Step 3: Determine your new student admission type.

• First Year  (Freshman)

  You have not registered, attended or received financial aid at any college, university, technical or proprietary school after graduation from high school.
  
  
  

• Transfer

  You have registered at or attended any college, university, technical or proprietary school since graduating from high school, but have not completed a bachelor's degree. You are still considered a transfer student even if you don't think your previous credits will transfer to Kent State.
  
  
  

• Guest
  

  A guest (transient) student may be defined as either:
  
  
  • A student enrolled at another institution who wishes to take courses at Kent State University. These students typically want to take classes at Kent State for one semester or over the summer and then return to their home institution.
    
    
  • A student who wants to take a limited number of courses for credit and has no interest in pursuing a degree. Oftentimes, a guest student wants to take courses for personal enrichment.
  
  
  

• Postundergraduate

  You have received a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited college or university other than Kent State and wish to take additional undergraduate courses.
  
  
  

• Dual Enrollment & Pre-College

  You are a high school student who wishes to participate in a pre-college program such as the Post-Secondary Enrollment Option or Dual Enrollment.
  
  
  

• Senior Guest

  You are an Ohio senior citizen 60 years of age and older and would like to take credit classes.
  
  
  

• Graduate

  You want to pursue a master's degree after completing your undergraduate degree.
