• Unofficial Banner Transcripts were made available to students in December of 2009
• Unofficial eTranscripts were made available to students in January 2013
• Both have contributed greatly to the continuing decrease in the overall official transcript volume.
• This allows students to use unofficial transcripts when there is no need to use an official transcript and is a cost savings to the College.
• Official transcript volume is split 92% eTranscripts and 8% paper transcripts.
• Paper official transcripts are now primarily processed off-site: only 165 transcripts were processed in the Registrar's Office in 2020-21. Some of the decline this year is due to remote work restrictions because of COVID-19.
• Paper official transcript volume is down to 645, from a high of 19,159 in 2009.

*Some data missing for 2013-14.

We modified our enrollment reporting processes to the National Student Clearinghouse in 2018 which minimized the time at the beginning of terms where online verifications were unvailable; staff-assisted verifications have dropped almost in half as a result.

We supported 43 students studying away on non-Dartmouth programs (transfer terms).  While transfer term regulations were eased in spring 2020 in response to the global pandemic, travel restrictions limited the number of opportunities in 2020-21.

Note: The significant drop in the number of transfer term students which started in 2013 is a result of new Committee on Instruction (COI) policies.

*Transfer term restrictions were eased in spring 2020 due to COVID-19.
