Let Your Students Tell Their Story to Employers With A Holistic Learner Record

A traditional transcript is limited in the ways that it can communicate a learner’s education. Higher education institutions are looking to Comprehensive Learner Records (CLRs) to help their learners shape their choices as they progress through their degree, as well as better represent their experiences at their institution.

Showcase student success beyond the transcript

Parchment CLR Services help you identify, structure, and share every dimension of learning — from academics to co-curricular achievements — in one secure, student-centered record.

Better Align Learner Experiences to Workforce Needs

Help employers understand what skills and competencies your learners bring to the table by better representing their experiences and abilities through a CLR.

Guide All Learners Towards Post-Academic Success

Bridge the gap between the skills your learners have and what they need to get that job. Parchment CLRs let you guide learners towards meeting job requirements while they are still forming their skillset.

Increase Retention by Showing Progress Towards Goals

Encourage learners to complete their degree by showing their progress towards their goal. A Parchment CLR grows with a learner and gives them a finish line they can reach for.

Drive Learner Adoption Using Institutionally Proven Processes

As part of CLR Services, we offer consulting to ensure that the learnings we have acquired through having the largest network of CLR issuers help your institution successfully deploy a new credential.

“[A CLR] is fundamental to helping students tell their story in a way that employers can understand and that they have the ability to be successful. Parchment is helping us do that.”

We work with your team to create a phased, achievable implementation plan tailored to your goals, resources, and timeline.

Through our partnership with AACRAO Consulting, you’ll have access to expert guidance grounded in best practices and real institutional success. Together, we bring deep implementation experience and a proven framework to help you move forward with clarity and confidence — one step at a time.

CLR Consulting

We work with institutions at different stages of their CLR creation process. That’s why Parchment CLR Services includes consulting services to help you through the process of creating your CLR plan and executing on it, no matter which stage you are at.

Data Upload

Parchment supports you through the process of uploading your learning experiences and outcomes data into CLR Services. Whether it’s academic, competency, or co-curricular learner data, CLR Services easily feeds your data into the modules of your customized credential.

CLR Design

You don’t need to be a designer to have a beautifully designed credential! We work with you to build a CLR that comprehensively represents your students and your institution using visually stunning customizable modules.

Credential Design Library

Generated documents are saved to your Parchment library for easy access and issuance. From the library, you can preview your credential design and continue to use customized designs in your library with new or updated learner data.

Real Institutions. Real Impact.

Learn how your peers brought their CLRs to life — and what you can take from their experience.

“The purpose is for the student to really be able to tell their own story about their holistic development… and to exhibit leadership and experiential learning.”

“We wanted to give employers an assurance that our students have these competencies when they graduate… provide evidence of the development of those competencies.”

— Christie Rodgers, Interim Associate Provost

“When students would come in, it was common that students wouldn’t remember their accomplishments… Now, when we show them their experiential transcript, they are floored at what they have done.”

— Dr. Rodney Parks, Registrar & AVP
