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 preferred name.

Here are the steps for indicating a preferred name:

• Log in to FlashLine and select Student in the left-hand column.
• Under Student select Resources.
• Under Resources select Requests and Authorizations.
• The webpage will be displayed; double click on Preferred Name Request.
