Registrar / 23
Address, Phone, or Name Changes
Changes in addresses, or phone numbers are made in the Registrar’s Office, Room 3-309 AB or via the web using student's ID number and
PIN. Failure to change an address, which results in delayed receipt of an invoice, does not waive the requirement for payment when due.
A name change requires documentation such as a court order or marriage certificate.
Solomon Amendment
Federal law requires that all institutions of higher learning provide directory information to the military upon request.
Permanent Academic Records
All information, applications, correspondence, etc., involved in admitting and processing the active progress of an admitted student are
maintained for five years after the student has last been an active degree-seeking student. After five years only the student’s attendance
dates, academic performance, corporate affiliate and degree awarded are kept as a permanent record.
Veterans
Forms, information, and reporting services are handled in the Registrar's Office, Room 3-309 AB.
Military Call to Active Duty
Students may withdraw from the University and receive a 100% tuition refund upon presenting to the Registrar, the original Armed Forces
orders. Non-punitive grades of W will be issued. Should the call come during eighth week or later, in the judgment of the instructor and the
student, incompletes may be given with no reimbursement of tuition. Course work then would be completed per arrangements agreed upon
by the instructor and student.
ENROLLMENT STATUS
Dual Undergraduate/Graduate Student Status
A Kettering undergraduate student may also hold Kettering graduate student status provided that (1) the student is currently accepted into a
Kettering graduate program, and (2) all program requirements for the student’s declared undergraduate major(s), except thesis, will be met
during the current academic term. Under such dual status, a student may be permitted to take up to a combined total of 20 credits of
undergraduate and graduate courses, including guest credits, during that term. Student must declare, in advance, how each course is to be
used to meet specific program requirements.
Multiple Degree Enrollments
Students may concurrently pursue more than one undergraduate degree program by obtaining the approval of the respective degree departments.
Scheduling of courses must be approved by each degree department faculty advisor. Only a single thesis project is required but must meet
the approval of each department. If an academic research plan is approved in lieu of a thesis project, the course plan must also meet the
approval of each department. Each degree beyond the first requires a minimum additional 28 earned hours. No waiver in any specific
degree requirements will be allowed. However, common required courses may be allocated to each degree. The second degree must be
completed within two years of receiving the first Kettering degree or additional requirements may be invoked.
Student Financial Aid Enrollment Requirements
Kettering University is a semester-based University with two semesters. Each semester consists of an academic term and a work term.
• July-December is a semester (includes summer and fall terms).
• January-June is a semester (includes winter and spring terms).
Student aid, by law, is paid in semesters. Therefore, students who participate in non-standard enrollment (for example, attending school for
two terms July-December and then working January-June) may experience decreased financial aid eligibility.
• Enrollment patterns that will not affect aid eligibility for traditional A-section students include the first and second
examples on the chart below.
• Enrollment patterns that will not affect aid eligibility for traditional B-section students include the third and fourth
examples on the chart below.
In summary, enrollment patterns that create problems include two academic terms within one semester.
