Registrar Forms Library

Student and other request forms can be accessed below using defined links. 

Dynamic Forms and Adobe Acrobat Sign are the new electronic signature tools for Kent State University.  We will be converting documents to Dynamic Forms by June 2023, replacing the current electronic signature tool, Docusign.

There may be 2 links available to complete a form. Choose which form to complete based on your current situation.  Those that do not have an active @kent.edu email address will need to create an account.

  1. Current students (those with an active @kent.edu email address/FlashLine credentials)
  2. Non-current students (those that do not have an active @kent.edu email address/FlashLine credentials)

If you are a non-current student, an account will need to be created using a personal email with Dynamic Forms when completing the form.

Please have any required documentation ready to upload when completing your forms. You can view your draft/pending/completed Dynamic Forms after you have submitted your portion of the form at dynamicforms.kent.edu.

Some forms are not electronic and are completed manually (PDFs).  Each form type is identified next to the link. 

  • Dynamic Forms or DocuSign: Submitted through the direct link and DO NOT need to be submitted manually.
