How do I know whether I am a candidate for Guest, Non-Degree or Re-App Admission?
Guest Admission/Application
Guest admission is available to applicants who are new to graduate study at Kent State University. It provides an opportunity to take a limited number of graduate courses for credit. To be admitted in this category, the applicant must have an earned baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution. Guest students typically take courses for job enhancement, personal enrichment, or enjoyment.
Guest students may remain in this status until a maximum of 6 semester hours of Kent State University credit have been attempted. Students cannot earn a degree in this admission status. If you wish to pursue a degree program or continue after 6 semester hours have been attempted, you must apply for regular admission. Credit hours taken as guest may apply to a degree program with the approval of the dean. Guest students must meet all prerequisites for courses.
Anyone who has been denied admission to graduate study or is under dismissal at Kent State University is not eligible for guest student status. Guest students are not eligible for financial aid.
No transcripts or application fee are required for guest admission.
Non-Degree Admission/Application
Nondegree admission is valid for six years. The 6 hour guest student limit does not apply. However, in order to be admitted as a nondegree student you must submit two official transcripts from the institution where your most recent degree was taken. The College of Education, Health, and Human Services will secure transcripts of course work taken at Kent State University. A $30.00 non-refundable application fee is required.
It is important for nondegree students to understand that in the event they decide to apply to a degree program, a limit of 12 hours taken as a nondegree admit can be used in the degree program, if approved.
Re-Application
For students who have already earned a master’s degree from the College of Education, Health, and Human Services. This admission allows the student to reenroll for up to six years. There is no application fee and transcripts are not required.
