If I begin remote courses at Kent State, can I transition into into in-person courses once everything returns to normal?

This is surely an option, you can start your classes remote.  Please note that due to the uncertainty of the visa approval process, if you are rejected for a visa for any reason, you might run the risk of starting a program remotely that you cannot complete in person. If the program selected has a fully online option, then there should not be any issues.  We encourage you to reach out to us if you have any concerns.
