Academic Advising

Meeting with an Academic Advisor is the key to success!

The Kent State Geauga and Twinsburg Academic Center advising team is ready to help you. Appointments are scheduled using KSU Navigate. See instructions below.

Required Advising

  • Freshmen and Sophomores are required to meet with an advisor every semester to schedule classes. Students will not be able to register for classes if they do not meet with an advisor.
  • New students must be admitted and have taken any required placement tests before meeting with an advisor. For more information, visit our Newly Admitted Students page. 
  • College Credit Plus (CCP) students need to request an appointment with Kellie Jones-Cochran or Matt Fink. For more information, visit our CCP page.
  • Students interested in the Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) must attend an information session before meeting with an advisor. For more information, visit our Nursing ADN page.
