Upload Transcripts

The Transfer Credit process begins with uploading a transcript for automated parsing and credit matching. This streamlined approach eliminates manual data entry by using AI-powered extraction and matching tools, allowing users to quickly initiate the transfer credit workflow.

To upload a transcript from the Transcripts Dashboard, watch the following demo:

Important Notes

  • Only PDF, JPG, and PNG files are currently supported.

  • No manual intervention is required during upload; all parsing and matching are handled automatically.

  • Users will be notified if any required transcript fields (e.g., student name or course list) are missing.

What Happens Next?

  • Each uploaded file is queued for automated parsing.

  • The system extracts structured data such as student information, courses, grades, and credits.

  • Extracted data is then matched against available degree programs and equivalency rules.


Automated Data Extraction

The credit evaluation process leverages advanced AI and OCR technologies to extract academic information from both scanned and digital transcripts. This ensures higher accuracy, improved processing speed, and reduced manual effort.

How It Works

  • The system uses Azure OCR and AI-based models to analyze each transcript.

  • Transcripts move through the following status states:

    • Processing : The transcript is currently undergoing OCR and data extraction. No user actions can be performed at this stage.

    • In Progress: The transcript is valid but missing key information such as the student’s name, institution, or course list. User intervention is required to complete or correct the data.

    • Ready : The transcript has been successfully processed and contains all required information. It is eligible for use in a transfer credit application.

    • In Application: The transcript is currently in use within an active Transfer Credit Evaluation (TCE) application and cannot be edited.

    • Failed: The file is invalid or not recognized as a transcript. It cannot be processed and should be replaced.

  • Extracted data is presented in a structured, searchable table with associated confidence scores.

  • A visual PDF viewer is displayed alongside the structured data for quick verification.

  • Each data point is assigned a confidence score to indicate the accuracy of the extraction and matching process.

Key Benefits

  • Reduces Manual Workloads: Transcript data is automatically captured and structured, eliminating the need for manual data entry.

  • Improves Accuracy: Confidence scoring highlights uncertain matches for targeted manual review.

  • Enhances Speed: Enables evaluation teams to process and review transcripts significantly faster.

  • Supports Scalability: Designed for bulk transcript processing across departments and partner institutions.
