Let's Get Started - Registration Prep

Academic advising is crucial to your success and your Academic Advisor will play a large role in your life at Kent State.  Before you connect with your Academic Advisor to discuss and register for classes, there are some things you need to know and some things we need to learn about you! Let’s start with an overview of advising and registration.

2. Connecting with Your Advisor

You’re very close to connecting with your advisor and registering for fall classes! Let’s get the final pieces in place:

  • You will have your advising appointment using Microsoft Teams. Download Microsoft Teams on either your phone or computer or both (or both).
  • Your advising appointment TIME will be emailed to you TWO DAYS BEFORE your scheduled orientation date. Make sure to check your Kent State email!
  • Take any required Placement Assessments. This is found on your new student checklist. You must complete your required assessment 48 hours before your advising appointment.
