As a visiting student from a university in the U.S, you’ll need to apply for financial aid through your home institution. Speak to your school’s Financial Aid office for more guidance on how to receive financial aid as a transient student to Kent State.
Typically, this will require an Ad Hoc Consortium Agreement that must be filled out by both schools. Please send any required documents to:
Financial, Billing and Enrollment Center
Attention: Education Abroad
1st Floor Library
1125 Risman Dr.
Kent, OH 44242
Guest students can also send their Ad Hoc Consortium Agreements via email to finaidconsortium@kent.edu
If you’re a visiting student, you’ll not receive your diploma from Kent State University, as this is only awarded to students studying our full program in Kent, Ohio.
