  2. Submit $30 non-refundable application fee (one-time fee; not required if previously paid)
  3. Submit official transcript(s) from each college or university previously attended.

    • A high school graduate from 1987 or after who is transferring with less than 45 quarter hours (30 semester hours).
  5. Submit a College Preparatory Curriculum Completion Form (PDF)
    • Requested from any student who is transferring with less than 45 quarter hours (30 semester hours).

Additional Information

The college to which you are admitted evaluates your transfer credit and determines what is appropriate transfer credit for your particular program. For an evaluation of your transfer credit, call the appropriate college to arrange an appointment. View contact information by college.

University College provides a starting place for adults age 25 and older who are beginning or re-entering college and for students transferring to Wright State. As a transfer student, you may have special needs that this office can address to help you make a successful transition to Wright State.

Selective Service

Attention male students: A law passed by the Ohio Assembly requires state universities to charge nonresident fees to male (Ohio) students who have not registered with the Selective Service. In addition, Selective Service registration is linked to many federal and state benefits, including eligibility for federal student loans and grants.

Federal law requires virtually all men to register with Selective Service within 30 days of turning 18. Males who have not registered with the Selective Service may register online at the Selective Service System Web site or go to any U.S. Post Office.

If you have registered but have lost your Selective Service number, call the Selective Service System at (708) 688-6888 between 8:30 a.m. and 6:45 p.m., Monday through Friday, and a duplicate card will be sent within ten days. For additional information, please visit the Selective Service System Web site.

Nondiscrimination Policy

Wright State University does not discriminate against any person on the basis of race, religion, color, sex, sexual orientation, disability, veteran status, national origin, age, or ancestry. We take affirmative action to recruit and assist members of various racial or ethnic groups, women, Vietnam-era veterans, and persons with disabilities whose ability to achieve academic success might otherwise be unrecognized because of cultural barriers. Our policy is consistent with the various federal and Ohio statutes that prohibit discrimination.
