Registrar / 25 NOTE: Students may, according to special needs by their employer, follow other patterns of academic/co-op terms. Students wishing to work three consecutive work terms may do so but will be listed inactive (not a student) for one of the three terms. A student must demonstrate progress toward a degree by attending two academic terms within a given year. Send a written request to the Registrar if interested in pursuing this option. COURSES Course Loads The representative program of courses shown term-by-term for each of the degrees offered indicate what is considered a normal course load. In general, those loads are four courses per term for underclassmen amounting to approximately 16 attempted hours, and five per term for upperclassmen, amounting to 20 attempted hours. However, the flat rate tuition schedule includes student loads from 16 to 22 attempted hours. Overloads Students are eligible to register for one additional course beyond the limits if: • Their cumulative GPA is 92 or greater. • They have completed a minimum of 16 credit hours with no course withdrawals or failures in both the current term and previous academic term. • They are not currently enrolled in pre-calculus. Students wishing to take overloads beyond the standards above will need to obtain approval from the Registrar, Room 3-309 AB. Only students in good academic standing are allowed to attempt an overload. Students whose performance is less-than-good standing may be required to take a course load less than that represented for their degree program. These students should contact Academic Services (Room 3-322 AB) with questions and for advisement. REGISTRATION First -time students All first-time freshmen are given exams in mathematics unless college transfer credit or Advance Placement credit is awarded for calculus. Based on exam results and intended degree program, each student will be registered for first term courses and will receive their schedules during orientation weekend in the summer and fall terms. New students in the winter or spring terms will receive a preliminary schedule in the mail which may require adjustment after the placement exams are given during the first week of class. Transfer Students First-term transfer students are scheduled based upon the individual's choice of major and the amount of transferable course work awarded. The student will be given an opportunity to review transfer credits and term class schedule during the transfer student orientation held prior to the start of classes. Continuing Students Registration takes place each term during eighth, ninth and tenth week. Students register for the next academic term; i.e., register in spring term for fall classes, register in summer term for winter classes, etc. Financial clearance from the Student Accounts Office and a completed course selection form signed by both student and faculty advisor are required to participate in registration. Future schedules will be administratively adjusted if prerequisite courses are not satisfactorily completed. Web Drop/Add is held Sunday through Wednesday 12th week, for open course sections for the following term. On-campus Drop/Add is held the first Monday and Tuesday of each term. Students receive academic advising and course selection approval by making an appointment with their faculty advisor during seventh or eighth week. Seniors, juniors, sophomores and freshmen with a declared major receive advisement in their degree department. Freshmen and sophomore engineering students who have not yet declared a major receive advisement in Academic Services. Late Registration Policy Students may drop/add courses on Monday and Tuesday of first week of the term. Any student who is not appearing on the final roster printed Monday, second week, will not receive credit for the course. Registration for Independent Studies or Directed Studies Independent Study: A unique topic in a specific area of study not offered in an existing course. Requirements and meeting times are arranged by the instructor and student. A student must request and receive approval for an independent study through the instructional department. The form stating the independent study name, description and approval must reach the Registrar’s Office no later than Friday, first week. An independent study carries four credit hours. Directed Study: A course listed in the undergraduate catalog but not scheduled during a given term. It is done on a one-on-one basis with an instructor for that course.

The form stating the course number and approval must reach the Registrar’s Office no later than Friday, first week. Undergraduates Taking Graduate Courses Undergraduates with a minimum of 120 earned credits may take up to two 500- or 600- level courses per term for graduate credit if they are in good academic standing and are carrying no more than 20 credits, unless qualified to take 24 credits. Undergraduate students taking graduate course for graduate credit will be enrolled as guest students and will be limited to a total of three graduate courses. Students taking 500- and 600-level courses are not automatically admissible to the graduate program. They have still to meet all published admissions requirements. A grade of “B-” or better must be attained for credit at the graduate level for 500- or 600-level courses. Registration for Graduate Level Courses A student requesting to take a graduate course (600 level) for bachelor degree credit must take the following steps: First, complete and receive instructional department and degree department approvals on the Undergrad Request to take a Master Course form. Second, complete an Independent Study form with instructor. Third, submit both forms to the Registrar’s Office. ACADEMIC STANDARDS Active/Inactive (Separated) Status In order to be certified as an active full-time degree-seeking student, a student must be enrolled full-time in at least one academic term per semester. Circumstances may occur where this may not be possible. The student must then suspend or terminate their participation in the Kettering degree program until the next academic term in which they could be enrolled. Note that this requirement dictates that a student may not be enrolled in three consecutive cooperative work experience terms and remain an active Kettering student. When such suspension becomes necessary, the student should notify the Registrar’s Office in writing in order to ensure that all parties are properly informed. The student’s cooperative employer is not obligated to continue their agreement with the student if the student becomes inactive (separated). However, the student and the employer are encouraged to make arrangements to re-establish that agreement when the student returns to active degree-seeking status whenever that is desirable and in their mutual interest. Students must have a registration in each term for course work, coop, or Thesis in order to remain an active student. Appropriate Use of Technology in the Classroom The use of any personal computational or communications devices in the classroom, not otherwise governed by University or course policies, is subject to the approval of the instructor. This includes (but is not limited to) the use of calculators, computers, personal digital assistants, text pagers, and cell phones. Any use of such devices without permission of the instructor may be considered disruptive behavior. Students who persist in such activity may be subject to administrative dismissal for disruptive behavior, as outlined in University policies. The use of such devices to facilitate an act of academic misconduct (such as cheating or plagiarism) will be considered a violation of the University Code of Academic Integrity, and will be subject to sanctions as outlined in the Code. Attendance (Absences) Prompt and regular attendance is expected of the student for all scheduled course and laboratory work. Student participation in class discussion, question/answer sessions and problem solving is critical to the expected student learning outcome. Faculty may include explicit attendance requirements with course grade penalties in their course. The student is expected to clearly understand, at the beginning of the term, if such requirements exist. If a student is absent for cause; illness, accident, etc., the Registrar’s Office should be informed and provided with documentation if possible. All such reported absences are reported to the instructional departments and kept on record in the Registrar’s Office to assist the student when making arrangements for making up missed work with individual professors. Students should note that, although professors are not required to provide opportunity for making up missed work due to absence, most professors provide that opportunity when the absence was beyond the student’s control. A documented record of the absence in the Registrar’s Office provides the professor evidence whereby make-up work would be sanctioned. The Registrar does not excuse absences. Only the professor may or may not excuse an absence. Audit Students may enroll for an audit grade and have that status so noted on their official transcript. Audit enrollments are included in accumulating attempted hours and therefore included when determining tuition and fees at the same rate as regular enrollments. Changes in a course registration from a normal status to that of audit are treated the same as a voluntary withdrawal and must be accomplished before Friday of the seventh week of the term. The course professor’s permission is required and submitted in writing to the Registrar for processing. Audit enrollments cannot be changed to a regular enrollment. Dismissal from Class Due to Disruptive Behavior If at any time during a term an enrolled student’s presence in class is disruptive to the learning environment and in the faculty member’s opinion, is not in the best interest of the class and/or the student, the faculty member may request in writing (with a copy to his/her department head) that the student be issued an administrative dismissal. The faculty member should discuss the student’s behavior with the Associate Dean of Students and or his/her designee who will meet with the faculty member to discuss the alleged incident.
