3. Submit additional documentation

• Transcripts

Current and previous UToledo students do not need to submit their UToledo transcripts.

All Applicants
Contact all previous higher education institutions you attended and have them send your official transcripts to UToledo. We cannot process your application until we receive your transcripts.  

An official transcript is one that is sent from institution to institution or that is in the original sealed envelope with a registrar’s stamp intact.

Official transcripts can be ordered online from most institutions and sent directly to UToledo electronically.  Hard copy transcripts can be mailed to UToledo using the mailing address listed at the bottom of this page.  

International Applicants
For academic review purposes only, applicants who have attended international institutions may provide copies of those transcripts by uploading directly to the application as "Miscellaneous." Transcripts also must include official certified or attested copies of all graduation certificates, diplomas or degree certificates.  

Official transcripts from all colleges or universities attended will still need to be sent directly from your institution to the University of Toledo. They must be submitted before the start of the second term.  Transcripts can be mailed to the Graduate Admissions office using the mailing address at the bottom of this page. Or you may bring them to our office.

NOTE: The above applies only for international institutions.  For degrees earned from a U.S. degree-granting institution, official transcripts are required.
