Let's Talk

ARE YOU FEELING STRESSED ABOUT ...

  • Your course performance?
  • Your finances?
  • Your physical or emotional health?

If you're thinking you may want to withdraw from a course this semester, before you take action, let's talk. Kent State Stark has dedicated resources - for those exact reasons - to support you. We’re here for you because Flashes take care of Flashes. 


BE AWARE OF WITHDRAWAL DEADLINES

Know when the deadline is to withdrawal from courses. 

We will help you keep moving forward and we’ll do everything we can to help you graduate. 


YOUR STUDIES

If you’re struggling in your coursework or feeling overwhelmed by studying, before you withdraw, reach out to your instructor to discuss your difficulties and your progress.

Talk with an academic advisor to see what your options may be, including staying in the class, withdrawing, requesting an incomplete or taking the class pass/fail, if that’s an option for that specific course.

YOUR FINANCES

If you’re considering withdrawing because of financial concerns or due to a change in your family’s household income, Kent State Stark is here to help and can find possible solutions and options for your situation. 

Withdrawing from a course can impact your aid for the current term, could cause you to have a balance due, and can even impact your eligibility for aid in the future. It's important to always check with Student Financial Aid before you make any schedule adjustments.
