• 24/7 access: The student can enter the request around the clock from the comfort of his/her own PC from anywhere in the world.
• Faster Service: Records from summer session 1983 to present can be mailed within one business day. Records prior to summer session 1983 will be mailed within five business days.
• Easy address look-up: A pull-down menu will provide the addresses of many schools.
• Exact addressing: The student enters the address exactly as it should appear avoiding the risk of transcripts being misdirected because of typographical errors or the inability to decipher a hand-written address.
• Release Form online: The student types the required information onto a web form instead of printing out a form and completing it by hand.
• Easy checking: The student can look online 24/7 to make sure the transcript has been printed. If express mail service was purchased, the tracking number can be viewed. If there is a problem in processing, the student will receive an email notification and can immediately see what the problem is, without waiting for the mailed notification.
• Exact pricing: The student is told immediately what the total cost will be, and can pay by credit card. The student doesn’t have to worry about delays caused when a check is sent in the wrong amount because the student had to guess the amount owed.
• Communications channel: an email is sent to the student each time that there is a status change in the transcript order. From receipt of the order to the notice when the transaction is completed, the student is automatically notified each step of the way. This becomes especially important if there are any problems with the order such as holds or encumbrances.
