Arms control, disarmament and non-proliferation in NATO
NATO has a long-standing commitment to an active policy in arms control, disarmament and non-proliferation. The Alliance continues to pursue its security objectives through these policies, while at the same time ensuring that its collective defence obligations are met and the full range of its missions fulfilled.
Allies participate actively in international arms control, disarmament and non-proliferation treaties and agreements. NATO itself does not belong to any treaty as an entity but it continues to encourage its members, partners and other countries to implement their international obligations fully.
NATO's policies in these fields cover consultation and practical cooperation in a wide range of areas. These include conventional arms control; nuclear policy issues; promoting mine action and combating the spread of small arms and light weapons (SALW), munitions and man-portable air defence systems (MANPADS); preventing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and developing and harmonising capabilities to defend against chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) threats.
Arms control and disarmament are key elements of the Euro-Atlantic security architecture. Over the past two decades, Allies have significantly contributed to more stable international relations at lower levels of military forces and armaments, through effective and verifiable arms control agreements.
At the Bucharest Summit in 2008, Allied leaders took note of a report on raising NATO's profile in the fields of arms control, disarmament and non-proliferation. As part of a broader response to security issues, they agreed that NATO should continue to contribute to international efforts in these fields and keep these issues under active review. Subsequently these commitments were reaffirmed in the Strasbourg/Kehl Declaration in 2009 and the Lisbon Declaration in 2010.
While often used together, the terms arms control, disarmament and non-proliferation do not mean the same thing. In fact, experts usually consider them to reflect associated, but different areas in the same discipline or subject.
Arms control
Arms control is the broadest of the three terms and generally refers to mutually agreed upon restraints or controls (usually between states) on the research, manufacture, or the levels of and/or locales of deployment of troops and weapons systems.
Disarmament, often inaccurately used as a synonym for arms control, refers to the act of eliminating or abolishing weapons (particularly offensive arms) either unilaterally (in the hope that one's example will be followed) or reciprocally.
For the Alliance, "non-proliferation refers to all efforts to prevent proliferation from occurring, or should it occur, to reverse it by any other means than the use of military force."1 Non-proliferation usually applies to weapons of mass destruction (WMD), which the Alliance defines as a weapon that is "capable of a high order of destruction and of being used in such a manner as to destroy people, infrastructure or other resources on a large scale."
WMD proliferation
Attempts made by state or non-state actors to develop, acquire, manufacture, possess, transport, transfer or use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons or devices and their means of delivery or related material, including precursors, without prejudice to the rights and obligations of the States Parties to the following agreements: the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and on Their Destruction (CWC) and the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production and Stockpiling of Bacteriological (Biological) and Toxin Weapons and on Their Destruction (BTWC).1. According to NATO's Comprehensive, Strategic-Level Policy for Preventing the Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) and Defending Against Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) Threats.
The ways in which NATO effectively participates
NATO contributes to arms control, disarmament and non-proliferation in many ways: through its policies, its activities and through its member countries.
Conventional forces
Allies have reduced their conventional forces significantly from Cold War levels. Allies remain committed to the regime of the Conventional Forces in Europe (CFE) Treaty. As a response to Russia`s unilateral "suspension" of its Treaty obligations in 2007, NATO CFE Allies have ceased implementing certain Treaty obligations vis-à-vis Russia in November 2011, while still continuing to implement fully their obligations with respect to all other CFE states parties. Allies stated that these decisions are fully reversible should Russia return to full implementation. At the Chicago Summit in May 2012, Allies reiterated their commitment to conventional arms control and expressed their determination to preserve, strengthen and modernise the conventional arms control regime in Europe, based on key principles and commitments.
Nuclear forces
NATO is committed to the goal of creating the conditions for a world without nuclear weapons – but reconfirms that, as long as there are nuclear weapons in the world, NATO will remain a nuclear Alliance. However, it will do so at the lowest possible level and with an appropriate mix of nuclear and conventional forces. The nuclear weapons committed to NATO have been reduced by more than 95 per cent since the height of the Cold War. NATO nuclear weapon states have also reduced their nuclear arsenals and ceased production of highly enriched uranium or plutonium for nuclear weapons. All Allies are parties to the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty (NPT) and view it as an essential foundation for international peace and security.
Armed forces
Through its cooperation framework with non-member countries, the Alliance supports defence and security sector reform, emphasising civilian control of the military, accountability, and restructuring of military forces to lower, affordable and usable levels.
Small arms and light weapons (SALW), and mine action
Allies are working with non-member countries and other international organisations to support the full implementation of the UN Programme of Action to Prevent, Combat and Eradicate the Illicit Trade in SALW in All its Aspects.
NATO also supports mine action activities. All NATO member countries, with the exception of the United States, are party to the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty, often referred to as the Ottawa Convention.
