Each step of the process is outlined below. This information has been arranged to serve as a checklist to ensure that you have supplied all of the required information. Please note: your Enrollment Advisor can be contacted at any time to guide you through this process and to answer any questions.

- You must create an account before applying to the University of Cincinnati. Click on “Create New Account” on the left hand side. Complete all required fields, and then click on “Submit”.
- Click on “Start Application”. If you are unable to complete the application in your first sitting, you may save your work and finish completing the application at a later date.
- You will need to fill out the following fields completely before your application can be submitted.

The $65 application fee can be paid online by using a credit card (VISA or MasterCard) or by sending a check or money order with the confirmation page you print out after completing your application. (Complete instructions are available on the Admissions website listed above.) If you choose to pay by check or money order, please contact an Enrollment Advisor about where to send your payment along with the “Graduate Admissions Application Confirmation.”
Step 2: Submit Official Undergraduate and Graduate Transcripts.
- Transcripts must bear the original signature of the authorized official with the seal of each institution. University of Cincinnati graduates may obtain “campus copy” transcripts at no charge from the University Registrar at 1-513-556-9912.
- You may request the transcripts to be sent directly to the Off-Site Admissions Center, or you may have the transcripts sent to you and you may include them sealed and unopened with your application package.
- International transcripts should be evaluated by World Education Services (WES). UC does not require an official transcript from the home school. More information about WES can be found online at http://www.wes.org/.
- Please send this material to the University of Cincinnati Off-Site Admissions Center: 2145 MetroCenter Blvd., Suite 400, Orlando, FL 32835.
