UNN Begins i-Transcript Service, Digitizes Results Of Past 20 Years

The University of Nigeria Nsukka has has introduced online portal for transcripts that enables her alumni to access their transcripts from anywhere in the world.

The University disclosed that the introduction of the service was to ease the burden of students who often have to travel all the way down to the school for the sole purpose of getting a transcript of their academic records for graduate studies or employment.

The UNN “i-transcript”, as it is branded, is accessible on the university website alumni.unn.edu.ng/itranscript.

Users are expected fill a form with their names, matriculation as well as email address after which they will provide details of the institution to which they want the University to send the transcript.

The Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof BarthoOkolo said the UNN i-transcript service draws from on-going work on digitizing academic records in the institution.

The first part of the exercise, according to him, involves digitization of records of the last 30 years up to 1980. The school has digitized records of students’ academic work for the last 20 years.

In the second phase, the institution would compile records up to its inception in 1960.

“Every student can get his records from the transcript portal. They apply online, pay using any of the payment services and get a signed and authenticated e-transcript in a few days.

“Hard copy records would be couriered either locally or internationally and take a few more days as well as cost additional sums.” he explained.

Okolo said the e-transcript service is one of several reforms aimed at fulfilling the transformation vision for the university. It builds on efforts in the last two academic sessions to ensure that graduands get their certificates immediately while semester examination results are compiled and approved by faculties and senate within 14 days of examinations ending.
