It used to take us two to four days to prepare a transcript for evaluation, but using ImageNow the transcript is ready the same day it arrives. We’re able to keep up even during high volume times.

Transcript Processing

Speed and Simplify the Processing of Paper and Electronic Transcripts

Regardless of the size of your college or university, evaluating transfer credits is data intensive. Manual data entry is time-consuming and can produce costly errors.

The Perceptive Software solution for transcript processing increases the accuracy and efficiency with which your institution can evaluate transfer credits.

No matter whether the transcripts your office receives are on paper or in an electronic format, the transcript processing solution enables your staff to determine equivalencies faster, support enrollment efforts and serve students better.

Upon receipt, paper and electronic (such as PDF, PESC XML or EDI TS-130) transcripts are easily captured and tied to the student’s record in the student information system, providing authorized enrollment services staff with access to the content they need.

As the trend continues toward electronic transcript exchange, you can still transform your incoming paper transcripts into electronic data with optical character recognition (OCR), eliminating the time and costs associated with manual data entry. Regardless of transcript format, you can maintain a single upload process, reducing complexity and maintenance.

With Perceptive Software’s transcript processing solution, your school can:

  • Speed transcript processing by automating routine tasks
  • Improve data accuracy with proactive data recognition and verification tools
  • Eliminate delays associated with manual transcript processing
  • Improve student service, ensuring a greater likelihood of enrolling the best students
  • Enhance information sharing between departments and systems
  • Ensure that historical transcripts are secure and available on demand
  • Reduce costs associated with data entry and storage
  • Boost staff productivity and satisfaction

You can also protect the integrity of historical transcripts by managing these irreplaceable documents in a secure electronic repository and instantly access them from anywhere.
