The IDTS project will benefit students, teachers, admissions officers and registrars, and counselors at all levels:
Students
Through the College Student Admission and Placement Profile (CSAPP), a student is able to electronically present a detailed comprehensive record of his or her high school accomplishments and college preparation almost instantly, and immediately knows that his or her record was accurately received.Admissions Officers/Registrars
The Secure Student Identifier (SSID), a component of the IDTS, provides a unique identifier for each student and ensures greater efficiency and accuracy in processing each student's application. The electronic record reduces data entry time and errors and provides additional information for evaluating an application.
High School Teachers, Counselors, and Administrators
High schools receive annual reportsabout the college performance of their Oregon graduates who are in the state's public
postsecondary institutions. Time and cost savings compared with the traditional paper process
for transcripts will help conserve already limited resources.
OUS and Community Colleges
Provides a more comprehensive set of student preparation information, potentially allowing more accurate placement and advising. Simplifies transcript exchange among post-secondary institutions.
State of Oregon/Decision-makers
The IDTS project is a critical piece of infrastructure needed by the joint boards of education in pursuit of a seamless education system. It allows the development of policy to streamline educational processes and support Oregon’s emerging proficiency-based system as an important measure of student preparation and success.
