University College
Destination Kent State has returned! The summer advising and registration program at Â鶹´«Ã½ is a one-and-a-half-day experience that includes an overnight stay in a residence hall. Students are encouraged to invite family members and guests to participate in the program.
The students explore important topics, including the differences between high school and college, navigating the university and properly preparing to be a college student. Family members and guests learn about essential tools for a positive college experience, such as financial aid, academic success tips and support skills for being the parent/family member of a college student.
The program concludes on the second day when the students meet one-on-one with an academic advisor to create an academic plan.
This year, advising and registration sessions are being scheduled between June 6 and July 20 with a break the week of July 4.
Â鶹´«Ã½ is the recipient of the 2015 Institutional Excellence for Students in Transition Award by the National Resource Center for the First-Year Experience and Students in Transition. The center is committed to setting the standard for excellence in supporting students at critical junctures in the educational pipeline, and it seeks to promote intentional and integrative connections within and across institutions and educational sectors to enhance the student transition experience.
