UToledo admission requirements differ depending on your academic college and degree program.

If you don't know the academic college that houses your major, find your major on our list of degrees organized by academic college.

If you are admitted to the University but do not meet requirements for your chosen degree program, you will be admitted into UToledo's Exploratory Studies program in University College.

Transcripts

High School Transcripts
Your high school must submit your official transcripts to UToledo. We recommend you request them by Dec.

Your official transcripts will determine your merit scholarship eligibility. After graduating high school, you also will need to request and submit an updated official transcript with the date of your high school graduation.

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.

Are you a home-schooled student?

You must submit an official, signed and dated transcript detailing the courses you completed, as well as any in progress at the time of submission. For Ohio students, a diploma and official letter of excuse written by your school district’s superintendent must be submitted to UToledo by Aug. 1. If you live outside of Ohio, we honor your state's Department of Education home school regulations.
