How do I obtain my student records?
Public Schools and Operating Community Schools
If you attended a public school or a community school that is still in operation, you must obtain your student records and transcripts directly from the school you attended. Some schools have resources on their website informing students about how to obtain student records or a transcript. Some may even use automated systems to request school records and transcripts. If a school does not indicate how to obtain school records or a transcript, you should contact the school via phone and/or email. Directory information for schools is listed in the Department’s Ohio Educational Directory System.
Private Schools
If you attended a private school, please contact the Office of Nonpublic Educational Options at (614) 728-2678 for information on where to obtain your student records and transcripts.
What if the community school I attended is closed?

If you attended any other community school that has closed, please contact your local public school district, as closing community schools are required to transfer school records to each student’s district of residence based on the student’s address.
