What are the technology requirements for studying 100% online?
Students will need access to a properly functioning computer and high-speed Internet
access throughout the semester. The rental/purchase, installation and maintenance
of required computer hardware and software is the responsibility of the student. Learn
more about technology requirements.
How are online courses structured?
A majority of our online classes are offered asynchronously. That means there is no
scheduled time for a class meeting, so you can complete coursework at whatever time
of day is convenient for you. UToledo Online uses Blackboard as your virtual classroom.
Learn more about Blackboard.
Is financial aid available for online students?
Yes, financial aid is available to online students. To determine what aid you qualify
for, students must complete their FAFSA application for each academic year. Learn
more about financial aid.
What resources are available to online students?
Online students receive all the same benefits as our on-campus students. Below are
a few of the resources online students may want to take advantage of:
How do online courses compare to on-campus courses?
As an online learner, you will learn from the same world-class faculty who teach our
on-campus students and receive the same high-quality learning experience. Additionally,
nearly 100 online courses are certified by Quality Matters. This means that our online
courses follow nationally recognized standards for structure, design and delivery.
Can I take online classes without pursuing a degree from The University of Toledo?
Yes, you can take classes as a guest student or a non-degree student.
Will my diploma state I earned my degree online?
No, your diploma will simply state you earned your degree from The University of Toledo.
This is because our online students receive the same high-quality education as our
on-campus students.
Can I walk at graduation?
Yes, graduate and undergraduate students are more than welcome to walk at graduation.

Where should I send my transcripts?
Official transcripts are typically provided by the University Registrar and should
be sent electronically. If your University uses a transcript ordering system, such
as Parchment, you may order your transcripts through that system. You may be asked
to provide email and/or physical address information at the time of your request.
If that is the case, please use the following:
AdmProcessing@utoledo.edu
The University of Toledo
UToledo Online
Mail Stop 300
2801 West Bancroft Street
Toledo, OH 43606
Can I order my transcripts through a third-party system?
Yes. You may use any system your institution uses to request transcripts. For example,
many institutions use Parchment.
What if I don’t want my prior credits to count towards my degree?
Unfortunately, to maintain The University of Toledo’s regional accreditation, our governing body
requires that we review all previously attempted, and/or completed coursework, for
any incoming or returning students. When the National Student Clearing House shares applicant attendance data with us, we require an official transcript be sent
directly from each prior institution.
I am being asked for a transcript from a school I didn’t attend. What do I do?
If you have never attended the institution, we will need an official letter from their
registrar to verify non-attendance. "Letters of non-attendance" should be sent electronically
to admprocessing@utoledo.edu.
My school is closed. How do I send my transcript?
We recommend visiting your school’s website and/or your state’s department of education.
If you are still unable to obtain your transcripts, please reach out to your admissions
counselor for assistance. Learn more about closed colleges in Ohio.
What are the admissions requirements?
Admissions requirements differ depending on student type and your academic college/degree
program:
What are the application deadlines?
Applications must be completed by mid-day of the first Friday of the semester. This
includes receiving all required transcripts and documentation. However, we recommend completing your application sooner.
What’s the difference between the priority deadline and the final deadline?
The priority deadline is for applicants to receive priority consideration for admittance
and scholarships. The final deadline is the final date to fully complete your application
to be considered for admission.
I am adjudicated guilty or have been a convicted of a felony. What should I know?
You will be contacted by Student Conduct to provide additional information. For specific
questions, please contact your admissions counselor.
I have been on academic probation or have been suspended from an institution. What
should I know?
You will be required to submit a suspension dismissal form. This will be provided
to you via email. If you do not receive it, please contact your admissions counselor.
I was a UToledo student in the past, how do I get readmitted?
If The University of Toledo was your last institution, then you would apply for readmission
using the readmit application. Scroll down to the "How to Apply as a Readmit Student" section to find the application
link. If you attended a different institution since attending UToledo, you would apply
as a transfer student using the 100% online application. Explore the transfer requirements for more information.
I applied in the past, can I update my application without having to re-apply?
Applications are valid for one year. If it has been longer than a year since you applied,
you will need to complete a new application. To find out if you need to request new
transcripts, contact your admissions counselor.
