College Resources

The Kettering College's website has a tab called "Resources" which has many areas that can help you with your learning online. The link to it is: http://kc.edu/resources

The "Student Portal." is where you can register for classes and get other helpful information related to the business office or the registrar’s office, payments to your account or class schedules. Be sure to select the correct semester. https://camsweb.kc.edu/Student/

If you need help with IT support the Helpdesk information is under the "Help" menu at the top right location of the screen.

Academic Support

Kettering College is committed to promoting student academic success by complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and will provide reasonable accommodations for those students supplying appropriate documentation. It is the student’s responsibility to notify the instructor and the Academic Support Coordinator regarding accommodations (See the KC Student Handbook). In addition, the Academic Support Learning Center strives to empower all students to develop effective strategies for learning and offers peer tutoring, group tutorials and private consultation. There is on-line tutoring support available through SMARTHINKING! It is a free tutor service that Kettering College pays as a service for you. SmarThinking is integrated directly within Canvas. You can access it by clicking on the SmarThinking link provided under the General Course Information module. Feel free to contact bev.ervin@kc.edu if you have any questions.

The faculty believe in providing quality resources for students in our program. As such, we felt it was important to provide you with a 24/7 resource for helping you to improve your writing, science, or math skills. We realize that every student comes to us with individual strengths and areas for improvement. Faculty believe that this resource will be of benefit to you.

Because we believe so strongly in helping you to improve, many of the courses you take at KC will require you to submit your papers to the writing tutor at SmarThinking for individualized feedback from a non-threatening source. It is expected that you will incorporate this feedback into the final version of your assignments before submitting your final paper in your courses.

Kettering College Library

The Library can be found at http://www.kc.edu/library. This website has a wealth of information to help you with learning materials you may need online in your online courses. The resources available for you to perform your searches are plentiful.

You will be using the library's databases to search for articles during this course. These databases can be accessed on the Find Articles page of the library website.

When accessing the databases off campus a login screen will display.
Enter your Student Portal login and password for access.
It will save you time later if you learn how to access the library's databases from your own computer now. I highly encourage you to go through this process to work out any "bugs". In this manner, we can answer questions early and not the night before your assignment is due!!

A number of library tutorials can be found on the Research Tips page of the library website.

There are also links to tutorials for individual periodical databases on the Library's Find Articles page.

You can view the tutorial on Finding full text articles.

Also be sure to check the Library Resources page on Canvas.

You can also contact the Reference Librarian, Kathy Salgado by email (kathy.salgado@kc.edu), by phone at (937) 395-8053 x6 or through the Library Resources Page on Canvas.

Kettering College Writing Center

The Kettering College Writing Center offers students the opportunity to work through their writing processes and improve on long-range and short-term writing tasks by participating in one-on-one conferences with trained peer tutors and professional staff. We offer 30-minute tutoring sessions in the Writing Center, located in L104, and 30-minute online tutoring sessions via Google docs. We ask that you make an appointment via our online scheduling system or by calling the Writing Center phone number during business hours. If you are unable to keep an appointment, we ask that you notify us of your cancellation. We also hold drop-in appointments as tutors are available, so feel free to stop by!

Counseling Services for Kettering College

Kettering College offers counseling services for students through Kettering Counseling Care Center located at Sycamore Primary Care Center on the southeast corner of SR 725 and S. Gebhart Church Road., 2 blocks west of Sycamore Medical Center (about 6 miles from the Kettering College campus). If you are within driving distance, you can make an appointment or get information by calling their office at 937-384-6920. You may also visit their website at http://www.ketteringhealth.org/counseling/. There are two licensed professional clinical counselors to assist you with counseling needs.
However, if you are not within driving distance or do not want to come to the Dayton area for counseling, these same counselors can assist you in finding counseling services in your area. Health care laws make it very difficult to counsel people online due to privacy issues, so it is best to find a counselor in your area to meet your needs.
