Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Appointments

 Freshman, Sophomore and Junior level students are required to meet with an advisor each semester until they reach Junior level status. Additionally, new students and students on academic probation are required to meet with an advisor before they can register for classes.  

Appointments are conducted in person in 304 White Hall or 110 Nixson Hall. Students can also meet with an advisor remotely via Microsoft Teams.

To schedule a advising appointment go to KSU Navigate. Please note, you can only make an appointment two weeks in advance. If you have issues making an advising appointment, contact the Vacca Office of Student Services (VOSS) at askehhs@kent.edu or 330.672.2862.

New students who have never met with their advisor may have a one-hour advising appointment for their initial/first appointment with the advisor assigned based on major.  After the initial one-hour advising appointment, most appointments thereafter will be 30 minutes in length.
