Electronic Transcript Exchange at College of the Redwoods

Planning, Research & Development, College of the Redwoods

College of the Redwoods (CR) was awarded $57,902 by the California Community Colleges, Chancellor?s Office for the initial phase of the Telecommunications Model Applications Pilot Projects.

The first step in implementing the electronic transcript exchange program is establishing trading capability with nearby Humboldt State University (HSU). CR and HSU data processing and admissions staff have met this fall to define the parameters and data elements for transmission. When this crosswalk table programming is completed early in 1998, pilot testing of the transmission will be possible.

Project director Cathy Dellabalma and HSU registrar Dennis Geyer recently participated in SPEEDE/EXPRESS training at a national conference for admissions professionals. This has prepared them to design the necessary training for CR personnel. When programming and training are completed in a few months, transmission will be tested for accurate transmittal of information through hard copy verification.
