Order your eclipse glasses today
On Apr. 8, 2024, Kent State will be in the path of totality for a total solar eclipse. Except during the brief total phase of a total solar eclipse, when the Moon completely blocks the Sun’s bright face, it is not safe to look directly at the Sun without specialized eye protection for solar viewing. Faculty and staff may request eclipse glasses through University Facilities Management Ready Work Request System. To learn more about the eclipse, eye safety and Kent State eclipse events, visit www.kent.edu/eclipse.

If I'm accepted, can I defer admission for a year?
Admitted students are expected to enroll in and attend courses during the term for which they were admitted. As a courtesy, the admissions office allows admitted students to defer the term of enrollment to another term within one calendar year from the term of admission. Initial enrollment beyond one year is not permitted. To defer enrollment to a later term, students can request that change through the application portal.
Do I need to fill out a separate application to be considered for funding?
No, all students will be considered for funding if they submit their application by the posted deadline.

Q: What is included in box #1?
Do all admitted Ph.D. students receive funding? Does it matter whether I am an international applicant?
Unfortunately, we are unable to guarantee funding. We do try to secure funding for incoming students, but you will only be considered for funding if your application is received by the posted deadline. After the first year of funding, given available funds, enrolled doctoral students will be reviewed and given funding pending availability of funds, but may be considered for future funding.
