IES Abroad offers institutions and students the option of receiving transcripts via electronic delivery.
How to Sign Up If you are interested in signing up for electronic delivery or if you have any questions, contact Nancy Jo Black, IES Abroad Registrar, at njblack@iesabroad.org or 800.995.2300.
Benefits of Electronic Transcripts Electronic transcripting is being adopted system-wide on many university campuses across the country. Here’s why:
Secure: Only the intended recipient will be able to access the transcript thereby limiting the number of “hands” that touch a document. The recipient can then share it with whomever necessary.
Timely: Official transcripts are delivered and downloaded by the recipient all within minutes on any computer as opposed to waiting for standard mail delivery.
Sustainable: No paper, or transportation are involved in this process, and it also limits the amount of paper storage needed.
How Electronic Transcripting Works The electronic delivery method involves a two step e-mail process which is sent to whomever you have indicated as the appropriate recipient for your institution
The IES Abroad electronic transcript looks exactly the same as the paper transcript, only it is in PDF format and has a unique digital signature embedded in it by Verisign/GeoTrust. When the transcript is downloaded the recipient is able to verify its authenticity, proving that it was created and published by IES Abroad.
The PDF transcript can be downloaded and saved to any location (on the desktop, selected folders or on a file server) selected by the recipient. It can also be printed out, if needed. Designed for easy reference and retrieval, each transcript is an individual PDF document with a document name that includes the student name, program attended, and the date it was produced. However, multiple transcripts can also be delivered at once—saving time and email!
IES Abroad has piloted this option with several of our consortium member institutions, including Indiana University – Bloomington, Occidental College, Penn State University, Santa Clara University, William Jewell College, and Wofford College, with great success.

User Testimonials "IES Abroad’s ability to send electronic transcripts provides a secure, efficient way to receive transcripts as soon as they are available. As a result, our office has progressed in our efforts to go 'paperless' and students are quite satisfied with receiving quicker feedback from their programs. It also allows us to certify much more quickly for financial aid and NCAA processes.” -Dr. Ana Maria Wiseman, Dean of International Programs, Wofford College
“As a large public institution, Indiana University has dozens of students participate in IES programs each term. The electronic transmission of IES transcripts, through the secure Web site, is easy to use and timely. The download system gives immediate access and there are no longer delays while transcripts are in the mail, nor the expense of postal charges. It is a significantly improved and an incredibly convenient arrangement by which we receive final transcripts. I never want to go back to the old way of doing things!” -Susan A. Carty, Director of Administration & Program Management, Indiana University
“The main benefit of the electronic transcripts is the promptness of receipt. This truly benefits the student! I can usually receive and record the grades in one day.” -Lorraine Reitz, Records Manager, Penn State University
