Transcripts
How to submit the required documentation
Submit
- Transcripts from each regionally accredited college or university previously attended
- High school transcripts if you are one of the following:
- A high school graduate from 1986 or before transferring with fewer than nine semester hours
- A high school graduate from 1987 or after transferring with fewer than 30 semester hours
Submit your transcript as early as possible. Your options are:
- Submit an official transcript even if your current semester courses are not listed. This allows us to begin posting credits to your Wright State record.
- You may be eligible to send unofficial transcripts for a one-term provisional admissions decision if your GPA is currently above a 2.00, you have not been academically suspended or dismissed from an institution, or are not petitioning for admission. Transfer credits do not post from unofficial transcripts. Official transcripts are required prior to being able to register for a second term.
How to submit the required documentation
- Online: Many academic institutions will send official transcripts electronically through a secure server. We will accept these transcripts from the academic institution. If an email address is required, they can be sent to admissions@wright.edu
- By mail:
- Wright State University
Office of Undergraduate Admissions
3640 Colonel Glenn Hwy.

Revisit your application portal often to check on the status of your application, your required documents, and your next steps.
Students who have a cumulative college GPA below 2.0, have been dismissed from an academic institution, and/or have been convicted of a felony should refer to the admission petition section for additional documentation and information regarding petitioning for admission.
Veteran and Military Students
Wright State values students currently in the armed forces and veterans. We are fortunate to work with students in the Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, National Guard, Navy, Marines, and Reserves.
For military students, Wright State offers the Veteran and Military Student Center, Army and Air Force ROTC programs, military housing, a student veteran’s organization, a military-to-civilian transition course, and much more.
To complete the Wright State application process:
- Submit the documentation required for degree-seeking transfer students.
- Although military transcripts are not required (except Community College of the Air Force), you may submit them to receive credit.
