The Groningen Declaration is an international network of education institutions, ministries of education, and employers focused on developing best practices and globally accepted standards for secure, citizen-centered consultation and portability of digital student data.
On April 18, Elon University joined Stanford University, Johns Hopkins University, University of Texas-Austin, and Duke University as the only five American universities to sign the Groningen Declaration.
The Groningen Declaration is an international network of education institutions, ministries of education, and employers focused on developing best practices and globally accepted standards for secure, citizen-centered consultation and portability of digital student data. As business and travel are conducted more through digital mediums, higher education must adapt to provide students with credentials that are protected and shareable for third parties.
As higher education becomes more necessary in the workplace, the need for global standards on credentialing that fully captures the student’s four-year experience becomes imperative. As a national leader in the expansion of the academic record, Elon will continue to play a role in shaping the next generation of academic records.
