Welcome to Kent State University! This guide will provide you with information related to university resources and services. This resource was created to provide new graduate students with information on things to know before attending Graduate Student Orientation (GSO) and to better serve online and commuting graduate students who may be unable to attend the GSO program in-person. The resources provided as part of this guide are intended to help you easily navigate the Kent State University community. However, we recognize that you may have additional questions. We recommend that you contact the campus offices directly if you have any questions about the resources they provide.
