You can see our offering of programs for this semester through our live calendars. 

Also through our site, find info on our Veterans Day Commemoration, about our Veteran Career Initiative, or get details about Military-connected students.

If you're using military-connected benefits and are thinking of adding or dropping a class, send an email to cavs@kent.edu to let us know so we can adjust your benefit certification, if needed. If you have questions on how that add or drop may affect your benefits, please include that question in the email.  

Our office has a list of adult learner scholarships, and military-connected scholarships.

Kent State doesn't receive these scholarship rosters until just before the semester starts, so you should expect that money to be credited to your account within the first couple weeks of the semester.

Book money for Post 9/11 GI Bill users is typically deposited to your account sometime within the first two weeks of the semester. Call 1-888-GIBILL-1 to ask for more specific information on when you can expect to see that. If you haven't received your stipend, be sure you filled out an Intent of Enrollment form for this semester.

We typically certify your benefits before the start of the semester. Once we submit your benefits, you'll receive an automated email from Sarah Helmick with the subject line "Intent of Enrollment" and, once VA accepts that certification, they'll send you an email with the subject line "Confirmation - Enrollment Information Sent to VA". If you search your old emails and can't find either of these confirmations, email cavs@kent.edu to ask if you submitted an Intent of Enrollment form.

Students may also refer to their monthly stipend as a "B.A.H." You get paid at the beginning of the month for the previous month, so, for example, you should receive payment by March 7th for your February stipend. If you haven't received your stipend, be sure you filled out an Intent of Enrollment form for this semester. You may also want to call VA at 1-888-GIBILL-1 to ask when you can expect to get paid.

1. If you haven't already received a Certificate of Eligibility from VA, Activate your benefits. This is a one-time workflow, so you'll never need to do it
