Auto Transcript Processing = Piece of Cake

An academic transcript is a record of each credit course that a student has enrolled in during his or her time spent at their chosen institution to pursue a degree. The academic transcript lists the course numbers, titles, credits, and grades earned, along with any available degree information. If a student has transfer credits, transcripts for those courses also are required to be requested from the originating institution. Regardless of how such academic transcripts are ordered, transcripts cannot be provided immediately upon request. It takes approximately three to five business days to? just process transcript requests. During busy periods for institutions, such as around the holidays, leading up to graduate school application deadlines, etc., it can take even longer to process transcript requests.?

How does the process work? How long does it take?

Your first step is to check with your registrar’s office, because your school may have a variety of ways to order a transcript. You may need to fill out a form, pay a fee and then have to wait a stretch of time before it can be released. Institutions usually receive hundreds of transcripts each day. No matter how the school receives it, they may not be able to process for almost a month, or even longer.?

The increase in the number of students in higher education institutions has posed great challenges for the university’s administration. One important challenge is the delayed computation and issuance of transcripts. This delay is apparent because such universities and colleges are manually processing transcripts. No doubt, the manual transcript processing process is time consuming, more prone to errors, costly, and stressful. The manual transcript processing system, in some cases, the transcript has been wrongly computed, while quite a number of students have lost admissions due to the unnecessary delay associated with the manual process. However, an automated transcript processing system is here, allowing for greater operational efficiency and transforming the enrollment process.

Sia, by OneOrigin, is the world’s first Unified Artificial Intelligence engine with an automated transcript processing feature that is capable of processing 1000’s of transcripts in a second. The transcript process is not only automating the existing manual process of transcript processing, but also speeds up transcript processing as the system is capable of processing several thousand transcripts in a few seconds with high levels of accuracy; regardless of the transcripts format. Sia, with out-of-the-box intricate image recognition algorithms, can read, detect and extract courses, programs, credits and GPA-related metrics from any transcript instantly. Once the transcripts are processed, the extracted data is then pushed automatically to a college or university’s student information system and/or any other systems. Sia’s automated transcript processing requires fewer human hands, will save you money, and will guarantee a sigh of relief away from the usual stress of manually processing each transcript.
