Frequently
Asked Questions
- How do I order a transcript?
Transcripts may be requested or ordered by contacting the Registrar's
Office. 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(withdrawn or graduated), only official transcripts will be issued.

- 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 Registrar's
Office 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?
You can download it from this site
in PDF format.
- How do I file for my degree?
Students should make an appointment with a staff member in the
Registrar's Office 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 this Web Page. (Go to the OWU
Campus Calendars.)
- 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 Registrar's Office will order replacement diplomas at a charge
of $10 each. Individuals should make their request in writing
and send the appropriate fee. Such requests usually take four-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
