Protect Your GPA
As a student, it’s important to make good decisions because they can impact your GPA. Many things you do, and often the things you don’t do (like not going to class or taking advantage of tutoring), can make a difference. Remember - you are in control of your academics and how you spend your time!
Time Spent Inside the Classroom and Out
- At Kent State courses are organized by units of credit hours.
- Each credit hour equals 15 hours of class time.
- For every credit hour, students are expected to spend two to three hours per week working outside of class on studying and assignments.
