Take care of day-to-day living needs! Housing, parking and your Kent State ID are key daily essentials. Tackle these in any order you choose - but be certain you check these items off of your must-do list.

Housing 

• If you are looking to live on campus, submit your application in your applicant portal.
• Applications for housing open Oct. 15 for incoming spring students and Feb. 1 for incoming fall students.

Kent State ID, FLASHcard!

• See current instructions on how to upload your photo and where to pick up your FLASHcard. 
• The FLASHcard is your Kent State University ID card and more. Your card will let you take materials out of the Kent State libraries, access services such as Student Recreation and Wellness Center and athletic events, and purchase goods and services both on and off campus. If you have a meal plan, you will use your FLASHcard to purchase meals in our dining halls.

Parking Permit

• To find out which parking permit is best for you, visit the parking services website.
