• 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 93% eTranscripts and 7% paper transcripts.
• Paper official transcripts are now primarily processed off-site: only 138 transcripts were processed in the Registrar's Office in 2021-22.
  
• Paper official transcript volume is down to 546, 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 76 students studying away on non-Dartmouth programs (both transfer terms and exchanges).  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.

Transfer Term Students

Academic Year	2009	2010	2011	2012	2013	2014	2015	2016	2017	2018	2019	2020	2021	2022

TOTAL # of STUDENTS	240	211	250	248	101	88	56	53	51	64	82	89	43	44

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.
