Description
The National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) had an updated version of the Transcript Ordering pages in PeopleSoft. It’s actually a new “NextGen” ordering process that includes APIs and Cloud stuff. I’ve attached a guide they sent us. We’d like to get the ball rolling on this project.
Currently, the Registrar's Office has two staff people and a student processing roughly 20,000 transcript request each year. Staff spend have of each of their work days processing the requests. The process includes looking up the student, making sure there are no holds, printing the transcript, stuffing it into an envelope, seeling it, and mailing it to the requestor. Only on rare exceptions will the Registrar's Office send out an electronic transcript.
The Registrar estimates that with the implementation of the new NSC NextGen transcript ordering module, they will process between 60 and 70% of their requests electronically with no intervention from the staff. This would provide a huge time savings for the Registrar, greatly reduce paper consumption, and provide a much better and faster transcript ordering process for our students.
It looks like the only EAPP's efforts would be installing REST APIs in PeopleSoft, so their new cloud ordering site can bring back student information as they are ordering. This new system will also make PDF transcripts totally automated. The existing system requires us to manually upload the PDF generated by PeopleSoft to the NSC website.
