Initiative Title | Intergrate an updated online and electronic transcript delivery service |
Submitted in Previous Year(s) | No |
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | The goal is to have incorporated a system where current and prior students can order their college transcript online and have the processed though the Credential Solutions systems. This system will also print and mail official college transcripts as well as GETA transcripts to students saving the college money in postage, handling and employee time.
This system will also allow us to move forward by sending and receiving electronic transcripts though the appropriate systems. Admissions will also be able to receive electronic transcripts through the high schools as well as possibly for transfer students as well. We will also be able to send our transcripts electronically to other institutions, which reduces cast even more.
This service will also provide a Reverse Transfer Credit service that will allow participating SUNY Institutions to offer a FERPA compliant opt-in request to send the student’s completed academic work from the currently enrolled SUNY Institution back to the former SUNY Institution for purposes of obtaining an Associate’s Degree.
We will be able to receive reports by providing us with several reporting functions that may include reports that can be created in real time for a specific date range and include any combination of placed order, completed orders and/or orders placed manually by the Registrar’s Office. |
Consequences of this initiative not being funded | We currently have a transcript ordering service with the National Student Clearinghouse, but this service only allows students to order online, and dose not provide the other services at this time |

Institutional Goals
Goal |
How will the initiative support this institutional goal? |
- STUDENT SERVICES MASTER PLAN 2013
- Technology
- Explore, introduce and utilize technology designed to improve operations, enhance communication, streamline service, and increase productivity and efficiency.
|
We would like to offer students a faster way for them to send transcripts on to their next college without the postal service. Sometime the transcripts get lost in the mail and student need to resend which adds time to the process for them to get accepted and or receive transfer credit. |
- ACADEMIC MASTER PLAN 2016-2020
- The Student Experience
- Objective #3: Enhance academic support and services by effectively utilizing equipment, facilities, personnel, and technology to meet our students’ needs.
|
We would be supporting a streamed line approach to students ordering transcripts using electronic methods. We would no long be required for these types of transcripts to print and mail transcripts saving staff time and college resources. |
