I only have my unofficial transcript from Notre Dame. Can I still be admitted to Kent State and have my coursework count toward a degree?

How do I get credit for my College Credit Plus (CCP) courses?

Did you take college-level courses while you were still in high achool? If so, those courses will be reported on a college transcript that is separate from your high school transcript, even if they are listed as part of your high school academics. If you are applying as an undergraduate student and you took CCP coursework somewhere other than Kent State, you will need to have official transcripts from that college or university forwarded directly to the Office of Admissions at the Â鶹´«Ã½.

I am in a teacher licensure program at Notre Dame. How will Â鶹´«Ã½ help me complete student teaching and finish that degree?

Â鶹´«Ã½ will make every effort to support students in programs leading to licensure or certification. This includes ensuring eligibility for an equal or comparable license or certification, whenever possible. Contact advisor Kathy Zarges at kmzarges@kent.edu to discuss your options.

I need to complete only a couple more courses for my degree. Will Kent State help me do that?

Yes, Kent State will make every effort to ensure you are on track for your degree. The university is working closely with its (and Notre Dame’s) accreditor, Higher Learning Commission, to make allowances for specific degree requirements where warranted.

When I graduate, will I receive a Notre Dame College diploma or a Â鶹´«Ã½ diploma?
