All incoming first-year and transfer students must register for and attend orientation. First-year students will participate in Destination Kent State (DKS), while transfer students will attend Transfer Kent State (TKS). During these programs, students will join information sessions, meet current Kent State students, and have an academic advising appointment.
Students requesting advising appointments before orientation will be directed to register for the orientation event, where they can receive advising.
