eTranscripts named a “Reader’s Choice Top Product” by University Business Readers
HERNDON, VA, JAN. 13, 2016 – The National Student Clearinghouse and Ellucian’s eTranscripts service has been recognized for making a positive difference on college campuses by higher education leaders who named it to University Business magazine’s “Readers’ Choice Top Products” for 2016. The winners were compiled from hundreds of nominations from the magazine’s readers over the past year.
“This solution has allowed our operations to be vastly improved and efficient,” said Rob Fitzgerald, University Registrar, Brown University. “The majority of transcript requests—from initial order to fulfillment—now take a matter of minutes with virtually no human involvement. This has allowed us to direct human capital resources elsewhere and has provided our constituents with better service.”
The University Business Readers’ Choice Top Products award program informs higher education leaders about products their colleagues around the country are using to help their campuses excel in a variety of areas, such as technology, sustainability, and academic instruction.
