Enrollment Management / 5<br />

All applicants are encouraged to complete English, science and math courses beyond these minimum requirements. Training and/or experience<br />

in mechanical drawing, computer aided design, and personal computers is encouraged.<br />

Beyond these minimum requirements, <strong>Kettering</strong> does not have a fixed formula for determining who to accept for admission. However, a<br />

strong record of achievement is expected. A separate GPA will be calculated for English, mathematics and science course work for all<br />

students.<br />

College Entrance Examinations<br />

Applicants for freshman admission are required to present the results of either the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or the American College<br />

Test (ACT). Scores should be sent to <strong>Kettering</strong> <strong>University</strong> from the testing agency. Students are encouraged to sit for either examination<br />

during the junior year and again in the fall of the senior year. Students for whom English is their second language are strongly encouraged<br />

to present the results of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). <strong>Kettering</strong>’s ACT code is 1998 and CEEB code for SAT and<br />

placed on college entrance exams. All credentials submitted become part of the permanent file at <strong>Kettering</strong> <strong>University</strong>. They cannot be<br />

returned to the applicant nor forwarded to any other institution.<br />

Early application is encouraged to maximize the student’s visibility in the professional cooperative education employment search process.<br />

However, <strong>Kettering</strong> welcomes applications throughout the year.<br />

All post-secondary institutions attended should be listed regardless of intention to transfer credits to <strong>Kettering</strong>. Enrollment at <strong>Kettering</strong><br />

<strong>University</strong> is also contingent upon satisfactory performance and completion of all courses in which the student is currently enrolled as well<br />

as satisfactory completion of courses required for admission. Final high school and college transcripts are required to be submitted to the<br />

office of admissions for all incoming students. Failure to do so will affect your ability to register for classes. The application is valid for one<br />

year. Students applying to <strong>Kettering</strong> <strong>University</strong>, but not enrolling, will be allowed one full year to request reactivation.<br />

program. Although encouraged to do so, Canadian students are not required to submit SAT scores except candidates from French Speaking<br />

International Students<br />

<strong>Kettering</strong> <strong>University</strong> welcomes students from foreign countries. The decision regarding academic qualification is based on the student’s<br />

record of achievement in secondary school or university studies. International students are encouraged to present the results of the Scholastic<br />

Aptitude Test (SAT). Students for whom English is their second language, or who did not attend school where English was the language of<br />

instruction, are required to present the results of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).<br />

Certified copies of transcripts/educational certificates and records with English translations must be filed with the application. International<br />

students must also demonstrate how they plan to finance the cost of their education before arrangements can be made for a visa. <strong>Kettering</strong><br />

does not have scholarship funds available for international students.<br />

Immigration Information<br />

International students who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents of the U.S. are not eligible for immigration to the U.S. based on<br />

their attendance at <strong>Kettering</strong> <strong>University</strong>. Persons who are able to work for their co-op employer at an American site will be issued a special<br />

visa (J-1) which allows the student to work in related activities during the period of their education.<br />

* Subject to change. <strong>Kettering</strong> <strong>University</strong> will waive the application fee of needy students upon receipt of the College Board Fee Waiver Request.
