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 your credits to your Wright State record.
- Submit an unofficial transcript to be considered for admission. Credits will not be posted to your record until we receive your official transcript.
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:

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.

To complete the Wright State application process:
