That is why growing numbers of colleges, universities and other higher educational organizations are adopting electronic records management (ERM) solutions to seamlessly manage student records through constantly changing admissions processes, as well as to stay ahead of current and future challenges. Additionally, ERM brings higher education institutions up to speed with millennials, who are digital natives accustomed to modern digital user experiences — outmoded admissions processes may give them a bad impression. Today, ERM solutions are making the most impact in departments such as financial aid, registrar records and graduate admissions processing. For one example, let’s turn to a grueling admissions scenario that you may not immediately associate with student records management: student immunization forms for one of your college’s sports teams.
When a student athlete arrives on campus for the team’s first practice, your athletics department asks for the student’s medical and immunization records. Upon receiving the required documents, your athletic department has met its requirement and sheds any further responsibility to share the records with health services or admissions — and that is where the gridlock begins.
