Holda, KC president, will be the speaker for both ceremonies.
Forty years after its completion, efforts are under way to make improvements to the bridge connecting KC’s east and west campuses.
Because there is a sign ordinance and because the bridge crosses a Texas state highway, the Texas Department of Transportation essentially has jurisdiction over the bridge. TxDot has to grant the college permission to make any type of major visible alterations to the bridge.
This is part one of a three part series on looking back at the heritage of some of KC’s legends.
A banner proclaiming “A star was born and her name is Gussie Nell,” hangs on the red, white and blue walls of the Rangerette Showcase Museum. An oil derrick, women’s residence, various events and traditions practiced today serve to commemorate this campus legend and the impact she had on KC.
Miss Gussie Nell Davis began her professional career as instructor of physical education and pep-squad director at Greenville High School in 1928. Drawing on her combined experience in music, dance and physical education, she trained the all-girl “Flaming Flashes” to use small wooden batons that she commissioned from a local furniture maker, as well as flags, various props, drums and bugles in increasingly complex dance-drills and marches.
A possibly explosive device was found at the East Texas Police Academy’s firing range.
The two-gallon metal bucket filled with potential accelerants and a fuse was found at 9 a.m. Tuesday by a Texas Ranger at the front gate of the academy’s Spear Training Facility, said KCPD chief Martin Pessink.
For the second consecutive year, KC secured a spot in the Region XIV Conference Tournament. Unfortunately, for the second consecutive year, the appearance in the postseason was shortlived.
Ninth-seed Jacksonville College upended the eighth-seed Rangers, 70-53, in Thursday’s opening game of the Region XIV Basketball Championships tournament at the Herrington Patriot Center on the campus of the University of Texas at Tyler.
Head Coach Brian Hoberecht coached KC to its first winning season since 2005-06, but several injuries depleted the team toward the end of the season.
