ISAC Transcript Exchange – Back to School Webinars

08/18/2021

It's that time of year again – back to school season! As staff and students are heading back to school, we want to remind you that the ISAC Transcript Exchange, through our partnership with Parchment, enables the electronic exchange of transcript information for Illinois students. The Parchment K12 team is offering an online webinar on two different dates to cover topics that will benefit you and your learners to help start the new school year successfully. The session will provide a refresher of Parchment features, updates on the newest product enhancements, tips for communicating with your students about transcripts and the Parchment platform, and additional resources, training, and support. Click on the date and time below to register for a webinar that best fits your schedule. If you register for a webinar and are unable to attend it, Parchment will send you a recording of the session.

If you're not familiar with the ISAC Transcript Exchange, the service provides the opportunity for high school students to request that transcripts be sent electronically to the college(s) of their choice and to other organizations requesting transcripts (e.g., scholarships providers). Through the ISAC Transcript Exchange, Illinois high schools are able to use the Parchment electronic service at no cost. Current students are able to request that transcripts be sent electronically to destinations free of charge. Alumni are also able to use Parchment for transcript requests that includes a transcript fee. To protect the privacy and confidentiality of transcript data, documents are sent through a secure transcript service in compliance with the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).

If your school is not currently taking advantage of the ISAC Transcript Exchange and you would like to learn more about the service, please contact Lenore Smith from ISAC at Lenore.Smith@illinois.gov.
