Get Ready for Student Orientations

To help set you up for success at Kent State University, all new students must take ISO International Student Orientation (ISO), which has a two parts: a virtual course and in-person program.

1.  Complete the Online Orientation Program before you arrive.

Only students with a valid immigration document can participate in ISO.

Find out when you can start the hybrid ISO program.

 

2.  Register for your in-person Kent State Orientation Program.

Depending on your status, you will also need to take one of these programs when you arrive in Ohio.
