This COVID-19 dashboard provides data on positive COVID-19 cases related to Kent State University’s eight-campus system. The data represents outcomes from tests conducted through university testing measures as well as self-reported information from those in our community who have been tested elsewhere.
Included below is the current status of operations for each Kent State campus. Circumstances and changes in operations may vary from campus to campus, and modifications in instruction delivery and operations will be made accordingly.

There is no definitive number of positive cases that would lead to a change in campus operations. However, several indicators are monitored and evaluated closely, including the number of positive cases and the availability of tests and personal protective equipment (PPE). These factors play a critical role in evaluating the status for each campus.
Kent State is prepared for all situations, including the possibility that we must adjust our mix of in-person and remote courses (meaning that some courses currently taught in person may move to remote delivery, while courses that cannot be delivered remotely continue to be delivered in person) or once again convert to all remote instruction, whether it be for a few weeks or a longer duration.
