Student Record Exchange
After Hurricanes Irma and Maria, a significant number of primary and secondary students from Puerto Rico Department of Education temporarily relocated to the United States. Most of these students did not have available to them the appropriate student records to complete a typical enrollment process, putting a substantial load on school district's admissions and student allocation processes.
Student Records Exchange (SRX) is a platform developed by the Puerto Rico Department of Education to facilitate the exchange of the student records with other districts to expedite their enrollment process at their schools and postsecondary institutions.
The platform is in continuous improvement to include new services and processes in order to facilitate parents, counselors and enrollment officers access to documents and information.
Who will use the SRX?
The SRX will be used by district and school personnel that need the PRDE student transcript information to make appropriate decisions on enrollment, grade and course placement, and accrual of credits.
How is SRX used by guidance counselors?
Guidance counselors can use SRX to access a student's enrollment, course credit, and PRDE graduation requirements. With this information, registrars and guidance counselors can appropriately place students when they arrive at a new school as well as verify the credits that the student has accrued for primary and secondary requirements. Postsecondary institutions can also benefit form SRX gaining access to new students information.
Parents can also benefit from SRX by being able to obtain: enrollment certifications, access to the Individualized Education Plan of students in the Special Education Program.
The benefits of this platform include:
- Streamlines the student enrollment process in the public education system
- Allows students to continue their studies without delay
- Provides all information and processes in one place and in simple steps
- Allows tracking of requests so that the user can know the status of their request in real-time.
What training is available for the SRX?
SRX contains training and comprehensive user manuals for reading online or download that provide step-by-step instructions for using SRX. These resources will be available for parents at the top of the SRX home page once the person enter the username and password. Users may download the training material at any time. SRX also offers online help and a help desk assistance.
