eRecordsUSA – Trusted Partner for FERPA-Compliant Student Record Digitization

Preserve Accuracy & Academic Integrity

Physical records are vulnerable to fading, tearing, and filing errors. Our FADGI-compliant scanning captures critical student data—transcripts, IEPs, disciplinary records, and enrollment files—with high-resolution clarity to ensure long-term authenticity and audit trail continuity.

 

Maximize Office Space & Remote Accessibility

Eliminate filing cabinets and physical storage costs. Digitized archives allow 24/7 access for authorized users—whether it’s a registrar in Fremont, a superintendent in Oakland, or a state auditor—streamlining both daily tasks and compliance reporting.

 

Enable Instant, Attribute-Level Retrieval

Through advanced OCR and metadata structuring, student records are transformed into searchable digital archives. Locate files instantly by student ID, date of birth, graduation year, or document type, reducing administrative burden and improving responsiveness during audits or transfers.

 

Mitigate Risk & Ensure Continuity

Natural disasters, accidental disposal, and legacy hardware failures threaten record integrity. Our cloud-optimized, encrypted formats enable safe archival in platforms like Google Workspace for Education, OneDrive, or district SIS platforms, supporting long-term digital resilience and emergency data recovery.

 

Step-by-Step Workflow

How eRecordsUSA Scans Student Records?

Our end-to-end digitization workflow is designed specifically for FERPA-regulated, high-volume student records projects. We help school districts, colleges, and education service agencies modernize their archives while maintaining compliance, security, and data accessibility across all stages.

 

1. Strategic Consultation & Scope Definition

We begin with a comprehensive review of your records—transcripts, enrollment forms, IEPs, disciplinary logs, and financial aid files—to define a digitization roadmap aligned with FERPA, Title IV, and district retention policies.

2. Secure Pickup & Chain-of-Custody Assurance

Documents are collected by trained, background-checked personnel using tamper-evident transport containers. Every movement is logged to maintain full chain-of-custody control, ensuring accountability from pickup to return or destruction.

3. Document Preparation for Scanning

Our prep team removes staples, repairs damaged pages, and preserves folder structure. This safeguards document order and ensures clean scans for student information systems (SIS) integration.

4. High-Resolution Scanning + OCR

Using FADGI-rated scanners, we digitize each page at 300–600 DPI. Advanced OCR converts printed and handwritten data into searchable text, supporting both regulatory audits and internal access workflows.

5. Metadata Tagging & Record Indexing

Each document is tagged with key identifiers—student name, ID number, graduation year, record type—for quick retrieval via district databases, DMS platforms, or local servers.

7. Secure Digital File Delivery

Scanned records are delivered via secure FTP, encrypted hard drives, or cloud platforms such as Google Drive, SharePoint, or Dropbox, with structure-ready formats for SIS, ECM, or archive integration.

6. Rigorous Multi-Stage Quality Control

We conduct page-by-page and batch-level reviews to ensure image clarity, index accuracy, and document completeness. All QC checkpoints are logged for transparency and audit readiness.

8. Optional Certified Document Shredding

Once digitization is validated, we offer NAID-compliant shredding to securely dispose of original documents and reduce physical storage liability—certificates of destruction provided.

Audience Segments We Serve

Flexible Digitization for All Records Formats

What Types of Documents Do eRecordsUSA Digitize?

At eRecordsUSA, we handle all major document formats with precision and care. Whether you’re working with loose issues, oversized bound volumes, or archival microformats, our process is adapted to the condition and structure of your collection—ensuring aligned outputs, searchable content, and digital continuity.

1. Loose Documents

Ideal for decades of unbound records stored in folders or boxes. These materials are scanned using calibrated flatbed equipment with built-in alignment correction, skew adjustment, and fine hierarchy structuring. Perfect for libraries, publishers, and archive bulk conversions.

3. Microfilm & Microfiche

Our team converts 16mm, 35mm, and fiche rolls into high-resolution digital images. Each frame is indexed and enhanced to create fully searchable digital microfilm archives, supporting legacy preservation initiatives across public and private institutions.

2. Bound Volumes

We scan oversized and tightly bound records using non-contact, high-clearance scanners that prevent spine damage and stress. Multi-page volumes are output with pagination recognition, OCR tagging, and metadata alignment. Ideal for universities and historical preservation.

4. Inserts, Fold-Outs & Supplements

We also digitize inserts, maps, illustrated supplements, and special fold-out sections. These are scanned with parent-page references to maintain logical continuity and ensure that no contextual content is lost during the process.
