You will find important information in our student portal, FlashLine. You can access FlashLine from any Kent State website by clicking on the lightning bolt icon in the top navigation bar. To login for the first time, select First time user? Start here.

Once you're logged into FlashLine, you can view your Student Checklist from the My Lists button in the top navigation bar.

Your Student Checklist will identify items you need to complete like placement testing and applying for financial aid. Follow the instructions listed in your Student Checklist in FlashLine.

Depending on your student type, we will email you instructions on your next steps, so check your Kent State email frequently.

New first-year students must attend a KSU Advising & Registration session, during which you’ll become oriented to the campus, learn more about financial aid, review your placement test results and schedule your first-semester classes. All placement testing must be completed prior to attending.  

You will receive an invitation to register for KSU Advising & Registration at the email address you provided on your application for admission. 

New transfer students can make an academic advising appointment through the Navigate App
