Current and former students have the ability to select a pick up option when ordering transcripts. If you select this option, you must come to the LSU Office of the University Registrar (112 Thomas Boyd Hall) to receive your transcript. We will not mail transcripts that have been ordered under the pick up option.

Pick up is available in the University of the Registrar's office Monday- Friday, 9am-4pm. Transcripts will not be available for pick up if the office is closed. Please monitor our website for closures.

A transcript will not be available for pick up until you receive an email confirmation saying that your order has been Completed. 

Only the pick up person indicated on the order form will be able to pick up the transcript. Photo ID is required at pick up. 

If you are a student who completed a course through the LSU Office of Distance Learning (ODL) you will not have access to myLSU; however, you can access your transcript through Parchment.

It is your responsibility to ensure the grade has been confirmed by your instructor and posted to the university system prior to requesting a transcript. To verify the status of your grade, please contact LSU Online Distance Learning (answers@outreach.lsu.edu). If an order is submitted before a grade posted, the order will be canceled.

ODL students cannot receive transcripts for in-progress courses. Your course and grade is posted to your transcript for the term in which the course was completed. The term of completion cannot be changed.

If you have questions about the process or encounter difficulty in entering your order, please contact Parchment customer service. Tracking information on orders is available on your Parchment account. 

If there is a hold on your account that prevents the release of your transcript, you will be contacted by our office.

The Office of Bursar Operations places holds on the release of transcripts of students who are in debt to the University. Please be aware that if there is a “Bursar Hold” on your transcript, and you choose to pay what you owe the University via myLSU using a credit card, it may take up to 48 hours to clear your account and to lift the hold. For questions, you may contact the Office of Bursar Operations at 225-578-3357.
