18 / Kettering University
Degree Completion for Inactive Students with Coursework Remaining
Inactive students who now wish to return to Kettering University are encouraged to contact the Registrar’s Office for assistance. After
ensuring that all financial obligations to the university have been met and all outstanding holds cleared, the Registrar will refer such students
to the appropriate Academic Department Head or Discipline Chair to develop a plan of study. The final plan will be filed in the departmental
office and in the student’s permanent file in the Registrar’s Office. These students will be subject to meeting the requirements for degrees in
effect at the time of readmission.
EVALUATION OF STUDENT PERFORMANCE AND PROGRESS
Grade (Report) Information
Students may view and print their term grades on the Banner Web by using their Student Identification Number and Personal Identification
Number (PIN). Unofficial transcripts are also available on Banner Web.
Grade Appeals
The course instructor ultimately has the sole responsibility for the assignment of grades in any course. Questions concerning an assigned
final grade are to be handled through the Grade Appeal Process. The first step in this process involves contacting the course instructor in
writing. If satisfaction is not received, further appeal of an assigned grade may be addressed, in writing, to the instructor's department head.
The department head may only make recommendations to the instructor; he/she may not change any course grade. Appeals must be initiated
within four (4) months after the final grade was issued to the Registrar. The student's failure to access grades does not provide an exemption
from the time limitation. The student should note that there are specific criteria under which a grade may be appealed. For this reason, the
student is encouraged to consult the Grade Appeal Process document before initiating any such appeal. Details of the Grade Appeal Process,
including the submission of the appropriate form, are available in each instructional department.
Final Examinations/Final Learning Experience
Kettering University policy requires each student to participate in a comprehensive final learning experience in each course. The extent to
which that experience contributes to the student's course grade may vary by professor and by course, but generally amounts to between
20 and 40 percent.
