What is the nature of your advising question/problem?

I need a permit to enroll in a class

• A permit is required if you do not meet the pre-requisites outlined in the course catalog or if the class is at maximum capacity.
• Email Maria Robertson, Academic Advisor at mrobert9@kent.edu to request a permit.
• Once the School has issued a permit, you are responsible for enrolling in the course via Flashline.

I need to change or add a major, a minor, or a concentration

• You can change your major, minor and/or concentration through Flashline.  Select Student/Resources/Advising and GPS. Select Student / Resources / Advising and GPS from the main menu. Then choose the "Change My Major" link.  Once the change has been approved, you will receive an email confirmation. If you have questions, please email your advisor to review the procedure.

• Check with OneStop or visit the School of Art scholarship page for information.

I need to make small adjustments to an existing schedule

I need to petition for a course exception or other consideration for specific courses

• Consult with your faculty advisor first for details on substitutions and an acceptable rationale.
• Then bring the completed substitution form to the School of Art office for a signature (drop off).
