ConnectEDU Approved for Transmittal of A+ Certified Transcripts
BOSTON, June 3 /PRNewswire/ -- ConnectEDU, Inc., is pleased to announce
that the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, A+
School/Charter Schools Office has approved ConnectEDU for the transmittal of
A+ certified transcripts. ConnectEDU, a comprehensive education solution
vendor, has met the necessaryMissouri requirements to provide secure
transmittal of these documents by both meeting the Federal Education Rights
and Privacy Act (FERPA) standards and complying with Postsecondary Electronic
Standards Council (PESC). Hundreds ofMissouri high schools are now able to
transmit secure electronic transcripts to colleges at no cost when they join
the Connect! National Network(TM).
According to Dr. James Kellerman, Executive Director & CEO of the Missouri
Community College Association, "For over two years, community colleges in
Missouri have watched as colleges across the country have joined us in
modernizing admissions by receiving electronic transcripts from high schools
through the Connect! platform. With ConnectEDU's approval to transmit A+
certified transcripts, we can continue to build a robust network between high
schools and colleges to simplify access to higher education."
Within ConnectEDU's Connect! platform, the A+ designation will be
indicated on the transcript replacing the A+ seal, as certified by the A+
coordinator at participating high schools. This designation on the A+
transcript will also serve as proper indication to participating community
colleges and career technical schools that the student meets the requirements
of the A+ program. Prior to this approval, high schools had to process and
send paper transcripts.
"This is a milestone for students inMissouri," said Craig Powell,
President & CEO of ConnectEDU. "Using technology to streamline admission
breaks down barriers to a college degree. ConnectEDU is proud to have a role
in that process."
