Guest Admission
Also known as a visiting or transient student at some institutions, a guest student may be defined as either:
- A student who is enrolled at another institution yet wishes to take courses at Â鶹´«Ã½. Usually this student wants to take courses at Kent State for one semester or over the summer and then return to their home institution.
- A student who wants to take a limited number of courses for credit (maximum 18 credit hours) for personal enrichment and has no interest in pursuing a degree.
UNDERGRADUATE GUEST STUDENTS SHOULD NOTE
- You must have earned a U.S. high school diploma, a U.S. GED certificate or the equivalent.
- You do not have to provide transcripts or pay an admission fee.
- You can attempt a maximum of 18 hours of Â鶹´«Ã½ credit as a guest student. This allows you to attend multiple terms until you reach the 18 hour limit, so a new guest application for each term is not required.
- You are not eligible to receive financial aid for courses registered as a guest student.
- You must apply for regular admission if you wish to pursue a degree or continue beyond the 18 credit hour limit.
- You are not eligible to apply as a guest student if you have been denied admission to a degree program or if you are currently under "academic dismissal" from Â鶹´«Ã½.
- Letters of Good Standing from your home institution are not required for admission as a guest student at Kent State.
