College of Nursing

Ask your master’s degree institution to electronically send transcripts to UW Oshkosh Graduate Studies.

Send electronically to:
Email: gradschool@uwosh.edu

We need an official, degree conferral transcript for your graduate degree:

• Official means the transcript is sent directly from the institution to UW Oshkosh Graduate Studies. Electronic transcripts are processed most quickly.
• While we prefer official transcripts for admission decision-making, we can use unofficial transcripts. If you are admitted, we require official transcripts before you begin taking classes. If you uploaded transcripts with your application we will use those unofficial transcripts. Otherwise, email unofficial transcripts to GradSchool@uwosh.edu.
• Degree-conferral means the transcript shows the name of the degree earned and the date it was awarded

You may send transcripts from all institutions.

Special situations:

• If you attended UW Oshkosh, you do not need to send UWO transcripts
• If you previously applied to UW Oshkosh, we will use transcripts on file
• If you attended UW Fond du Lac or UW Fox Valley before Fall 2019, you need to request transcripts
• If you are currently finishing your master’s degree, send a current transcript now and an official degree conferral transcript when you complete your degree
• If you have more than one master’s degree, send transcripts for the degree most relevant to your doctoral degree

Applicants must send items A–B listed below directly to the College of Nursing Graduate Program Office via email to congrad@uwosh.edu.  Please send all items as attachments in a single email.
