In those cases where a student is taking 12-18 hours a attending a Regional Campus and the Kent Campus concurrently, the cohort rate will be assessed individually for each campus.  These individual tuition assessments added together will not exceed the Kent Campus cohort rate capped at between 12-18 credit hours during fall and spring terms.  The rate for summer terms are not capped at the full-time tuition rate between 12-18 credit hours.  Instead, the summer guarantee rate is based on the guaranteed cohort per-credit-hour rate listed above.   

1 The general fee is mainly used to support student services and operations.  Examples include recreation services, athletics, student center, transportation services, and student organizations.  There's also a component that provides funding for facilities needs and for investment in off campus and distance learning.  Allocations of the general fee revenues are part of the University's annual budget building process.      

2 A flat rate applies to undergraduate students taking between 12-18 credit hours and graduate students taking between 11-18 credit hours. An additional $519.45 per credit hour is assessed for each credit hour enrolled above 18 for undergraduates and an additional $536.00 per credit hour above 18 for graduate students. Visit the Per-Credit-Hour Fee page for more information. 

3 This rate is subject to change each Fall. Please visit the FAQs on the Kent State Tuition for Online Degrees webpage for more information about the non-Ohio-resident surcharge for approved fully online degree and certificate programs.
