Transfer Admission

A transfer student has enrolled in a college, university, technical or proprietary school after graduation from high school, but has not completed a bachelor's degree. 

You are still considered a transfer student even if you don't think your previous credits will transfer to Kent State.

TRANSFER STUDENT INFORMATION

TRANSFER APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS

1. OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPTS FROM EVERY COLLEGE OR UNIVERSITY YOU ATTENDED

• Submit official transcripts from every college college or university you attended after high school (or after receiving your GED), even if you feel credit will not be transferable. Failure to report previously attended colleges or universities is falsification and may result in denial of admission or dismissal from the university. To request official transcripts be sent, see instructions below.

2. ACT OR SAT SCORES ARE OPTIONAL, BUT RECOMMENDED

• ACT or SAT scores help your academic advisor determine which Kent State courses are best for you. If you've taken the ACT or SAT, we encourage you to submit your scores to Kent State Ashtabula.  It may not be necessary if you:
  • are 21 years of age or older; or
  • have been out of high school 3 or more years; or
  • have successfully completed 12 or more college-level semester hours
• Need to take the ACT or SAT?

3. IF APPLICABLE, OFFICIAL COLLEGE CREDIT PLUS TRANSCRIPTS

OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPTS

Transcripts are considered official only if they arrive in a sealed letterhead envelope from a high school, college or university. Transcripts issued directly to the student will be accepted only if the envelope is unopened. Once the envelope seal has been broken by someone other than a university employee, the transcript becomes unofficial.
