Requesting a Transcript from Missouri State University to be Sent Elsewhere
Op3.04-44 Transcript
Policy Statement
A transcript is a chronological listing of student’s academic record at Missouri State University and is considered official when printed on safety paper and bears the University Seal. Such transcripts given directly to the student will be marked “Issued to Student”.
The Office of the Registrar will be responsible for establishing and communicating the procedure for requesting a transcript.
Official transcripts will not be released for students who have a University hold in accordance with the current encumbrances/hold policy. Students with a hold may view and print their unofficial transcript via the My Missouri State system or request an unofficial courtesy copy of their transcript in person from the Office of the Registrar. The University will not send (e.g., mail or fax) unofficial transcripts for students who have a hold.
There is no charge for routine and reasonable transcript requests. The Office of the Registrar reserves the right to limit the number of transcript copies issued for a student in a given day. Fees for special requests (e.g., overnight delivery) will be charged in accordance with the current fee resolution.
Procedures for Requesting a Transcript
Transcript requests are typically processed the day they are received or the following business day. Transcripts given directly to the students are marked “Issued to Student” and may not be considered official by some agencies and institutions. Unofficial transcripts are available for viewing through My Missouri State. For a list of items included on the academic transcript, refer to the Transcript Legend.
Transcripts may be requested using one of the following methods.
- Submit the online request form at My Missouri State. Go to the Academics tab, Student Records Channel, Request Transcript link. (You will need a My Missouri State account to use this service. A link to information about creating an account is on the login page.)
- Send a written request to: Transcripts, Office of the Registrar, Missouri State University, 901 S. National, Springfield, MO 65897 and include the following information: full legal name and any former names; student identification number; date of birth; last semester of attendance at Missouri State (please indicate if you attended the West Plains Campus*); current mailing address and daytime telephone number; address to which transcript is to be mailed; and signature.
- Download and complete the transcript request form. Fax or mail the form to the Office of the Registrar (fax number/address appear at the top of the form.)
- Visit the Office of the Registrar in Carrington Hall, room 320. Complete a transcript request form, present a photo ID, and receive the transcript.
- If someone other than the student is to request and/or pick up a transcript, that person must have a signed note from the student stating that the student (student name) gives Missouri State authorization to release the transcript to them (their name). The requesting person must also provide the student's photo ID (or a photo copy of the student's ID) and a photo ID of himself/herself.
Courses taken at the West Plains Campus after Summer 1995 appear as transfer credit. Official transcripts of courses taken at the West Plains Campus after Summer 1995 must be requested directly from the West Plains Campus.
Contact the Office of the Registrar, Carrington Hall, room 320, (417) 836-5520, or email Registrar@missouristate.edu, if you have any questions about requesting a transcript or special mail processing.
