You are now a confirmed Kent State student. Congratulations! You can now follow along with your personalized checklist in FlashLine or view a complete list of steps below.

There are a few more things you need to do before the semester starts:

• Submit your final transcripts and test scores. If you had in-progress coursework or have completed additional classes since your initial transcript was submitted, forward your final transcripts to the Admissions Office.
• Register for Selective Service. If you are an Ohio resident male over the age of 18, register for selective service.
• Review and complete mandatory immunizations. You can find more information on our webpage here.
• Get your Kent State ID, FLASHcard. View instructions here for uploading your photo and picking up your FLASHcard. Your FLASHcard provides access to your meal plan, libraries, the Student Recreation and Wellness Center and athletic events. It can also be used to make purchases on and off campus.
• Parking Permit To find out which parking permit is best for you, visit the parking services website.
• Request your chosen name. We recognize that some students use a name other than their legal name to identify themselves. We recommend you do this before arriving on campus. You can do this by logging in to FlashLine and following the steps below:
  • Select "Student" in the left-hand column.
  • Under "Student," select "Resources."
  • Under "Resources," select "Requests and Authorizations."
  • The webpage will be displayed; select "Chosen Name Request."

After completing these steps, stay up to date with your personalized checklist in FlashLine and continue to check your personal and kent.edu email.
