Residence Requirements

Residence refers to completion of the minimum of 30 credit hours required for the awarding of an academic degree by Kent State University. In this context, residence requirements do not refer to whether students live on campus.

Kent State University residence requirements for an undergraduate degree may be met at the Kent and/or any Regional Campus. For specific degree requirements, including special circumstances affecting residence, see the General Academic Requirements by college.

Study-abroad programs may be taken as part of the residence requirement.

Correspondence study will not count toward the hours of residence, but it will not invalidate residence requirements in progress.
