Transcript Services for Tertiary Institutions
The ETX-NG platform takes the rigours out of results digitization and the desktop hassle out of transcript requests. Now it’s all done online; we do the digitization, students do the ordering whilst the institution does the processing. It is simple.
Our automated system gives students the freedom to request transcripts online, 24/7 from anywhere in the world without ever stepping foot in university offices. Transcripts are delivered to academic institutions, prospective employers and other recipients through our integrated Electronic Transcript Delivery Network or by traditional surface mail.
The Electronic Transcript Exchange of Nigeria (ETX-NG) enables participants (i.e., universities, polytechnics, colleges of education and other educational institutions) to securely exchange electronic transcripts with each other via our secure network. ETX-NG will also be connected to the Students Clearing House in USA to allow transcript exchange with over 3,000 universities and colleges in America.
The network consists of secure servers that support various protocols for transferring files. Files can be sent to the exchange using a variety of protocols and methods. Once the recipient is determined, the files are delivered to the recipient’s secure FTP mailbox, where they can be retrieved at any time and frequently.
Finally! No more phone calls, forms to fill out or data to enter. Transcripts On Demand speeds up delivery, lower costs and frees up time so you can focus on improving student service. Our service incorporates all the features institutions need to offer state-of-the-art online transcript ordering:
- Order collection and validation.

ETX-NG Receive™ for Transcript Receiving Institutions
Drawing upon the largest eTranscript exchange community in Nigeria, “ETX-NG Receive” is a solution for you to automatically verify, collate and attach all your incoming transcripts against student applications
Challenges
The predominantly manual way of processing academic transcripts within tertiary institutions in Nigeria is creating two major challenges:
- Transcript processing is very slow and can sometimes take months to receive – this is likely to affect your total admission rate.
- Transcript content manipulation is prevalent – as a result of this, you often send the transcripts to the school back for verification.
- Verifying transcripts can be quite burdensome, expensive and time taking, especially when performed using your own internal resources.
- In some cases, you don’t receive a timely feedback from the originating school and you’re then forced to award your degree based on trust and assumptions.
