• Spring semesters typically begin the day after Martin Luther King Jr Day in January.

  • If applying between August and December, select to start in the Spring.

• Summer semesters typically begin on a day within the first full week of June and end mid- August.

  • If applying between January through mid-July, select to start in the Summer.

  • If applying between end of July and August, please contact Dr. Davison Mupinga (dmupinga@kent.edu), CTTE Program Coordinator, to discuss the appropriate semester selection. Note: If you do not plan to take the beginning courses that start in July, select to start in Fall.
