Student Email

Student Email

Your Kettering College e-mail account is where you will receive all official communication from the College, including messages from your professors.

Students can access their email at: http://gmail.com (do NOT use “www” – it will not work). 

Email address

The standard format is your first and last name separated by a period, followed by @my.kc.edu, accounting for name variations. Spaces will be adjusted, and special accent characters or punctuation will be removed to create a valid email address.

Examples
Marie Curie → marie.curie@my.kc.edu
Fe del Mundo → fe.del_mundo@my.kc.edu
Chien-Shiung Wu → chien-shiung.wu@my.kc.edu
Eileen O’Connor → eileen.oconnor@my.kc.edu
Sr. Elizabeth Kenny → sr_elizabeth.kenny@my.kc.edu
Françoise Barré-Sinoussi → francoise.barre-sinoussi@my.kc.edu

Notes
Suffixes (Jr., III, etc.) are not included.
If an email already exists, a number may be added (example: marie.daly2@my.kc.edu).

Password
Your initial password is:  Kettdefpw– + last 4 digits of student ID + !

For example, if Charles Kettering’s student ID# is kcs4010000, his initial password is: Kettdefpw-0000! 

Changing Your Email Password

You will be required to change this password on your first login. When you change your password, you should use a “strong” password that you know you can remember.  A strong password is at least 12 characters long and contains a mix of uppercase/lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters such as #!$%^&*. *Note: IT Support staff cannot look up your password.  Please remember it!
