No, only an Internet browser and a PDF reader (Adobe Reader 7.0 or higher) are required. School records that have been imaged or photocopied can not be delivered using eSCRIP-SAFE. You will be notified by eSCRIP-SAFE when new transcripts are ready to retrieve. Simply logon to the eSCRIP-SAFE website to view your new transcripts and download and save to your desktop. Once retrieved, the receiving school has three options to retain the electronic transcripts: (1) saving it to the institution's document imaging system; (2) saving it electronically as a PDF document; or (3) printing to paper. eSCRIP-SAFE electronic transcripts are PDF documents and require use of appropriate software such as the free copy of Adobe Reader® (7.0 or higher) to read. Electronic Transcripts are available on the eSCRIP-SAFE Web site for 24 hours after initial viewing. After 24 hours the transcript is deleted from the system and will not be available. The 24 hour clock does not begin until the transcript is first viewed. First, each institution sending transcripts appoints eSCRIP-SAFE as an authorized delivery agent. Second, only institutions vetted and approved by SCRIP-SAFE are allowed to participate in the eSS delivery network. Further, all participating high schools and colleges must be accredited. Finally, while the transcript remains within the trusted network, there is an inherent guarantee that the transcript is original and unaltered. If the PDF transcript is electronically saved outside of the trusted network, a unique eSCRIP-SAFE service called DOC-SAFE Security enables immediate on-line verification. Bottom Line: The eSCRIP-SAFE transcript sent is the transcript you received! | | |