NATO's Partnership for Peace (PfP) Trust Fund Policy was initiated in 2000 to assist countries in fulfilling their Ottawa Convention obligations to dispose of stockpiles of anti-personnel landmines. The policy was later expanded to include efforts to implement the UN Programme of Action on SALW. More recently, the Trust Fund Policy has also been expanded to include projects addressing the consequences of defence reform.
NATO/Partnership Trust Funds may be initiated by a NATO member or partner country to tackle specific, practical issues linked to these areas. They are funded by voluntary contributions from individual NATO Allies, partners, contact countries and organisations.
Weapons of mass destruction (WMD)
"With due respect to the primarily military mission of the Alliance, NATO will work actively to prevent the proliferation of WMD by State and non-State actors, to protect the Alliance from WMD threats should prevention fail, and be prepared for recovery efforts should the Alliance suffer a WMD attack or CBRN event, within its competencies and whenever it can bring added value, through a comprehensive political, military and civilian appoach."2
NATO stepped up its activities in this area in 1999 with the launch of the WMD Initiative and the establishment of a WMD Centre at NATO Headquarters the following year. NATO Allies have also taken a comprehensive set of practical initiatives to defend their populations, territory and forces against potential WMD threats. As part of NATO's outreach to Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council (EAPC) partners, Mediterranean Dialogue countries, Istanbul Cooperation Initiative countries and other partner countries, the NATO Conference on Arms Control, Disarmament and Non-Proliferation is the only annual conference, sponsored by an international organisation, dealing with all types and aspects of weapons of mass destruction.
Of particular importance is NATO's outreach to and cooperation with the United Nations (UN), the European Union (EU), other regional organisations and multilateral initiatives that address WMD proliferation.2. NATO's Comprehensive, Strategic-Level Policy for Preventing the Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) and Defending Against Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) Threats, Para 4.
The evolution of NATO's contribution to arms control, disarmament and non-proliferation
Active policies in arms control, disarmament and non-proliferation have been an inseparable part of NATO's contribution to security and stability since the Harmel Report of 1967.
The Harmel Report
This report formed the basis for NATO's security policy. It outlined two objectives: maintaining a sufficient military capacity to act as an effective and credible deterrent against aggression and other forms of pressure while seeking to improve the East-West relations. The Alliance's objectives in arms control have been tied to the achievement of both aims. It is therefore important that defence and arms control policies remain in harmony and are mutually reinforcing.
The Comprehensive Concept of Arms Control and Disarmament
In May 1989, NATO adopted a Comprehensive Concept of Arms Control and Disarmament, which allowed the Alliance to move forward in the sphere of arms control. It addressed the role of arms control in East-West relations, the principles of Alliance security and a number of guiding principles and objectives governing Allied policy in the nuclear, conventional and chemical fields of arms control.
It clearly set out the interrelationships between arms control and defence policies and established the overall conceptual framework within which the Alliance sought progress in each area of its arms control agenda.
The Alliance's Strategic Concept
NATO's continued adherence to this policy was reaffirmed in the 2010 Strategic Concept (with regard to nuclear weapons):
"It [This Strategic Concept] commits NATO to the goal of creating the conditions for a world without nuclear weapons – but reconfirms that, as long as there are nuclear weapons in the world, NATO will remain a nuclear Alliance."
The Strategic Concept, adopted at the Lisbon Summit in November 2010 continues, on a more general note:
"NATO seeks its security at the lowest possible level of forces. Arms control, disarmament and non-proliferation contribute to peace, security and stability, and should ensure undiminished security for all Alliance members. We will continue to play our part in reinforcing arms control and in promoting disarmament of both conventional weapons and weapons of mass destruction, as well as non-proliferation efforts".
Defence and Deterrence Posture Review
The NATO Defence and Deterrence Posture Review (DDPR), agreed at the Chicago Summit in 2012, addresses issues of arms control, disarmament and non-proliferation. The DDPR document underscores: "The Alliance is resolved to seek a safer world for all and to create the conditions for a world without nuclear weapons in accordance with the goals of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, in a way that promotes international stability, and is based on the principle of undiminished security for all. " It also repeats that as long as nuclear weapons exist, NATO will remain a nuclear Alliance.
The Special Advisory and Consultative Arms Control, Disarmament and Non-Proliferation Committee (ADNC) was established on the basis of DDPR agreement.
Summit declarations
Allied leaders have reiterated this commitment in declarations made at previous summit meetings held in Washington (1999), Istanbul (2004), Riga (2006), Bucharest (2008), Strasbourg-Kehl (2009), Lisbon (2010), and Chicago (2012). At the Strasbourg-Kehl Summit NATO Heads of State and Government endorsed NATO's Comprehensive, Strategic-Level Policy for Preventing the Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) and Defending Against Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) Threats.
