Question 1

What does a West Virginia school office usually fax?

Accepted Answer

Student transcripts, immunization and health records, special-education documents such as IEPs and evaluations, enrollment and withdrawal forms, and records requests between districts. Many of these go to offices that still prefer fax, and the confirmation page gives the sending school proof the records arrived.

Question 2

Is faxing student records over Send FAX Mail compliant with FERPA?

Accepted Answer

FERPA asks schools to control how education records are disclosed and to keep a record of disclosures. Send FAX Mail encrypts each transmission and stores files with AES-256, and it logs every send and receive, which gives a WV district the documentation it needs to show a record went only to the intended office.

Question 3

Can WVU or Marshall registrars use this for transcript requests?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A registrar's office can receive incoming transcript and verification requests by fax directly to email, and send official records back out the same way. Higher plans add multiple numbers, so a large campus can separate admissions, the registrar, and financial aid lines.

Question 4

How much does Send FAX Mail cost for a West Virginia school?

Accepted Answer

Plans begin at $12.99/month, which fits a single school office, and a 7-day free trial lets staff send before the district commits. If a transcript-heavy stretch runs past your plan's page allowance, you move up a tier rather than paying per page. Picking your fax number is free, so a county district can keep a recognizable local number.

Question 5

Do special-education records need a higher plan?

Accepted Answer

If your office handles medical evaluations or health information alongside IEPs, the Business plan at $54.99/month adds a signed BAA and keeps those documents inside your account rather than as email attachments. For routine transcripts and enrollment forms, a lower plan is usually enough.
