Upon receipt of your graduation application we will review your academic record and verify completion of degree requirements. We will send you written confirmation of remaining coursework and specify any areas needing follow-up.

During your graduation semester you will receive information from Commencement/University Ceremonies about the actual commencement ceremony and ordering caps and gowns.  For specific concerns regarding commencement please contact: Kelly Daw at (330) 672-2235 or you can visit the website at www.kent.edu/ksugraduation   Your application for graduation triggers all of the above actions, so please do not delay. 

A NOTE ABOUT YOUR DIPLOMA:  Please be aware that the student’s name that is officially registered with the university is the name that will be printed on your diploma. Also be aware that if you have “restricted” your personal information within the university, this information will be withheld and not listed in the commencement program or be released to the press. If you would like to remove your “restriction”, you will need to make the change yourself in FlashLine (flashline.kent.edu)prior to the end of your last semester. A name change requires presenting official documentation (marriage license) in person to the Registrar. Have questions? Call (330) 672-3131.
