Get Ready for Your First Class
Once you're registered, take some time to get familiar with the tools, resources and information you'll need as a Kent State student.
Know Where You're Going
If you're taking classes on a Kent State campus, review campus maps and see parking and transportation information before your first day.
Register for Your Classes
After meeting with your Kent State academic advisor, you'll be ready to register for your approved courses.
Registration is completed through FlashLine. Kent State's Registration & Records resources provide instructions for registering for classes, along with information about registration dates and deadlines.
Meet With Your Academic Advisor
College Credit Plus students are required to meet with a Kent State academic advisor before scheduling courses.
During your appointment, you and your advisor will discuss your academic goals and choose courses that fit your needs. Your courses must also fit your middle or high school schedule and be approved by your school counselor.
When can I schedule my advising appointment?
New CCP students can schedule an advising appointment after completing the new student orientation in FlashLine.
Complete CCP Orientation
Your online orientation is offered through Canvas, Kent State’s online learning platform used for courses, assignments and other academic activities.
Here’s what to watch for:
Start Checking Your Kent State Email
Once you're admitted, Kent State will begin sending important CCP information to your Kent State email account.
Check it regularly for information about orientation, advising, registration and other steps you'll need to complete before classes begin.
Tip: Continue checking the personal email address you used on your CCP application as you complete the admission process, too.

Follow the instructions you receive after admission to establish your account and log in to FlashLine, Kent State's student portal.
You'll use FlashLine to access important student information and services throughout your time at Kent State.
