FedEx overnight charge: $20.00 (within the United States) - PLUS $6 per transcript charge.
* FedEx orders containing attachments are subject to longer processing times therefore your transcript may take longer to deliver.
Students needing overnight delivery must submit the transcript request by 12:00 pm in order for the request to be processed the same day. All requests received after 12:00 pm will be processed the following day. Requests made on Friday will be delivered the following Monday. We do not offer Saturday delivery. FedEx transcripts cannot be delivered to PO boxes.
In an effort to provide records more securely and protect the privacy of our students’ records, the Registrar’s office will send Official transcripts via a secure electronic server in lieu of fax transcripts. Electronic transcript requests submitted prior to noon weekdays will be delivered electronically on the same day during normal processing periods.
Transcripts can be emailed via Transcripts Plus to individuals, companies, or institutions. Electronic transcripts are normally sent out twice each day. Requests received by 12:00 pm CST will be sent the same day. Transcripts sent to network member institutions are considered official. Students are responsible for verifying transcripts emailed to NON-member institutions will be accepted. Forwarded electronic transcripts can NOT be authenticated by USM or Transcripts Plus.
Transcripts sent by US mail directly to institutions and/or businesses are sent as 'Official' transcripts. Students are responsible for ensuring the receiver will accept 'Issued to Student' transcripts provided in sealed envelopes.
Students who need confirmation of Continuing Education Units (CEU credits) may request a CEU transcript by contacting the Regional Service Center.
