Can students decide to leave the program early? If so, what happens?

  • Students may decide to leave the program early. All Kent State Florence courses have been retooled to be taught online, and students will be able to complete their semester in the online environment. For students who return to the U.S., they may still complete their courses online, or they may be placed in courses available at their home campus.
  • If students decide to leave the program early, they must notify the Kent State Florence Student Life Coordinators and the Office of Global Education. The Kent State Florence Student Life Coordinators and the Office of Global Education will provide information regarding the necessary steps for checking out of their apartments, continuing coursework, financial considerations and any other necessary arrangements.
