Columbia College Chicago is live with Credentials Solutions Transcript Services

November 10, 2017 - Columbia College Chicago is live on TranscriptsPlus®, enabling students and alumni to order transcripts online 24/7. This system is a secure, compliant, and user-friendly solution that automates the entire transcript ordering process. It is tailored to fit the college's unique policies and procedures including service options, pricing and school branding.

Columbia College Chicago also utilizes Credentials' propriety back-end automation software RoboRegistrar®. Working in concert with TranscriptsPlus, RoboRegistrar locates records, authenticates students and alumni, communicates with students via email and text and facilitates order fulfillment. In addition to the automation, the college especially likes the fact that the system checks for holds before charging the student, which has resulted in fewer transcript resends and less paper used.

This self-service environment for students reduces data input by staff and collects all fees on behalf of the college as a third party certified PCI DSS Tier 1 compliant payment processor. Credentials Solutions also handles all customer service calls on behalf of the college, which has resulted in fewer students in line and phone calls, allowing Columbia College to redeploy its staff.
