Academic Policies & Forms
Forms Library
The forms library contains a collection of paper work and application forms for faculty, staff, and students (prospective and current). From application to registration to thesis and dissertation documents, scroll through the forms library to find the appropriate category and specific document.
Guide to Graduate Education
The guide contained policies and procedures applicable to the university’s graduate education community, from applying to a graduate program to graduating. Although most of the information appeared in the University Catalog and/or University Policy Register, this guide was intended to make graduate policies and procedures easily accessible to potential and current students, faculty, staff and administrators. Graduate College staff are in the process of collapsing information within this guide into a Graduate College Handbook. The Graduate College Handbook will be posted on this site later this fall. For questions, please email graduatecollege@kent.edu.

Program Development and Approval
