Former Students
Former students: Are you returning to Kent State?
If you have taken classes at Kent State University in the past, you may not need to apply for admission (excludes College Credit Plus students).
Eligibility for reenrollment
Former Kent State University students wishing to return to the university are eligible for reenrollment if:
- you have been away from the university for more than one year
- you have not been dismissed from any Kent State campus
- you have not attended any other college or university since leaving Kent State
If you have been dismissed from any campus of Kent State University, you must apply for reinstatement.
If you have enrolled at any other college or university since leaving Kent State, you must reapply for admission as a transfer student.
If you are a former Kent State University student or graduate who has not attended another college or university since you were previously enrolled, you do not need to reapply.
Applicants who have been convicted of a criminal offense or have charges pending against them must also complete a Personal Explanation Statement.

Reinstatement Process
The reinstatement process must be followed for any former student who has been academically dismissed from any campus of Kent State University.
Before reinstatement can be considered, a student who is dismissed should expect to be away from the university for a minimum of 12 consecutive months. (This is not necessarily the college from which the student was dismissed.)
