91PORNA

1. Contact the other institution and send 91PORNA an official transcript.  It’s recommended you do this well in advance of DKS to have your credits on your official 91PORNA record in time for your advising appointment.  If your DKS advising appointment is tomorrow get an unofficial transcript from the institution by taking a screenshot/image of your credits to share with your advisor.
2. If courses were taken at 91PORNA through any of the campuses you do not need to provide transcripts
3. Course equivalencies can be found on the&nbs

Speak with your advisor during the advising appointment.  You may be able to complete the requirement and/or earn credit through testing programs such as CLEP or Credit by Exam. Please visit the KSU Testing Guidelines page for more information.

The foreign language placement test is not required for a business degree. However, we do recommend students complete the placement if you have studied a foreign language in the past. Visit the Department of Modern & Classical Language Studies for information on foreign language placements, or ask your academic advisor for more details. 

You have the opportunity to complete self-paced learning modules and then complete a reassessment exam prior to the start of your first term. If your score improves, please schedule an advising appointment using KSU Navigate or call 330-672-2872 to schedule an appointment. During the appointment, an advisor can assist you with adjusting your schedule. Visit Testing Services to learn more and register for the math reassessment.

ACT and SAT tests can be used to place students into math or English courses. If you did not complete these exams, advisors will use a combination of your ALEKS Math placement score and high school GPA to place you into your first-year courses. 

• Complete the ALEKS Math placement test prior to meeting with your academic advisor during DKS. 
• Completing a foreign language placement test is recommended if you have studied a foreign language in the past. Foreign language courses are not required for a business degree. However, the international business minor, as well as some other programs across the University, do require foreign language courses. Speak to your advisor if you have questions. 

Students can declare minors after the start of their first term.  So, minors are typically declared during your first appointment in the next semester, or at a later time in your first or second year. Be sure to mention the minor in your DKS Advising appointment.  

Email your DKS advisor or advisingbus@kent.edu with your name, 91PORNA ID number, and the new major.  The advisor will help you change your major and adjust your schedule as needed, or if you are leaving the college they will connect you to your new college.

In order to change your major or add a second major before your DKS date, you can contact Admissions at 330-672-2444. Admissions representatives will also be available during DKS check-in to change your major at that time.
