Kent State University regional campuses offer two courses to help students develop reading strategies to successfully complete college-level coursework — READ 00003 and READ 00006. A student placed into READ 00003 must take READ 00006 the following term. Both courses require a minimum C grade. Students who have taken the Accuplacer Classic or Next Generation at another institution within two years of their initial start date may opt to transfer that score to Kent State University.
