Kent State University plans to resume residential living and in-person classes in August and we are developing several scenarios to ensure an outstanding and safe experience for our students, faculty and staff. Although we will be together in person, there will be notable differences during the next school year. For example, students will likely enroll in a combination of face-to-face and remotely taught courses. We are also considering changes to the academic calendar, including moving to fully remote instruction for the few remaining days in the semester after Thanksgiving. If at any time during the semester the pandemic worsens, we will be prepared to move all instruction to remote learning.

Our One Stop for Student Services would be happy to look through your child’s financial aid package with you. You can reach them at 330-672-6000.

Kent State University plans to resume residential learning and in-person classes in August. If the pandemic forces the university to return to remote learning, refunds will be considered at that time. Please note that the university did issue refunds for housing, dining and parking for the Spring 2020 semester.

At this time, the University is planning for in-person classes in the fall and is not considering a reduction in tuition costs.

At this time, the university is planning to resume in-person classes on Thursday, Aug. 27, 2020.

Each college will communicate with your student if a specific computer is recommended or needed for their classes. Please reach out to your student’s college for more information.

The University’s number one priority is the safety of your student. We have developed the “Flashes Safe Seven Principles” that will be in effect when in-person classes resume in the fall.
