Electronic transcripts are no longer a concept awaiting definition. They are here to stay. Although paper transcripts remain the standard--at least in terms of volume--an ever-increasing number and eventual majority of students and alumni will expect if not require electronic transcripts. College registrars and admissions officers' obligation to maintain the accuracy and security of transcripts is obvious, absolute, and permanent. Electronic transcripts are just the latest in a long line of technological advances that registrars have embraced at first with caution but then with open arms. Delivery of paper transcripts by postal or even expedited services is coming to be considered too slow. Over the last two decades, and particularly during the last eight years, a small but effective set of electronic delivery methods has emerged that supports registrars' transmitting of transcripts. In most cases, the delivery method determines the medium in which the transcript is to be produced (or vice versa). This article describes electronic technologies currently used by registrars for the production of official transcripts. It focuses on EDI, XML and pdf transcript production and delivery methods in postsecondary education, including for transfer student and graduate and professional school admissions.
