Students may, if desired, print their own grade report from the MySSU site. Also, the Office of the Registrar will, upon request, produce a printed student grade report. Students with questions or problems accessing grades should call (740) 351-4REG (4734) for assistance.
Please contact the Registrar within 30 days of the end of the term if you discover an error with your grade report.

Delivery Guidelines
Certain institutions that utilize transcripts, such as college admissions offices, require that transcripts be mailed directly to them and refuse hand-carried transcripts. Some also do not accept faxed transcripts. Please be sure to check with the accepting institution to verify whether or not they will accept such methods of delivery.
Processing Delays
Transcripts will NOT be processed if there are existing Holds on the student's account (i.e. financial holds, library holds, etc.). If there are any outstanding holds the request and payment will be mailed back to the student. We do not "hold on" to any requests. Once the hold is removed the student will need to resend his or her request.
