JOINT REGENT Student transcript processing software

The University of Iowa and the University of Northern Iowa are seeking a comprehensive student transcript processing software to modernize and streamline the evaluation of academic records. The software should be able to read, extract, and interpret detailed academic information from a wide variety of transcript formats. The Universities require a solution that employs advanced OCR, machine learning, or similar technologies to reliably interpret these variations and convert them into structured, standardized data. The software should also provide seamless integration with the Universities' existing systems, including the University of Iowa's Student Information System and the University of Northern Iowa's PeopleSoft and UnityClient Onbase. Some key features and functionalities required include: - Ability to process transcripts for first-year applicants (University of Iowa) and transfer students (University of Northern Iowa) - Advanced OCR and machine learning capabilities to extract and interpret academic data - Seamless integration with existing University systems - Ability to provide customized data exports - Access to a comprehensive course equivalency database (University of Northern Iowa) - Structured workflows for faculty to review and approve new course equivalencies (University of Northern Iowa) - Ability to track issues and provide status updates - Maintenance and technical support services - Compliance with Section 508 Standards Some of the key benefits of this project include: - Reduced operational bottlenecks and manual workload - Increased accuracy and efficiency in evaluating academic records - Improved decision-making and reporting capabilities - Enhanced student experience through timely and equitable admissions decisions
