Sending and Receiving Documents

Submitting Documents 

In order to expedite your application for admission, you may send the application documents using one of the methods as below:

Submitting Documents Online

Use your online application to upload your scanned PDF or JPEG documents. This method is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED as it allows for faster processing times. Do not provide photographed documents taken using a camera.

Note: You can only use the self-service center option after you have submitted your online application. This option is not available for Graduate Students.

Submitting Documents by Email

If you are experiencing issues uploading your documents, you may email the scanned PDF or JPEG documents to international@uco.edu. Submission through this method will delay your admission process.

Graduate students should submit all documents as a scanned PDF or JPEG to igrad@uco.edu.

Submitting Documents by Mail

While not preferred, students may also mail the application documents to:

Undergraduate Students
University of Central Oklahoma
Global Affairs, Box 163
100 N University Drive
Edmond, OK 73034, USA

Graduate Students
University of Central Oklahoma
Jackson College of Graduate Studies
100 N University Drive, Box 117
Edmond, OK 73034, USA

Submission of documents via mail will extend your admission process an additional three-four weeks. The Office of Global Affairs and the Jackson College of Graduate Studies will not be responsible for any lost documents or return original copies to the student.

Receiving Your Documents

Once our office receives your application and admission requirements, we will communicate the status of your application with you through email. Students may also check the status of their applications by logging into their Self Service Center. Additionally, once a decision is made our office will prepare and send you additional documents. The types of documents you receive and how you receive them will vary depending on the type of admission decision you receive.

Regular Admissions Decision

A regular admissions decision will be made four-six business days after receiving your complete online application form and all other required documents. You will receive the full admission packet including your acceptance letter, I-20 and scholarship documents (if eligible). Your SEVIS number may be included in your admissions email to allow you to begin scheduling your visa interviews.

Conditional Admission Decision

A conditional admission decision may be made four-six business days after receiving your complete online application form and all other required documents, except proof of English Proficiency (TOEFL/IELTS). You will only receive the conditional acceptance letter via email and mail (if needed) and no I-20 will be issued.

Provisional Admission Decision

A provisional admission decision may be made four-six business days after receiving your complete online application form and academic credentials, such as transcript and proof of graduation. You will only receive the provisional acceptance letter via email. No I-20 or letter will be issued for mailing.

Delivering Your Documents

There are three options for delivering your admission documents:

• United States Postal Service (USPS) Air Mail (three-four weeks)
  This method of delivery is provided at no charge. When sending documents to USPS, we are unable to provide a tracking number or delivery confirmation. Due to issues with delivery times and service this option may not be available in all countries.
• Courier Service through FedEx Express (three-four business days)
  This shipping method provides students the ability to track the shipment using the tracking number provided to you at the time of shipment. There will be a $55.00 one-time charge required that can be paid online using a credit card.
• Direct Pick
  For students who are located nearby, documents can be picked up directly from the UCO Office of Global Affairs.