The subject of arms control is also embedded in the 1997 NATO-Russia Founding Act and in the declaration made by Allied and Russian leaders at the 2002 Rome Summit, which set up the NATO-Russia Council.
NATO bodies dealing with these issues
A number of NATO bodies oversee different aspects of Alliance activities in the fields of arms control, disarmament and non-proliferation. Overall political guidance is provided by the North Atlantic Council, NATO's highest political decision-making body. More detailed oversight of activities and policy in specific areas is provided by a number of bodies, including the High Level Task Force (HLTF) on Conventional Arms Control, the Special Advisory and Consultative Arms Control, Disarmament and Non-Proliferation Committee (ADNC), the Nuclear Planning Group High Level Group (NPG/HLG), the Verification Coordinating Committee (VCC), the Committee on Proliferation (CP) in politico-military as well as in defence format.
Within NATO's cooperative frameworks, the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council (in particular, the Ad Hoc Working Group on Small Arms and Light Weapons and Mine Action) and the NATO-Russia Council (in particular, the Arms Control, Disarmament, Non-Proliferation (ADN) format) have central roles. (Note: work in the NATO-Russia Council is suspended.)

Have you tried deactivating your other active plugins to see if there is a conflict?
Posted 31 July 2012 - 06:12 PM
Again, my other themes (at least 10 of them) all work fine. The problem is only with Whitehouse Pro. If you can't think of anything else, I will give that a shot.
Posted 31 July 2012 - 07:20 PM
Are you getting any errors? Could you explain in a bit more detail, what happens when you try to use the cache plugin? Thanks.
Posted 31 July 2012 - 09:35 PM
There are no error messages. Here is a screenshot of the broken WHP theme.
Posted 31 July 2012 - 11:16 PM
It just looks like the theme isn't loading. Any help?
Posted 01 August 2012 - 10:54 AM
Hi, I just installed WP Super Cache to a WhiteHouse Pro test site and I had a similar issue to you (basically the site looking odd). All I did was delete the cache and refreshed my test site and WhiteHouse Pro looked fine. Have you tried the above ?
Posted 01 August 2012 - 02:10 PM
Well, I do have ONE of my three blogs using WHP that look normal, but two of them are still not.
Posted 01 August 2012 - 02:47 PM
Well, I guess then that it's not the theme that is incompatible or having a problem. There is something funky going on with my install that isn't working.
Posted 01 August 2012 - 02:57 PM
Can you describe the funkiness of your install even further? What's indicating that the install isn't working properly?

Josh Taylor has 41 wins as a starting quarterback at New Bern High. The senior took over the position midway through his freshman season, and has guided the Bears to three appearances in eastern regional finals.
He will finally get a chance to play for a state title.
Taylor ran for two touchdowns to lead the Bears to a 23-6 win over Scotland County in Friday's 4-A state semifinals at Caruso-Coates Stadium.
The Bears (14-0) will play Porter Ridge (13-1) for their second state title in five seasons. The championship game will be on Friday at Kenan Stadium in Chapel Hill at 7:30 p.m.
"We finally got past the eastern regionals," Taylor said. "We are pretty excited to be in the state championship. It's not only about getting there, but it's about winning it too."
In Taylor's sophomore season, in 2010, New Bern fell to Durham Hillside, 12-7, in the 4-A Eastern Finals. Last year, the Bears lost to Scotland County, 61-28.
In his final season, finally playing a regional championship game in New Bern, Taylor racked up 114 rushing yards.
"I think in my sophomore year, that was all about experience," Taylor said. "I think I was a little spoiled in my sophomore year. The seniors really see the game differently, and realize how close we were the past couple years. We really had to get the win here."
New Bern's last state championship game ended with a 28-17 win over Charlotte Independence in the 2007 4-AA state finals at Wake Forest University.
The Bears advance to the state title game for the fifth time since 2002.
"We've been trying and trying, and we finally succeeded," said senior wide receiver Bra'lon Cherry. "This wasn't like a revenge game. We were just trying to get to the state championship."
Taylor's 53-yard run gave New Bern a 7-0 lead in the first quarter. A safety extended the Bears' lead to 9-0.
Scotland County quarterback Jaylend Ratliff answered with a 33-yard touchdown run, and New Bern went to halftime with a 9-6 advantage.
Taylor added a 34-yard touchdown run in the third quarter, and Cody Purdie put the finishing touches on the victory with a three-yard touchdown run with 4:31 remaining in the game.
"The support out here was crazy. I haven't seen this many people at Caruso-Coates ever," Taylor said. "I think that got us fired up.
"I felt like we were the better football team and it showed on the scoreboard."
New Bern's offense gained 360 yards, including 227 on the ground. Senior running back Jachin Watkins ran for 112 yards.
The defense forced two fumbles, including one at their own 2-yard line.
