EDI Services for Educators

 The use of EDI in higher education has been dramatic over the past 20 years, especially in the area of student records. In the U.S., more than 500 colleges or universities and more than 200 elementary/secondary schools are using EDI, particularly for the transmission of transcripts during the admissions process.

 Student records were maintained electronically in student information systems, but when this information was exchanged it was typically printed and mailed. The development of standard formats has made the electronic exchange of transcripts and other student information a practical reality.
