Fairfax, VA (PRWEB) February 27, 2014 -- Ellucian® and the National Student Clearinghouse® announced today the delivery of Ellucian eTranscripts, an interface that automates the time-consuming administrative tasks required to process and release transcripts, reducing the workload of the registrar’s office and improving the service quality to students and alumni. eTranscripts is a secure interface for institutions to authenticate, produce, and transfer transcripts electronically and in real-time between the National Student Clearinghouse and Ellucian’s administrative systems.

The volume of transcript requests is rising, driven by the increasing mobility of today’s college students. One-third of students transfer or change schools at least once in five years, according to the Transfer and Mobility report published by the National Student Clearinghouse® Research Center™. Fulfilling requests manually takes institutions an average of four days to process and send the transcripts. With eTranscripts, the process is automated and the transcript is ready for electronic delivery or pick up in minutes; and 90% of transcripts are processed without manual intervention.

“eTranscripts provides an outstanding ‘touch-free’ electronic transcript processing and delivery option for students,” said Lee M. Colaw, chief information officer at Amarillo College which processes thousands of transcripts annually. “The processes for student authentication and identification, transcript order submission, and transcript PDF generation and customization are all automated, providing immediate and secure electronic transcript delivery. Students can submit a transcript request outside of normal office hours and receive an official transcript PDF within 20 to 30 minutes. This is a great service for them when they are applying for jobs, scholarships, or admission to a university.” The popularity of transcripts PDFs, which account for nearly one-third of Amarillo’s transcript volume, is increasing rapidly at the college.

Ellucian eTranscripts supports the Banner by Ellucian and Colleague by Ellucian administrative systems. The solution, developed in partnership with the National Student Clearinghouse, creates a secure interface between institutions participating in the Clearinghouse’s Transcript Ordering service and the institution’s Ellucian administrative system. eTranscripts is available at no additional cost to Ellucian support customers that choose to activate the API and that also participate in Transcript Ordering, which is free to institutions. The interface is implemented using the PESC XML Transcript standards, minimizing the institutions’ development time and maintenance investment.

“Together the National Student Clearinghouse and Ellucian teams have worked very hard to finally provide higher education with a world-class solution that simplifies and accelerates the transition from paper to electronic data exchange. I look forward to the great enhancements that will be enabled on the electronic data front through our continued collaboration,” said Rick Torres, president and CEO of the National Student Clearinghouse. “We’re also excited about the opportunity to help as many schools as possible take advantage of our touch-free automated and integrated solution, a clear and unique benefit to the entire higher education community made possible through our strategic partnership.”

“Integrating our administrative systems with other solutions and services to improve efficiency on campus is a core goal of Ellucian’s Extensible Ecosystem,” said Mark Jones, chief product officer, Ellucian. “eTranscripts is a simple, no-cost solution that eases the workload on staff and lets the institution serve its students better.”

The Ellucian Extensible Ecosystem is a flexible and open foundation that spans the company’s core administrative systems. One of the ways that Ellucian delivers on this architectural approach is through a robust API and web services strategy that wraps around the core ERP platforms, supporting deep, standards-based integration and extending interoperability with new and existing software solutions from Ellucian, its partners, and other third parties.

The National Student Clearinghouse is demonstrating the new interface at the 2014 AACRAO Annual Meeting and at Ellucian Live. Institutions can contact their Clearinghouse Regional Director for more information or to schedule a demo at the AACRAO or Ellucian Live meetings.
