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

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />
