Rush transcript to be picked up ($10)- This service is available between 8:00am and 4:45pm, Monday-Friday. If it has been 15 years since you attended YSU, prior to coming to campus, please call 330-941-1584 as your record could be "offline" or archived and take longer to process.

To request a rush transcript, the student must personally go to the Enrollment Center (Meshel Hall, 2nd floor); complete a transcript request form; take the completed form to the Student Accounts' Office (Meshel Hall, Payment Windows) pay the required fee; and finally bring the completed request form and the receipt from Student Accounts to the Records Office (Jones Hall, Room 1013). Records staff will prepare the transcript for the student at that time.

To request an overnight mail transcript, the student should call the Records Office (330-941-1584) before sending the transcript request form to confirm that that are not any holds on their record. Once cleared of any holds on the record, the student should fax the completed and signed YSU Transcript Request form.* After the student faxes the form, they should call the Records Office (330-941-1584) to make sure we received the fax and we will transfer the student to the Student Accounts' Office to provide credit card information for the required payment.

Students who do not have access to a fax may personally come to the campus, complete the transcript request form, make payment, and bring the completed transcript request form and Student Account receipt to the Records Office.
