Orientation Registration and Start

|

Submit Your Final Transcripts
|
All new graduate students must have a final official transcript sent to Miami University from all institutions attended, beginning with your bachelor's degree. (Applicants who earned a Miami degree or took Miami courses are not required to request/send transcripts from Miami University to itself.)
Documents should include both the original language and certified literal English language translation of document(s) that lists all the college-level courses you have taken, as well as grades received in each course and the dates of your attendance. This document must bear an original signature of the appropriate authority at the institution(s) attended and also bear that institution's official seal or stamp.
Miami accepts the following original documents:
-
A transcript sent directly from the school to Miami University Graduate Admission that shows you earned your Bachelor's degree and/or academic record.
- A transcript submitted in a sealed envelope to Miami University Graduate Admission that shows you earned your Bachelor's degree and/or academic record.
Have your previous institution(s) send final official transcript(s) to:
Miami University Graduate Admission
Nellie Craig Walker Hall
301 S. Campus Ave
Oxford, OH 45056
or by email to Grad_Transcripts@MiamiOH.edu
If you had final official transcripts sent to the Graduate School when you applied for admission, you do not need to send them again. You can log into your applicant status portal to check the status of your official transcript(s).
Students who do not submit final official transcripts will have a Hold placed on their record and will not be allowed to register for classes after the first semester.
