20 / Kettering University
While on probation 2, a student will be allowed to register for a maximum of sixteen credit hours (including labs) and must participate in
academic advising through the Academic Services Office.
Probation 2 is for one academic term. This term begins with the next academic term following the probation 1 term (in which a student is
registered for at least 12 credit hours). A student who meets the criteria for good standing at the end of the probation 2 term will be granted
good standing status. A student not meeting the criteria for good standing at the end of the probation 2 term will meet the criteria for
academic dismissal. Students on Probation 2 are not allowed to register for any courses the following term.
Academic Dismissal
Academic dismissal occurs only after a student's prior academic status was probation 2, the student does not show a significant academic
improvement and/or was not able to achieve all three good academic standing criteria.
A student who is academically dismissed is ineligible to return to Kettering University either as a degree-seeking student for a minimum of
three academic terms or as a provisional readmit (junior/senior only) student for a minimum of two academic terms following the academic
dismissal term.
A student who returns after the three-term suspension will be readmitted on probation 2 (see Probationary Readmit). A student who returns
after the two-term suspension will be readmitted under a Provisional Agreement, through their degree-granting department (see Provisional
Readmission Agreement).
Dismissal Appeals
Upon notification of academic dismissal a student may submit a written appeal to the Academic Review Committee; a sub-committee of the
Kettering University Faculty Senate. The decisions of that committee are final and no further appeal process is available.
Readmission of Academically Dismissed Students
Students who were administratively dismissed by the Academic Review Committee need to petition directly to the Committee for readmittance
one term prior to the term in which they desire to return. Conditions and criteria required for readmittance are provided at the time of the
dismissal.
Probationary Readmit - Freshmen and Sophomores
Students academically dismissed through the Academic Review Committee may not petition for readmission until all of the following
conditions have been met:
• A minimum period of three academic terms (nine months) must elapse following the term of academic dismissal
before a student will be permitted to petition for readmittance.
• Before petitioning for readmittance, the student is required to attend another institute of higher education as a fulltime,
non-degree seeking student, completing a minimum of four courses (twelve credit hours).
• The student must obtain a 3.0 term/semester GPA from the college of attendance.
• Courses must be representative of courses taken within the student's chosen degree program at Kettering University.
Upon satisfactorily meeting the above stated requirements, the dismissed student may petition the Academic Review Committee for
readmittance. To do so, submit a letter and a transcript from the other institution to the Academic Review Committee requesting probationary
readmittance. Please contact the Academic Services Department at 800-955-4464, ext. 9775 for further direction.
Students granted readmittance are readmitted on probation 2 and will not be allowed to attend back-to-back terms immediately following the
probationary readmit term. Readmittance after dismissal by the Academic Review Committee will be permitted one time only.
Provisional Readmission Agreement - Juniors and Seniors
This process of readmission is available to a student dismissed after obtaining junior or senior status only. Forms and information can be
obtained in the Academic Services Office, 3-322AB, (800-955-4464, ext. 9775).
After academic dismissal through the Academic Review Committee process, a minimum period of two academic terms (six months) must
elapse before a student may petition for readmittance through a Provisional Readmission Agreement.
A student readmitted through the provisional readmit agreement will not be allowed to attend back-to-back academic terms immediately
following the provisional readmit term.
Readmittance under the Provisional Readmission Agreement will be permitted one time only.
Terms of Provisional Readmit Agreement
At the end of the Provisional Term, students must have met all five stated requirements (listed below) of the agreement for readmittance to
be valid.