"These guys have worked hard and done everything we've asked them to do," New Bern coach Bobby Curlings said. "I'm so happy for them to get a chance to go play in the state championship game,"

CONCORD — Charlotte Motor Speedway would be the center of the extreme sports universe if the venue lands the bid to host ESPN's X Games in 2014-16. However, those close to the process say it would have a much broader reach.
"I think this is a huge opportunity for CMS, North Carolina, South Carolina and the Southeast. If we're fortunate enough to land the bid, we'll have a worldwide spotlight on our area," CMS communications manager Jonathan Coleman said.
"That's from CMS, to the Whitewater Center, to the barbecue. When you watch the X Games, it's not just the activities," Coleman said. "They really do go out in the community and find stories and find the flavor of the region."
Charlotte is in competition to host the games with Chicago, Detroit and Austin, Tex. The official announcement should come from ESPN later this month during the X Games in Munich.
"They came and visited (CMS) last week. Austin is their final visit this week, and then they'll be crunching numbers and figure out whatever formula works on their end," Coleman said.
Two of the most decorated athletes in the history of action sports support Charlotte's bid, as they recently told CMS officials.
"Charlotte is the motor racing capital of the world," said NASCAR driver Travis Pastrana, who has 17 total X Games medals. "Coming to Charlotte would take action sports to a whole new level. These facilities are amazing. They've got everything in place… I think this is just a perfect fit."
Dave Mirra is the X Games' most decorated athlete with 24 total medals.
"Charlotte is an unreal city and would make an awesome host for X Games considering it's in my backyard," said Mirra, who's won on everything from a BMX bike to a high-powered rally cross car. "I've been proud to call North Carolina my home for more than 10 years."
Both Pastrana and Mirra were on hand when CMS hosted Global Rally Cross – an X Games event - in May, 2012. The track is slated to host another Global Rally Cross in Sept., according to Coleman.
Lenny Batycki, a former BMX racer also working to bring the X Games to Charlotte, believes this area is a perfect fit for the biggest event in action sports. Batycki is a Belmont Abbey alumnus.
"These are the games of the new generation. If we want the brightest and best young minds coming into the area, this is a fantastic way to attract them," said Batycki, host of Premier Radio Network's "At the Track." "If these kids see our area as hip, trendy and cool, it may lead them to develop their lives and families here.
"There's a positive vibe in this area already. There is a tremendous BMX following with Hornets Nest in Charlotte and the Gastonia track and big pockets of skateboarders."

Onslow County's combat wounded recently celebrated two substantial events — and they're hoping one will benefit the other.
The local Beirut Memorial Chapter 642 of the Military Order of the Purple Heart was inducted into the Jacksonville-Onslow Chamber of Commerce as its first non-profit veteran's organization. Following their ribbon cutting, the chapter announced they were the recipients of the 2013 National Recruiting Award for the third year in a row — a first for a Purple Heart chapter.
"It's amazing how many people come up to us at an event or when we set up a table and they say they didn't know we are here," said Grant Beck, the chapter's commander. "Hopefully, being part of the chamber means we'll get a little more exposure in town and be able to help more veterans."
The primary concern of the order is to look out and care for combat wounded veterans. While the local chapter specializes in dealing with wounded vets, they can guide and refer non-wounded veterans to other veteran service organizations who can help, according to Beck.
"We are also hoping that with our increased exposure in town we will have more Purple Heart recipients get involved with the chapter," said Beck, 72, of Jacksonville. "We'll do anything we can to get more help for our combat wounded veterans. After all, they've earned it."
The chapter has veteran service officers who are certified to assist veterans with submitting claims to the Department of Veterans Affairs and assisting combat wounded veterans through the "red tape" that comes with filing to be awarded their Purple Hearts, which can sometimes take over two years — a wait time that is unsatisfactory, according to Beck.
"The good news is that right now we are the second largest chapter in the country, but the bad news is that we're the second largest chapter in the country," Beck said. "That means we have had an extremely large number of people killed or wounded. …We're trying to do everything we can do to grow the chapter and get more of the modern generation involved. They may not need us now, but down the road they may need our assistance."
Recruiting is about giving the combat wounded a place to belong and letting them know their sacrifice isn't forgotten, said John Cooney, the chapter adjutant.
"Getting our first national recruiting award was a big boost in morale for the chapter," said Cooney, 72, of Jacksonville. "Getting it for a third time is truly unique, and it just means all of our hard work is out there. ...It's also a sobering feeling thinking about how many are being wounded on the battlefield."
Many of the chapter members have gotten out of the military and now reside across the country but are still involved locally. Others are currently deployed overseas, meaning that only 150 of the roughly 700 members are currently local, according to Cooney.
