Utah Valley University
Electronic Transcripts using FormFusion
Date/Time: Monday, March 23rd - 1:30 PM
ID: 0417
Curriculum: Student Administration
Program: Banner
Focus: Banner Student
Description: The National Student Loan Clearinghouse has an Electronic Transcript Exchange (ETX) service that allows institutions to exchange PDF transcripts through them. We have used the Evisions' FormFusion product to create a template for transcripts that determines whether the PDF transcript should be printed for mailing or FTP'd to the ETX service. The FormFusion template refers to the SORXREF table to determine whether to send or to print. The SORXREF table holds the entries for institutions that are ready to receive PDF transcripts from us. If an entry for an institution (or individual) does not exist in SORXREF, the transcript is printed for mailing. If there is an entry for the receiving institution in SORXREF the transcript is copied to a directory which is used to FTP to NSLC nightly (we also receive nightly). NSLC sends a confirmation email when they receive a transcript from a sending institution. At that same time they send an email download alert to the institution that is to receive the transcript.
