Key features of this service include:
- 24/7 access. The student can enter the request around the clock from the comfort of their own PC from anywhere in the world.
- Faster service. The transcript can be mailed within one business day of making the request. (As opposed to up to 5 business days.) Equal or less expensive than paying for 1 day rush service at $10.00 for each group of 5 or fewer transcripts in the Registrar's Office.
- Easy address look-up. A pull down menu will provide the addresses of many schools.
- Exact addressing. The student puts the address in exactly as they want it to appear. No risk of typographical errors or inability to read a hand written address.
- Release Form on-line. Student types the required information onto web page instead of printing out a form and completing it by hand. If the requestor does not have a active OSU internet account, he/she can print off and sign the form that is already filled out.
- Easy checking. The student can look on-line 24/7 to make sure the transcript has been printed. If FedEx was used, he/she can view the tracking number. If there is a problem in processing, he/she will receive an e-mail or text message notification and can see what the problem is immediately, without waiting for the mailed notification.
- Exact pricing. The student is told immediately what the total cost will be, and he/she can pay by credit card. He/she does not have to worry about delays due to paying the wrong amount.
- Communication channel. An e-mail or text message is sent to the student each time that there is a status change in their transcript order. From receipt of the order to notice when the transaction is completed, the student is automatically notified each step of the way. This becomes especially important if there are any problems with the order such as holds or encumbrances.