"Being a Vietnam era veteran myself, we came back with nothing for us," Cooney said. "We want to make sure that today's veterans have all of the resources they have earned."
For those interested and eligible, a lifetime membership in the Military Order of the Purple Heart costs $50, with $20 paid by the Beirut chapter. In order to join, the Purple Heart recipient must present a copy of his or her Marine Online awards page or the endorsement letter for their Purple Heart Certificate. Monthly meetings are held at 1923 Lejeune Blvd. in the Military Relocator building on the second Tuesday of every month at 7 p.m. For more information, contact John Cooney at 910-455-1353 or 910-381-1353.

More like an intentional exaggeration to illustrate my point. Also, I am not entirely sure the officials wouldn't have called Dwight/Pau/Hill/Sacre for a flagrant if any of them did the same thing. Nonetheless, it was WAY out of place for a PRE-SEASON game. If I were on the team, I would have put Kanter on his as...um, behind, like Jason Smith (of the Hornets) did with Blake Griffin last season.

I order the place cards to match the favor tags that I already got and LOVE both!! They are perfect. I loved that it was easy to design and easy to switch back and forth between colors to see what they would look like. I also loved that you HAD to approve the design before you could order it. I received them very quickly also. Thank you!!!
Lovely invites
I ordered my invitations from MagnetStreet. I received them in about 1 week. They looked fantastic!! It was really easy to personalize them and the designs were beautiful. I'm so happy with the final product!!
Excellent quality!
My place cards and favour tags were shipped to me in less than 2 weeks and the quality was even better than I thought it would be. They are a thick card stock that will stand up nicely. The colour was true to how it looked while I was designing them.

Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX), Chairman of the Joint Economic Committee, today released the following statement:
"I am saddened," Brady said, "at the passing of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher."
"Mrs. Thatcher, as she liked to be called, brought Britain back from the brink of financial ruin. She restored Britain's confidence and enabled Britain to play a role of significant leadership in the world."
"She demonstrated for all to see how, together, a sound currency and policies that spur economic growth can restore prosperity to a great nation."
"The people of the United States have lost a great friend. My deepest sympathies go to her family and the people of the United Kingdom to whom she provided such magnificent leadership."

Advising FAQs
How do I?... Frequently Asked Questions
by College of Arts and Sciences Undergraduates
JUMP TO: Advising, Classes & Course Related, Dates & Deadlines, Employment, Internships, Financial, Graduation, Locations and Contact Information, Majors & Minors, Scheduling, Student Life, Solve a Problem Not Covered Heretofore
Know when I can reach an advisor?
A: College advisors work 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. (regular business hours) with a lunch break from noon to 1:00 p.m. During these hours, advisors are available by appointment, email, or phone.
Find out when walk-in advising sessions are scheduled?
A: Walk-in advising is held the week before classes start and during the first week of the semester, on a first come, first served basis. For short 5 minute questions, "Quick Question" advising is available throughout the semester without an appointment.
Schedule an advising appointment?
A: You can set up an appointment online or by calling our reception desk at 330-672-2062. Visit our website at http://www.kent.edu/CAS/undergraduate/advising/index.cfm to make an appointment. Click on the link, "Make an Advising Appointment" for either the main office or the Learning Communities advisor (if you are in the Residential College in Wright Hall). Once you are in the appointment system, answer all of the questions, click continue, click on the blue date of your choice, click "OPEN" next to the time you choose, fill in your information (be sure to enter your entire email address), and include a brief description explaining your advising needs. Click "SUBMIT" for confirmation. A reminder notice will be sent to your Kent State email address.
Cancel an advising appointment?
A: The reminder notice you received via email when you scheduled your Advising appointment has a CANCELATION link that will allow you to cancel your Advising appointment. You can also cancel an advising appointment, by calling our office at 330-672-2062 during business hours, preferably at least 24 hours in advance of the appointment.
Find out who my faculty advisor is?
A: Contact the Department or office in which your major is housed, and they will give you the contact name of a faculty advisor. You can also find contact information for faculty advisors online at http://www.kent.edu/CAS/undergraduate/advising/ .
Know what the difference is between my professional academic advisor and my faculty advisor?
A: The professional (College) academic advisor is available for questions on University policies and procedures, College and University requirements (e.g., LER, Kent CORE), and feedback on program/course schedules. The faculty advisor is the primary expert on major and minor programs; s/he can recommend courses to take, internships or research opportunities, and career/graduate school advice. Please call the College office if you are not sure who to contact for help.
Bring someone to my advising appointment?
