Florida Automated System for Transferring Educational Records (FASTER)
FASTER and its interface to SPEEDE/ExPRESS
FASTER and SPEEDE/ExPRESS are sets of predefined data formats used by educational institutions to electronically exchange student records and transcripts. Institutions must subscribe to the FASTER and/or SPEEDE/ExPRESS systems in order to participate in this exchange.
It is the policy of the Articulation Coordinating Committee that all student transcripts exchanged between Florida public schools, state colleges, and state universities, and the Florida Department of Education be accomplished via FASTER using the FASTER formats and the FASTER transmission system. This policy is not intended to prohibit or restrict school districts or state colleges and universities from using other methods to provided hard-copy versions or PDF versions of student transcripts for students to use when applying for employment or as needed for postsecondary institutions that do not participate in FASTER.
The FASTER System is for use by institutions and school districts and is not for personal use by students. Individuals seeking transcripts should contact their institution directly.
Reminder: FASTER does not support emailed/PDF transcripts.
