ABSTRACT The current approach adopted by universities in Ghana to verify transcripts is timeconsuming and error-prone. The verification process involves personnel comparing students’ grades on a hard copy transcript to grades retrieved from the academic institution’s database. This approach increases the possibility of academic institutions mistakenly approving incorrect or falsified transcripts as genuine. In this project, a software system is developed to automate the transcript verification process at Ashesi University College. The system is used to generate transcripts with QR code embedded on them. The information stored in the QR code is used to automate the transcript verification process
