Case Study

The Challenge:

  • Manual, time-consuming transcript requests
  • Delays in scholarships, financial aid, and college applications
  • High printing and mailing costs
  • Staff overwhelmed with calls and paperwork
  • No visibility into order status

The Results:

  • Streamlined support for college-bound students
  • Major time and cost savings for staff
  • Enhanced service for alumni and the broader community

 

“Prior to Parchment, we were doing the entire [records] process manually, so it would take quite a bit of time to produce the final product. During graduation, we were printing 5 copies of a transcript for each of the 3,000 grads. That’s just an enormous amount of work to be done, especially when some of the grads never even picked them up.”

Director of Admissions, United ISD
