OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPTS

Transcripts are considered official only if they arrive in a sealed letterhead envelope from a high school, college or university. Transcripts issued directly to the student will be accepted only if the envelope is unopened. Once the envelope seal has been broken by someone other than a university employee, the transcript becomes unofficial.

If the original school is mailing your transcript, send to:

Warren, OH 44483
