Our step-by-step guide lays out everything you need to do to apply to UToledo.
- Official college transcripts
To process your UToledo application, we need official transcripts from every college you've attended or started.
HOW TO REQUEST TRANSCRIPTS
Are you a current student? Go to your college or university portal to request a transcript.
Are you no longer a student at the school? Contact the registrar/records office or visit its website. Most schools have an online transcript request process.
There is usually a fee to have your official transcript sent to another institution.
When requesting a transcript, direct the institution to email it to admprocessing@utoledo.edu or mail transcripts to:
The University of Toledo
Office of Undergraduate Admission
Mail Stop 300
2801 West Bancroft Street
Toledo, OH 43606
TRANSFER TIP: You also will need to include an official high school transcript or official GED diploma and scores if you plan to apply for financial aid and haven't earned an associate degree or completed 60 college-level credits. - Suspension/Dismissal Policy
If you were suspended or dismissed from another institution, you will be required to provide additional documentation to UToledo. We honor academic suspensions from other schools up to one year. You will not be eligible to attend classes at UToledo until that year of academic suspension has completed. Students suspended or dismissed for disciplinary reasons will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. - Placement tests
You may be required to take placement tests, depending on your major and ACT/SAT score. The tests will assist us in placing you in the correct course level. - High School Transcripts
All students (excluding GED holders) must request an official high school transcript, complete with a graduation date.
An official transcript is one that has been received directly from the issuing institution. It should bear the school’s seal, recent date, and an authorized signature. Under unusual circumstances, exceptions may be made at the discretion of a professional staff member.
Transcripts should be sent to:
The University of Toledo
Office of Undergraduate Admission
Mail Stop 300
2801 West Bancroft Street
Toledo, OH 43606
- GED Holder Requirements
You must request an official copy of your GED (General Education Development) diploma and scores. You can obtain a copy of your GED from the Department of Education in the state where you took the GED test.
National Student Clearinghouse Checks
The University of Toledo completes a National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) check on all transfer and adult students. The check allows us to see all previous institutions you have attended. In order to process your application, we require official transcripts from any schools listed on the NSC check. You will be notified of any additional documents needed.
Priority Application Deadlines
UToledo applications received by the priority application deadline receive priority consideration for merit scholarships. We will still accept applications beyond these deadlines. But it's in your best interest to apply well before your admission term deadline.