^ back to top
A: Advising appointments are one-on-one (student and advisor). Federal law (FERPA) considers the student the "holder" of all college academic records. A student's academic information will not be shared with anyone else outside the university, including parents or a spouse. The student should expect to meet alone with an advisor, and directly share their concerns, if any, with College staff. If a student files a FERPA waiver, the parent who has been granted access may request information from the student's record in writing and s/he will receive a written response in return. A student's academic situation will not be discussed with a parent either over the phone or in person.. A student must request a FERPA waiver in writing and file the form with the Registrar's office, if they wish to override this law. Visitors accompanying students are welcome to wait in our lobby area until the advising session is concluded.
Study abroad/away?
A: For information go to http://www.kent.edu/educationabroad/index.cfm
What is the additional cost to my tuition if I take more than 17 credit hours (overload fee/tuition plateau) in 2012?
A: Students (Ohio residents and out-of-state) will be charged $440 per credit hour for all enrolled hours above the full-time tuition range.
What is the additional cost to my tuition if I take more than 16 credit hours (overload fee) in 2013?
A: Starting in the Fall 2013 semester, a flat rate will be applied to students taking between 11 – 16 credit hours. An additional $440 per credit hour is assessed for each credit hour enrolled above 16.
I wish to take more than 18 credit hours and I don't have the GPA for an automatic overload (When do I use the Overload form?)
A: Students will need to fill out the Request for Overload form and submit it to the undergraduate advising office in the College (105 Bowman Hall) for review. The form can be found at the Undergraduate Advising website at: http://www.kent.edu/advising/selfhelp/documents.cfm
Apply to take classes at another institution and receive KSU credit for them (do transient coursework)?
A: Make an appointment with a college advisor. College policy ordinarily does not allow a student to do coursework at another university/college if they are in their last 30 hours at KSU. Approval to do this (transient coursework) must be obtained PRIOR to taking the course(s). Kent State University students who wish to take coursework at another accredited institution of higher education must receive the prior approval of the department at KSU housing the equivalent coursework, as well as the academic dean of the appropriate unit if the student intends to apply this coursework toward the Kent State University degree program. Transient work by students who are on probation, may be restricted by the student's college. All credits granted for transient work will be translated into semester hours. Grades received for transient work are not transferred; only credit hours are transferred. Generally, credit for non-remedial courses in which students have earned a minimum C (2.0) at an accredited school (as determined by the Transfer Center) will be considered for transfer. However, transfer credit earned fall 2005 and later from a regionally accredited Ohio college or university will be awarded for all non-remedial courses in which students have earned a minimum D (1.00) grade.
Students are reminded that no more than 18 semester hours of transient work may be approved. Approvals for transient attendance are valid for one term only (quarter, semester, etc.) at other institutions and are subject to all restrictions of the dean of their college.
Know what courses are upper division?
A: Upper division courses start with a three or four (30000, 40000).
Test out of a class (credit by exam)?
A: Visit the Registrar's website at : http://www.kent.edu/registrar/info/cbe.cfm. . Be aware that many courses do not allow credit by exam.
Access my KAPS report (for catalog years prior to 2010)?
A: Log into Flashline and select the "Student Tools and Courses" tab. Select "KAPS" under the Graduation Planning System (GPS) list. Your KAPS report will appear in a new window.

Be sure to select "Open All Sections" after the report window opens.

Prepare for a long term absence from the University?
A: If a student is anticipating a long term absence due to health reasons while taking courses, they should contact all of their instructors, provide documentation to each, and assess with their instructors the scenarios of taking an incomplete in a course vs. withdrawing. The timeline of the semester may impact eligibility for either of these options. For information regarding class Withdrawals (and Incompletes) see the university catalog at http://www.kent.edu/catalog/2012/info/policies/grade/ and http://www.kent.edu/registrar/info/course_withdrawal.cfm. For information regarding the Incomplete policy, please also visit page 8 of this document.
Transfer to another university?
A: Contact the school you hope to attend and follow the procedures/requirements that they have put in place. The destination institution is your first point of contact.
Exit KSU?
^ back to top
A: Students on financial aid who wish to exit should visit the financial aid web-site at http://www.kent.edu/financialaid/exitloancounseling.cfm. If a student needs to exit due to Military call to duty, see http://www.kent.edu/registrar/info/military_callup.cfm, otherwise, there is no process required for exiting other than withdrawing from classes.

One other option is to choose a different section of the course, or to select an alternative course.
Find out what a prerequisite/test score error is when trying to register, and why it is preventing me from adding a class?
A: If you are receiving this message it is likely that you have not completed the necessary prerequisites for this class. Consult the Course Descriptions in FlashLine to determine if you have taken the appropriate prerequisites for the course. If you have, you should contact the department that offers the class – they may issue a permit which will allow you to then add the course.
Register for classes at a regional campus, if I am currently attending the Kent campus?
A: You do not need to apply for admission to the regional campus. KSU is an eight-campus system; when you register for the next semester's courses, select your intended regional campus, rather than the Kent campus. You should also contact the Student Service office of the regional campus to find out information about parking, tuition, and financial aid. If you are currently living in a residence hall on the Kent campus, you should contact Residence Services if you will not be returning in the future.
