Do your transcripts live in one system, diplomas with a print vendor, and badges somewhere else?
Digital credentials have grown in popularity and complexity, and registrar offices have had to figure out how to accommodate them all on the fly. But as offices added one credential type at a time, one vendor at a time, those platforms created more logins and places for a request to stall.
Take this quick quiz from Parchment by Instructure to see how connected your credentials are and what it takes to bring them all together.
What this quiz reveals about your credentialing.
Six questions lead to four possible results, plus next steps to help your institution manage every credential with less effort. The quiz measures:
- How many systems and vendors your credentials run through
- How well those systems connect to your student information system (SIS)
- How fast you fulfill a transcript request
- How easily learners find and share what they've earned
- How long learners keep access after graduation
- How much work it takes to add a new credential type
In the 2026 State of Continuing Education report from UPCEA, Modern Campus, and The EvoLLLution, only 27 percent of respondents said their continuing education unit's technology fully integrates with main campus systems.
One platform for every credential means less work for your team and one place for learners to keep what they've earned. Parchment issues transcripts, diplomas, certificates, digital badges, and comprehensive learner records (CLRs) from a single platform. Plus, the Learner Dashboard gives learners one place to access and share all of them for life.
