College Transcripts

Transfer students need to submit official transcripts from every college or university they have attended, even if they feel credit will not be transferable.

High School Transcripts

Applicants with fewer than 12 semester hours of college coursework (excluding college credits earned in high school) should also submit an official high school transcript. Kent State recently adopted a test-optional policy, so ACT or SAT test scores are optional. Some regional campuses may have additional requirements; please contact your admitting unit.

Sending Your Transcript

Kent State only accepts official transcripts sent directly from the school that issued them.

Preferred Methods:

• Electronic transcripts through services such as Common App, Parchment or Slate.org.
• Email from a school official using their school email account to transcripts@kent.edu.

Mail:

Schools may also send transcripts by mail in a sealed envelope to:

Admissions Office
Kent State University
P.O. Box 5190
Kent, OH 44242-0001

GED and High School Equivalency Credentials

If you earned a GED, HiSET or another high school equivalency diploma, ask the testing agency or state office that issued your credentials to send your official scores directly to Kent State.

Homeschooled Students

If you were homeschooled, please follow the document submission instructions in the homeschooled students section.

International Transcripts

If you attended school outside of the United States, you may upload a copy of your official transcript to your admissions portal. If it isn't in English, please include an official translation. If you are admitted, you must present your final official transcript and diploma (if applicable) to the International Admissions office for verification.
