"The California Community College (CCC) system is moving forward with plans to automate the way it manages
transcripts and transcript requests. Its proposed CCCTran System will enable the 2.9 million student-community
college system to enhance transcript security and turnaround time among its 109 campuses, and ‘trading partners,’
including the California State University (CSU) system, the University of California (UC) system, and California
Student Information Services (CSIS). CCC awarded Xap Corp. a contract to develop and implement the system.
Catherine McKenzie, a spokeswoman for the CCC’s Chancellor’s Office, said, ‘As the largest college system in the country,
we expect the CCCTran System to set the industry standard for efficient transcript processing.’ Transcript costs are
expected to decrease from the current $6-$10 for a conventional manually-issued transcript to $0.50 per
electronic transcript, she added. The new system will be a centralized service for securely transmitting
transcripts ‘in real time’ from CCC member schools to authorized educational institutions–regardless of
current student information systems or business practices for transcripts."
