Stanford University has enhanced its graduate admissions process by integrating secure e-transcripts through a partnership with CollegeNET. This innovative system facilitates the timely submission and verification of transcripts for over 40,000 applications across 66+ graduate departments. By adopting paperless solutions, we achieve greater efficiency, reduce the reliance on paper, and ensure that evaluators have clear and accessible copies of transcripts. This transformation not only simplifies the admissions process but also enhances the overall experience for both applicants and staff.
