Account Information

What is my FlashLine Account Information?

Your FlashLine User Name is everything before the "@" symbol in your Kent State e-mail address. For example, if your KSU e-mail address is cjones@kent.edu, then your FlashLine User Name would be cjones.

TIP: If you don't know your KSU e-mail address, you can look youself up in the KSU Online Phone Directory by clicking here.

How can I get my new password?

Your new password will consist of information that only you would know.

The format for your new ten-character password is: AMMMYYSSSS


A = the first letter of your middle name. If you do not have a middle name, you have been assigned the character “x.”
MMM = The second through fourth characters will be the first three letters of your birth month (e.g., April – apr).
YY = the fifth and sixth characters will be the last two digits of your birth year.
SSSS = the seventh through tenth characters will be the last four digits of your social security number.
For example, if an individual’s information is as follows:

Name: Chris A. Jones

Date of birth: November 2, 1971

Social Security Number: 123-45-6789

Then their new password would be: anov716789

NOTE: You will be immediately prompted to select a new password of your choice after you log-on with the password containing your characters from the formula described above.
