The EDI Server began in 1996 with a few institutions in Texas. Now, there are 480 institutions registered with the Server in over 30 states. The EDI Server is a free service, which is used by educational institutions to deliver transcripts, applications for admission and test scores via the internet. In the session, the presenter went over how to register. Information needed to register is school name and code, contact name, e-mail address and telephone number.
Security is always an issue with transcripts.
