As part of Kent State's network of seven regional campuses, Kent State Stark is an open-enrollment institution,
therefore, students who possess the minimum of a high school diploma or its equivalent, may enroll for classes. 
However, admission criteria does vary by major.

There is no deadline to apply for admission but we do encourage students to apply as early as possible. Info for HS Guidance Counselors

New students from high school should be applying for admission as early as Thanksgiving of their
senior year for admission for the fall semester.
