CENTER FOR ADULT AND
VETERAN SERVICES
ENROLLMENT MANAGEMENT AND STUDENT AFFAIRS
The Center for Adult and Veteran Services strives to reduce some of the stress and anxiety that comes with
balancing college, career and family responsibilities. “Leading adult learners toward success” is our office’s goal.
Whom Do We Serve?
We serve any student whose lifestyle does not fit the
usual 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. schedule of full-time credit
coursework while living on campus or more specifically:
•Undergraduate students 21 years of age and older
at the time of enrollment;
•Any student, regardless of age, who wishes to
enter Kent State University as an evening and/or
weekend undergraduate student;
•Nontraditional current or prospective students,
whose primary life roles/responsibilities exist
separate from the university and take precedence
over the role of student; and
•Veterans and active military personnel.
What Services Do We Provide?
•Pre-admission counseling for when you are not
sure where to start. Your first step will be to set
up a pre-admission counseling appointment. You
will meet with an advisor to discuss your plans
to start or complete a college education. During
your appointment, you will have the opportunity
to find out what programs Kent State University
offers, what the admissions process entails,
how to learn more about financial aid and what
services are available to get you oriented to the
campus. Appointments are available during the
day, evenings and some Saturdays. Contact us by
telephone or email for an appointment.
•Academic advising for general academic
advising concerns.
•Career guidance for the many adults who are in
a major life transition when they seek further
education. Counseling can help these students
adapt to the change.
•Help with university procedures and with finding
appropriate university resources.
•Advocacy for the adult student in other offices
and on university committees that plan programs
and activities that impact the students.
•Referrals to any offices or services on or off
campus the student may need.
