Parchment’s e-Transcript Network Continues Growth in Second Quarter, Doubling Volume of Transactions


More than 200 high schools and colleges select Docufide in the second quarter, as the exchange network handles nearly 1 million e-Transcripts in first half of 2012

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (Aug. 9, 2012) – Propelled by the growing awareness among school leaders, students and alumni that electronic transcripts (e-Transcripts) offer a wide range of benefits, Docufide® by Parchment™ continued its strong growth in the second quarter of 2012. The industry-leading e-Transcript exchange network added more than 200 high schools and colleges between April and June.

Notable higher education institutions signing up with the Docufide Receiver or Sender paid service in the second quarter include Temple University, Northern Illinois University, Full Sail University and The College Network. On the secondary education side, Phoenix Union High School District, Scottsdale Unified School District, Montrose County School District, and Compton High School, among others, also signed up for Docufide Sender Full.

“We chose Docufide because it will provide an additional service that enables our students and alumni to easily request and send transcripts electronically,” said Don Fournier, division manager for information services at Phoenix Union High School District. “At the same time, district staff will benefit from reduced administrative burden associated with the fulfillment of transcript requests.”

Schools exchanged nearly 1 million transcripts through Docufide in the first half of 2012 – double the number exchanged in the first six months of last year. More than 30 percent of American high schools are in the Docufide network, with more than 1,600 higher education providers registered to receive transcripts electronically from Parchment. Students and alumni can visit Parchment.com or their school’s website to request and send transcripts through the Docufide network.