Return to Kent State after I have been away for a few semesters?
A: If you have not attended another college or university during your time away, contact the Registrar at 330-672-3131 to reactivate your enrollment. If you have attended another institution during your time away, you will need to reapply through Admissions as a transfer student; see http://www.kent.edu/admissions/undergraduate/transfer/index.cfm.
Register to take more undergraduate courses if I already have a bachelor's degree?
A: Visit the Admissions web site for more information regarding Post-Undergraduate status: http://www.kent.edu/admissions/undergraduate/post-undergraduate.cfm
Find out what a course withdrawal is, and how withdrawal affects me?
A: We recommend that you contact an academic advisor if you are contemplating withdrawing from a course. Please also visit the Registrar's office web site at http://www.kent.edu/registrar/info/course_withdrawal.cfm.
Withdraw from my class?
A: We recommend that you contact an academic advisor if you are contemplating course withdrawal. Also visit the Registrar's office web site at http://www.kent.edu/registrar/info/course_withdrawal.cfm.
Request an Incomplete for a class?
^ back to top
A: A student needs to meet with the course instructor to determine if they qualify for an Incomplete. The process includes the completion of the paper "Incomplete Mark form." The administrative mark of IN (Incomplete) may be given to students (undergraduates who are currently passing and graduate students who are currently earning a C or better grade) and are unable to complete the required work between the course withdrawal deadline and the end of classes due to extenuating circumstances. The time line shall be adjusted as appropriate for summer sessions and flexibly scheduled courses. Appropriate documentation is generally required to support the extenuating circumstance. The student must initiate the request for the Incomplete mark from the instructor, and it is the responsibility of the student to arrange to make up the incomplete work. Incomplete grades must be made up within one semester (not including summer sessions) for undergraduate students and one calendar year for graduate students. Instructors are required to complete and submit an Incomplete Mark Form to the department chair at the time grades are assigned. This form includes justification for awarding the Incomplete, describes the work to be completed for the course and specifies the grade to be assigned if the work is not completed (default grade). A copy of the Incomplete Mark Form is provided to the student. Incomplete grades will not be counted in the computation of grade point averages until the work is completed, at which time an appropriate grade will be assigned based on the instructor's evaluation of the work submitted and a new grade point average computed. Unless the course is completed or an extension is granted, Incomplete grades will automatically lapse to the grade designated on the Incomplete Mark Form at the end of one semester for undergraduate students and at the end of one year for graduate students.
Apply (be admitted to) to Kent State University?
A: You can apply online at http://www.kent.edu/admissions/apply/index.cfm.
Find out about campus closures and emergencies?
A: Flash ALERTS is Kent State's official emergency text notification system to alert subscribers of critical information no matter what time it is or where they are in the world. Flash ALERTS expands the university's ability to send critical news and information to the university community during campus emergencies. You can sign up to receive Flash ALERTS by visiting http://www.kent.edu/studentlife/safety/flashalerts/index.cfm.
Get involved with department clubs?
^ back to top
A: Visit http://www.kent.edu/studentlife/activities/index.cfm for more information, or contact your major department at: http://www.kent.edu/academics/colleges-and-schools.cfm
Transfer to another university?
A: Make contact with the destination institution.
Apply for "Academic Forgiveness"?
A: Purpose: The Academic Forgiveness Policy pertains only to former Kent State students returning to the university as undergraduate students after a significant absence and prior to earning any degree at any institution. It provides them an opportunity to have their academic standing reflect their increased maturity and readiness, and improved level of academic performance gained since the interruption of studies at Kent State. Specifically, once the returning students have demonstrated the ability to sustain a satisfactory level of academic performance following their return, all grades of C-, D+, D, F, NF, SF, M and U earned during the previous Kent State enrollment will be disregarded in the cumulative calculations of hours attempted, quality points earned and grade point average.
Eligibility: The Academic Forgiveness Policy is available to any Kent State University student who has not been enrolled for a period of at least one calendar year (12 months).
Procedure: Any student who has not been enrolled at Kent State University for at least 12 consecutive months may request information on the Academic Forgiveness Policy and an Application for Academic Forgiveness form from student's academic advising office. Once the acknowledgement portion of the form is completed, the student's records will be reviewed by the appropriate dean at the conclusion of each subsequent term. After returning to Kent State, a student must complete a minimum of 12 graded credit hours with a minimum 2.000 GPA to be eligible for academic forgiveness. If the student meets these conditions, has completed the Application for Academic Forgiveness form, and requests to have the policy applied, the following steps will be taken with regard to the student's academic record:
- All courses in which grades of C-, D+, D, F, NF, SF, M or U were received in the previous period of Kent State enrollment will be retained on the academic transcript with the notation of an "E" in the repeat column, which denotes courses excluded from GPA calculation, and the official grade will be changed to X* (e.g., XC-, XD, etc.), which denotes academic forgiveness.
