Enrollment Next Steps

Next Steps for Admitted Students Summer 2023


If you’re wondering what to do after you’ve been admitted until the first day of class on May 8, follow the guide below to stay organized.

  1. Activate your KC student email and student portal accounts: This is the very first step in the enrollment process.

    Visit: KC student email for login instructions
    Visit: Student portal for login instructions
    • These accounts are essential for registering for classes and making deposits or downpayments. As a Kettering College student, official communications will be sent to your my.kc.lionandpanda.com email address.
    • This email address will also be used to sign up for registration and financial aid appointments. It’s important to activate your accounts as delays in the registration process can occur without them.
    • If you have trouble logging in, contact the IT Help Desk at helpdesk@kc.lionandpanda.com or call 937-203-8303.
    • It’s important to note that it can take up to 72 hours from college acceptance to have your student portal information activated.
  2. Sign up for a registration appointment (Summer registration will open Monday, March 20, 2023, at 8:00 AM)
    • New undergraduate students are encouraged to sign up for an online registration appointment to register for classes. Online Appointments: Click HERE to schedule your registration appointment. You will be able to meet with a Kettering College staff member on Zoom to complete the course registration process
    • Please use Google Chrome with pop-ups enabled, as mobile devices may not be compatible with the registration process.
    • When you log into the student portal for registration, you must be on a laptop/computer and you will need to change the term date to the semester you are registering for, i.e. SU-23.
  3. Financial Clearance: A down payment of $800 needs to be paid before starting classes unless a student has been awarded financial aid that equals the total semester tuition and fee bill or has 3rd party sponsorship. If you are ready to make this payment, log into your student portal. If you need help making a payment, you can contact financial.aid@my.kc.lionandpanda.com. If you plan on taking federal financial aid, make sure to complete all FAFSA paperwork and submit it to Kettering College (code: 007035). If you have any questions about completing your FAFSA, you can contact Melissa Franklin.
  4. Buy books and class materials: Kettering College utilizes an online bookstore called kc.ecampus.com which will fulfill your course material needs. After you register for your classes, you will be able to log in to this online bookstore and complete your order. Course materials will be available for purchase in April. Required course materials that are in stock ship the same day. You can choose the buying option that works best for you: rental, used, new, or eBook. Eligible students can apply for their book vouchers towards their purchase at checkout. Note: by using the voucher, you agree to have eCampus send your textbook bill to the college, we then add your book costs to your Kettering College student account. A price match is always guaranteed if you find a lower price. For questions contact 859-209-6958 or email bookstore@eCampus.com.
  5. Please submit proof of your vaccination: Kettering College is requiring ALL students who are registered for classes (in person, online, or in clinical rotations) to submit proof of receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. Submit proof of your vaccination to Sarah Bayer, Student Health Coordinator, via email at sarah.bayer@kc.lionandpanda.com . If you are in a clinical program, you will also need to submit a copy of your vaccination card through CastleBranch. Requests for exemptions from COVID-19 vaccination will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Please email our Student Health Coordinator if you need an exemption. Visit our Covid-10 FAQ page for more information. Visit our Immunization and Health Requirements page for a full list of requirements.
  6. Parking Pass and Student ID: We would love to prepare your Kettering College student ID before the school year begins and have it ready for you at the front desk. Email Kettering College’s Front Desk Attendant, Doris Imhoff (Doris.imhoff@kc.lionandpanda.com), the information below, and she will print your student ID and have it ready for you when you start classes:
      • First and Last name

  7. Complete clinical paperwork (if applicable): Those directly admitted into programs with clinical work will be required to complete paperwork that includes a background check and immunization records. Check in with your specific program to confirm if you need to complete this paperwork. If you do not have a contact for your program, email admissions@kc.lionandpanda.com and we can connect you with your program.
  8. Residence Hall Accommodations (if applicable): If you are interested in living in the residence hall, make sure you’ve filled out the Residence Hall Application as spots in the residence hall can fill up. Here’s a list of ideas of items to bring, as a residence hall student. If you have any questions about living in the residence hall or about residence hall move-in day contact our residence hall director, judith.mendoza@my.kc.lionandpanda.com.
