ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL ADULT STUDENTS 

  • 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.
