3C: Maximize Learner Experience With One Credential Solution Partner
Location: Executive

What efficiencies could you create in your Admissions and Registrar’s Offices if you could manage all credentials on a single platform, including sending, receiving, and processing transcripts; recruiting; and issuing diplomas, certificates, CLRs, and badges? A comprehensive credential system is becoming essential to creating a streamlined, consistent learner experience across digital and print requests, all while freeing up time for more strategic projects. Hear how institutions are saving time and money moving to a comprehensive platform, and learn how they are better serving their students with a modern credential experience.
