Question 1

What do Nebraska schools fax most?

Accepted Answer

Student transcripts, immunization and health records, IEP and special education documents, enrollment and withdrawal forms, and records requests between districts are the common items. When a family moves between Nebraska districts, the sending school often faxes the cumulative file, and the confirmation page shows exactly when the transfer happened.

Question 2

Does faxing student records meet FERPA requirements?

Accepted Answer

FERPA requires that schools protect personally identifiable information in education records and disclose it only to authorized recipients. Faxing over an encrypted connection to a known number, with a transmission confirmation kept on file, gives a Nebraska school a record that the disclosure was directed to the intended party. The dashboard log lets staff confirm where each record went.

Question 3

Can a Nebraska district set this up across multiple buildings?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Rather than a separate fax machine and phone line in every building, schools across a district can work from shared account access, and you choose the fax numbers, including 402, 308, and 531 Nebraska area codes, at no extra charge. That usually costs much less than maintaining standalone lines at each campus.

Question 4

How much does it cost for a school or department?

Accepted Answer

Plans start at $12.99 a month for a single office, and larger plans cover the volume a district registrar or college admissions team handles. Each tier sets its own monthly page allowance, so an office that outgrows one moves up to the next, with no setup fee and no contract, and a small school can start without a budget approval cycle.

Question 5

Can college admissions offices receive transcripts this way?

Accepted Answer

Yes. University of Nebraska campuses, the Nebraska State College System schools, and community colleges receive transcripts and supporting documents by fax. Incoming faxes arrive as PDFs in email and in the searchable dashboard, so an admissions office can route a transcript to the right applicant file without scanning paper.
