FAQ
How do I order a transcript?
Transcripts may be requested or ordered by contacting the Office of the Registrar. Students presently enrolled may request unofficial copies of their record at any time, but once students have left the campus (withdrawn or graduated), only official transcripts will be issued. Get more information on transcript requests.
May I transfer courses to Ohio Wesleyan from other colleges?
Credit may be transferred to OWU from other accredited colleges and universities in the United States. The courses taken need to be of a liberal-arts nature, and the student’s performance must be satisfactory, C- or better. Only the credit transfers as a proportion of an Ohio Wesleyan unit; grades will be entered on the transcript for informational purposes only. Once the course is completed, the student should request an official transcript be sent from the other school to the OWU Registrar. The Office of the Registrar has forms which may be used to apply for transfer credit.
Where do I get my registration form?
Each semester, registration forms are sent to Academic Advisors for the following semester. Students should make an appointment to meet with their Advisor to discuss appropriate courses for the following semester.
Where do I get my voter registration application?
Visit the United States Election Assistance Commission Web site’s Register to Vote page to download the latest PDF version of the voter registration form.
How do I file for my degree?
Students should make an appointment with a staff member in the Office of the Registrar to review all graduation requirements. At this meeting, all requirements will be reviewed, and the student will be given a listing of all courses in the major; this form must be signed by a faculty member in the major department to indicate that all requirements for the major have been satisfactorily met.
Where do I find important dates for this semester?
Each year, important dates for each semester are listed on the inside back cover of the Catalog. Dates are also listed for several years on the Academic Calendar.
How do I apply for re-admission after being away from OWU for a time?
Contact the Registrar, and that office will send you an application for reinstatement. You will need to complete the application, have official transcripts sent if you have attended another college or university, and have all accounts with the college cleared before the reinstatement can be approved.
How do I order a replacement diploma?
The Office of the Registrar will order replacement diplomas at a charge of $15 each. Individuals should make their request in writing and send the appropriate fee. Such requests usually take four to six weeks for completion.
How do I calculate my grade point average?
Multiply the credit for a course times the value of the grade earned in that course to determine the quality points earned. Then divide the total number of quality points by the total number of quality units to determine the grade point average. An example follows:
| Course | Credit/units | Grades | Quality Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| CHEM 110 | 1.25 | A | 5.00 |
| ENG 105 | 1.00 | B | 3.00 |
| PG 110 | 1.00 | C | 2.00 |
| REL 151 | 1.00 | D | 1.00 |
| PE 0832 | 0.25 | A | 1.00 |
| TOTALS | 4.50 | 12.00 |
12.00 quality points divided by 4.50 quality units yields a 2.67 grade point average.
