Parents & Family

Academic advisors at Kennesaw State University play a transformative role in the student experience through personalized and holistic strategies that promote each student's success. Through a collaborative relationship, we empower all students to take ownership of their education. We provide students with information about program requirements, coursework, campus resources, university policies and procedures, and career options. Embracing cross-campus collaboration, we work alongside faculty to help students become civically engaged, lifelong learners. We are fully committed to fostering a campus environment that respects and values the uniqueness and diversity of the students we serve.

The dates of the Academic Calendar are maintained by the Office of the Registrar and published each semester. 

Kennesaw State University has developed a robust, multi-layered approach to emergency notification. This system is designed to reach the Kennesaw State University students, faculty, and staff in a variety of ways with immediate emergency messaging. Kennesaw State University utilizes outdoor warning sirens, email notifications, text notifications, voice phone call notifications, a desktop override system, the Kennesaw State University webpage, and social media pages to provide emergency messages to our students, faculty, staff, visitors, and other community stakeholders. The goal of this system is to provide multiple points of communication to ensure that the entire Kennesaw State University community is provided with timely and pertinent emergency messaging.

Yes, all students, faculty and staff must have a permit to park in any KSU parking area, including off-site shuttle lots. KSU allows one vehicle per permit to be on campus at a time. If two vehicles are on campus at the same time, both vehicles will be considered in violation, and both will receive a citation. Visitors and anyone who does not have a parking permit must utilize a Visitor parking area and pay at the pay-per-plate station in that lot.
