Step 8: COMPETITIVE

Start your orientation course. New students admitted ADVANTAGE
into the Kettering University Graduate Program
are required to complete the Graduate Orientation
course (ORTN-600). Upon admission into Kettering
University, students will automatically be enrolled
in this online Orientation course in the term they
are admitted. This is a non-credit, no-cost graduate
course. While this is not a prerequisite to taking any
other course, students are encouraged to complete
it during their first term. All new Kettering University
graduate students are required to successfully
complete this course in order to graduate.

ORTN-600 will be offered during all four academic
terms. The course will be on Blackboard and will
remain available to students throughout their
academic career as a resource for answering
questions and providing information.

Step 9:

Request your Kettering Student Identification Card. You are issued a Kettering ID Card upon your
arrival at Kettering University. The Kettering University identification card identifies you as a current
member of the Kettering community. Depending on your relationship to the University and the
services that you sign up for, your ID card can also be used as an electronic door key and to access
a variety of functions and facilities on campus, including athletic events, dining, fitness/activity
centers, libraries, transportation services, and vending machines. You can find the ID Card Policies
