Finish strong, and submit your transcripts
Final high school transcript
Your admission to Ohio State Lima is contingent upon our receipt and review of your final high school transcript. So finish strong, and let your counselor know to send your final transcript to Ohio State (electronically for faster processing) upon graduation.
If you’ve taken AP or IB classes, you may be able to receive credit for your test scores. To find out if you can earn credit for your AP or IB test scores, remember to have your official scores sent to Ohio State.
University transcript
If you have earned college credit while in high school, ask each institution you attended to send an electronic transcript to Ohio State so that we can begin evaluating your transferable credits. If you are admitted for autumn term, do this by May 1. If you’re still taking college classes after May 1, make sure your final transcript is sent to Ohio State as soon as your grades have posted.
Important! Transcripts should not be delivered by the student or sent to other addresses on campus. Doing so will prevent acceptance of the transcript as official.
How to send university transcripts to Ohio State:
- If you attended an Ohio college or university, request that your transcript be sent electronically.
- For other institutions, request electronic delivery if available to avoid processing delays. If ordering a transcript online, select The Ohio State University as a recipient. In the absence of a list of universities to select from, have your school email your transcript to ugdocs@osu.edu.
- If your school does not offer electronic delivery, please have your transcript(s) mailed to:
