Contact all previous higher education institutions you attended and have them send your official transcripts to the University of Toledo following the guidelines below. We cannot process your application until we receive your transcripts.

  • A transcript is only considered official if it is sent electronically from the issuing institution directly to the University of Toledo, or (if hard copy) it is in the original sealed envelope with a registrar’s stamp intact.
    • Electronic transcripts are preferred. When ordering electronic copies from your previous institution, please choose University of Toledo or University of Toledo Graduate Admissions.
    • Hard copy official transcripts should be sent to the mailing address listed in the “Questions about your application” box below.
  • Transcripts should indicate degree earned, date of conferral, and a key to the grading system used.
  • Transcripts and diplomas should be submitted in their original language.
