Official Transcripts
Transcripts are considered official only if they arrive in a sealed envelope from a high school, college or university. Transcripts issued directly to the student will be accepted only if the envelope is unopened. Once the envelope seal has been broken by someone other than a university employee, the transcript becomes unofficial.

Official transcripts should be sent to the following address:

Office of Admissions
Kent State University Stark Campus
6000 Frank Avenue N.W.
North Canton, Ohio 44720-7548

Questions regarding transcripts should be addressed to Linda Harsh at 330-244-3254.