- All cumulative calculations of hours attempted, quality points earned and cumulative GPA also will be adjusted.
- If a student has been awarded an associate degree and/or certificate from Kent State University, only courses not used in the completion of an associate degree and/or certificate will be eligible for the application of the Academic Forgiveness Policy.
If the student fails to maintain a minimum 2.000 GPA for the first 12 semester hours of graded coursework following return to the university, the eligibility period shall be extended through the term that encompasses the 24th semester hour of graded coursework. Students are permitted to use the provisions provided by the Course Repeat Policy during the extension period. If after completing 24 graded semester hours, the returning student has not achieved a 2.000 GPA, eligibility for the academic forgiveness will have expired.
Exceptions/Explanations: The Academic Forgiveness Policy is non-selective. It applies to all grades below C (2.000), with the exception of courses taken on a pass/fail basis that were earned in the previous period of Kent State University enrollment, or to none. In the event that a course for which the students previously had received a "passing" grade of C-, D+ or D is required for the degree program the students are pursuing, the students must retake this course unless the dean of the college in which the students are enrolled approves a suitable substitution. The original GPA (unadjusted by the application of the Academic Forgiveness Policy) will be used in determining eligibility for university, collegial, departmental or professional honors or other recognition based upon the entirety of students' undergraduate academic career and record of academic performance. Former students returning to the university may request the application of the Academic Forgiveness Policy to their record only once in their career at Kent State and within the eligibility standard. The Academic Forgiveness Policy applies only to coursework formerly taken at Kent State University and only to the students' Kent State transcript. It is available to undergraduate students only. The dean of the college or regional campus or director of the independent school in which the students are enrolled at the time of eligibility for the application of the Academic Forgiveness Policy shall determine all questions as to the eligibility for, and the application of, the Academic Forgiveness Policy. Completed forms are submitted to the University Registrar for validation and application to the students' records.
Please make an appointment with a College advisor if you think you may qualify.
Use the Course Repeat for Recalculation ("Freshman Forgiveness") policy?
A: Students may repeat courses taken at Kent State University subject to the following provisions:
Students may repeat a course already passed for additional credit if it is identified as repeatable in the course description. Some academic units place a limit on the total number of credits that may be earned in a given repeatable course. For credit limits on specific courses, see course descriptions or consult your advisor.
Students may repeat for credit any upper-division (30000-40000 level) courses they have failed; however, all grades earned are counted in the cumulative grade point average. Students may repeat upper-division (30000-40000 level) courses already passed with the approval of the academic dean in order to meet specific graduation requirements, but the hours earned the second time do not, under any circumstances, count toward graduation. All grades earned are counted in the cumulative grade point average.
Students may repeat lower-division (10000-20000 level) courses, and the university will use only the highest grade in the calculation of the cumulative grade point average (Repeat for Recalc). Lower-division course repeat with recalculation is subject to the following provisions:
- The course must be repeated at Kent State University.
- The course must be repeated for a letter grade, including S/U (satisfactory/unsatisfactory), but not pass/fail.
- All grades will appear on the official transcript.
- Only the highest grade received for the course will be used in the calculation of the cumulative grade point average.
- Recalculation of the students' cumulative grade point average will occur automatically at the end of the semester in which students complete the repeated course.
- All eligible courses will be included in the recalculation.
- Courses taken as part of a completed associate degree may be repeated under this policy.
- All course repeats for recalculation must be completed before conferral of the first bachelor's degree.
- All grades will be counted in determining grade point average for graduation with institutional honors and may also be counted for admission to or progression in specific programs, for admission to graduate programs or for admission to other institutions. These computations are independent of the cumulative grade point average as it appears on the transcript or student grade report.
- Credit for a repeated course will apply only once toward meeting degree requirements.
- The university is not obligated to offer courses so that students can repeat them.
- This policy does not apply to variable content courses that are repeatable for credit, such as special topics, individual investigation, practicum, internship, etc.
- This policy was effective with the spring 2008 semester.
Please contact the College office with any questions regarding this policy.
Address an issue with an instructor?
^ back to top
A: We advise students to contact the instructor by phone or email to discuss the issue. If the student is still concerned after this discussion, please make an appointment to talk to the Department Chair or Program Coordinator in the department. A student may also consult with the Student Ombuds, Dr. Jennifer Kulics. For more information about the Student Ombuds, see http://www.kent.edu/emsa/ombuds.cfm. For more detail about the academic complaint process, please see the Policy Register at: http://www.kent.edu/policyreg/policydetails.cfm?customel_datapageid_1976529=2037960.
