Enrollment Management / 11 Students Without a Co-op Employer Students who are not employed are allowed to continue in the academic program until they can no longer meet the minimum co-op requirements to graduate. Students seeking employment while attending classes must maintain a current resumé, attend seminars on employment search skills, and apply for positions. They must be easily accessible and available for interviews with prospective employers, and be proactive in the co-op search process with the assistance of the Cooperative Education staff. Locating positions for students with unsatisfactory academic performance is difficult. Students who are on academic probation and/or have been released for cause by their employer may forfeit their right to university assistance in finding new co-op employment. Transfer of Work Experience Students who have participated in other comparable college-level cooperative work experience programs or who believe they have significant work experience related to their Kettering degree program, may be eligible to transfer this work experience toward their Kettering degree requirements. Students wishing to pursue such action should contact the Cooperative Education Office to determine the documentation necessary to transfer a maximum of two work experiences. These work experiences will apply toward the student's freshman and sophomore level experiences only. Co-op and Thesis Requirements for a Second Baccalaureate Degree Students transferring to Kettering University with a baccalaureate degree must achieve three satisfactory work terms at an authorized employer plus two work terms for thesis completion. These five work experience terms must be earned while a Kettering University student. FINANCIAL AID Diane Bice, Director Room 2-328 CC, 810-762-7859 dbice@kettering.edu STUDENT FINANCIAL AID In addition to cooperative education earnings, there are three basic types of financial assistance for students: gift aid, loans and campus employment. While these are described below, the Kettering University Financial Aid Handbook contains detailed information about these awards. Gift Aid • Federal Pell Grant is awarded to undergraduate students who demonstrate financial need. The amount of the award depends on the family financial situation. • Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG) may be awarded by the Kettering University Financial Aid Office to undergraduate students who demonstrate exceptional financial need. • Michigan Competitive Scholarship (MCS) and Michigan Tuition Grant (MTG) are available to Michigan residents who demonstrate financial need. (MCS is also based on a qualifying ACT score.) • Scholarships are available from both institutional (Kettering University) and private sources to students who are academically qualified based on merit and/or financial need. Private gifts come from various donors who establish their own guidelines and criteria for recipients. A partial list follows. Marsha C.

The maximum on these loans is $150. Students must have a zero balance. • Alternative Student Loan Programs. These programs are intended to provide students and their families an alternate source of loan funds to assist in meeting the cost of post secondary education. Contact the Financial Aid Office for further details. On-Campus Student Employment • Federal Work Study (FWS) is a program that assists Kettering University in providing on-campus employment for students with demonstrated need. • Michigan Work Study is a State program that assists Kettering University in providing on-campus employment for students with demonstrated need. • Campus employment is available on a limited basis to students without financial need who would like to earn money toward educational cost while attending school. Financial Aid Policies • Required Forms Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) Other documentation required for federal verification as requested • Deadline Dates In order to be considered for all available awards, freshmen applicants are encouraged to apply by February 15 and continuing students are encouraged to apply by March 1. • All required documents must be submitted to the Financial Aid Office in a timely manner. Loan applications will be processed, need-based grants will be credited to accounts, and FWS will be initiated once all documents requested for verification are submitted. Verification must be completed before or during at least half-time attendance; failure to do so will result in the loss of eligibility. • Scholarships and grants are credited to student accounts according to the schedule on the award letter. Loans are credited after checks are endorsed and promissory notes are signed as needed. Earnings from on-campus employment are paid on a biweekly basis. • Students may contact the Financial Aid Office in Room 2-328 CC between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. (Monday - Friday) for specific details regarding eligibility, application procedures, deadlines, and required documents. Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) All students receiving financial aid must maintain satisfactory academic progress for the award year and advance toward graduation to be eligible to continue to receive state and federal and institutional assistance. Additional requirements are included in the Financial Aid Brochure. Students dismissed for academic reasons must meet readmission requirements and SAP requirements to be eligible for financial aid. Students readmitted on a non-degree basis are not eligible for financial aid. Tuition/Financial Aid Policy For purposes of determining financial aid, a full academic load at Kettering University is considered to be 16 credit hours. In the new curriculum, students may fall below 16 credit hours for various reasons. One scenario involves courses where the class and lab are separated; three credits for the class and one credit for the lab. If a student withdraws from the class before seventh week he/she should also withdraw from the lab. As a freshman or sophomore, if a student fails the course but passes the lab, he/she may take only 15 credits when repeating the class. This could affect financial aid. In particular, Pell Grants would be reduced by one-fourth. However, the reduction in the Pell Grant award will be offset by the reduction in tuition. Other forms of financial aid or loans may be affected. Please contact the Financial Aid Office for further information (810-762-7859). Withdrawing from Courses Financial aid is based on the number of credits for which students are enrolled at the end of the refund period. Students who are not registered for full-time at that point will have aid reduced accordingly. Students are encouraged to meet with a financial aid advisor prior to making withdrawal decisions. Withdrawing from Kettering Students who completely withdraw from Kettering University will have financial aid returned to the source, based on the Federal Title IV Policy. This policy and examples are available at the Financial Aid Office, and in the Financial Aid Brochure.
