The Lucasville Riot after 30 Years
Panel discussion commemorating the 30th anniversary of Ohio's largest prison riot.
Dozens of Kent State alumni and long-time fans made their way to Albany for the team's first-round matchup with Indiana. Former players and the university's cheer team led a rockus gathering inside MVP Arena prior to tip-off.

What do I do if I have to add or drop a class? Will this affect my VA benefits?
If you're using military-connected benefits and are thinking of adding or dropping a class, send an email to cavs@kent.edu to let us know so we can adjust your benefit certification, if needed. If you have questions on how that add or drop may affect your benefits, please include that question in the email.
Do you have scholarships for students like me?
Our office has a list of adult learner scholarships, and military-connected scholarships.
When will I get the Ohio National Guard scholarship or the Ohio War Orphan scholarship?
Kent State doesn't receive these scholarship rosters until just before the semester starts, so you should expect that money to be credited to your account within the first couple weeks of the semester.
When will I get my book money?
Book money for Post 9/11 GI Bill users is typically deposited to your account sometime within the first two weeks of the semester. Call 1-888-GIBILL-1 to ask for more specific information on when you can expect to see that. If you haven't received your stipend, be sure you filled out an Intent of Enrollment form for this semester.
Did you certify my benefits yet?
We typically certify your benefits before the start of the semester. Once we submit your benefits, you'll receive an automated email from Sarah Helmick with the subject line "Intent of Enrollment" and, once VA accepts that certification, they'll send you an email with the subject line "Confirmation - Enrollment Information Sent to VA". If you search your old emails and can't find either of these confirmations, email cavs@kent.edu to ask if you submitted an Intent of Enrollment form.
When will I get my monthly stipend?
Students may also refer to their monthly stipend as a "B.A.H." You get paid at the beginning of the month for the previous month, so, for example, you should receive payment by March 7th for your February stipend. If you haven't received your stipend, be sure you filled out an Intent of Enrollment form for this semester. You may also want to call VA at 1-888-GIBILL-1 to ask when you can expect to get paid.
