Creating and embracing an inclusive environment is important to the mission of Kent State University. We recognize that some students use a name other than their legal name to identify themselves, so Kent State has established a process for students to request a chosen name. We suggest completing this before you arrive on campus.

Here are the steps for indicating a chosen name:

1. Log in to FlashLine and select "Student" in the left-hand column.
2. Under "Student," select "Resources."
3. Under "Resources," select "Requests and Authorizations."
4. The webpage will be displayed; double click on "Chosen Name Request."
