MSSU uses a third party to issue diplomas. We issue both digital and printed diplomas to students who have completed all graduation requirements after grades are posted and all graduation requirements have been verified by the Office of the Registrar as satisfied and degrees are officially conferred. Grades are posted the Monday after the last day of finals. Students will be notified by their MSSU issued email address when grades have been released and when digital diplomas have been issued.
Please note that if all degree requirements have not reached the Office of the Registrar, the degree will not be conferred, and diplomas will not be issued.
According to MSSU policy, degrees will not be conferred if students have “IN”, “IP” or “NO” grades.
Students who don’t meet all their degree requirements will be notified by email.
Final Transcript Request Graduates may request a copy of their final transcript after degree is awarded.
Missouri Southern State University has authorized the National Student Clearinghouse to process official transcript requests. Official transcripts will not be issued if there is a hold on your student account due to an outstanding financial obligation owed to the institution.
Official transcripts cost $15 per copy. The charge can be paid using any major credit or debit card. Charges will only be applied after the transcript has been processed and sent.
You will have the option of choosing the delivery method of your official transcript. You can choose to have your transcript sent electronically or physically as a paper copy through the mail.
Request your transcript by clicking on the transcript request link here.
