As a graduate, you can buy a replacement diploma for a lost or damaged one, or get duplicates for home or office. Replacement diplomas will have current university officer signatures and may differ from the original. Submit a Legal Name Change Request before ordering if needed. Order online through Parchment Exchange with a major credit card. Standard fee is $25 for non-expedited mailing. Expedited shipping is available for extra cost but doesn't speed up processing. Processing takes 7-10 business days.

Students may earn credit in courses through Credit-By-Examination (CBE) based on knowledge in a subject area. To pursue CBE, students apply for permission, complete an exam administered by the academic department, and meet a minimum passing standard. Only credit hours, not letter grades, are recorded on the transcript. CBE is for enrolled degree-seeking Kent State University students, with exceptions. It can't fulfill the resident requirement. Eligibility criteria include no prior enrollment or grade, withdrawals, or attempts at CBE or CLEP for the course.

Chosen name is not required, but an option. We recognize that some students use a name other than their legal name to identify themselves.  Students may submit a chosen name through FlashLine. Click on Settings to access Chosen Name, Pronouns, and/or Gender Identity Requests in the Secure Account Access Section.

It is the responsibility of the student to update or correct their address information through FlashFAST. Every student must have a permanent address on file.

The Application for Undergraduate Reenrollment is for use by students who have previously attended Kent State University as an undergraduate student, and would like to return as an undergraduate student.
