System and method for assembling complex document sets from geographically disparate sources

摘要

A method includes assigning a respective document tracking identifier to each of a plurality of documents. The documents are required for a college admission application. The user is allowed to register, with a central computer, as an applicant for college admissions in connection with the college admission application. The document tracking identifiers are associated with the user. It is detected whether or not the documents are handled by a document delivery service. A report is made to the user, via the central computer, as to at least some data obtained from the detecting step.
