How do I receive an invitation from the Honors College?

First-Year Admission to the Honors College is by invitation only. Invitations begin going out in October. To be eligible for an invitation, students must meet both of the following criteria:

  • Have a 3.7+ cumulative high school GPA (weighted or unweighted)
  • Apply to Kent State University via the Kent State Application or the Common App by:
    • November 1 for spring enrollment
    • December 1 for fall enrollment
    • Be officially admitted to Kent State (conditional admission is excluded).

Once a student receives an invitation to apply to the Honors College, they must submit their Honors College application by the following deadlines:

  • Spring Semester

    • November 1 at 11:59 p.m. ET for spring priority consideration
    • December 1 at 11:59 p.m. ET for spring regular consideration
  • Fall Semester

    • December 1 at 11:59 p.m. ET for fall priority consideration
    • January 15 at 11:59 p.m. ET for fall priority consideration
