Each student enrolled in North Carolina school districts and each staff person employed at a North Carolina school district has a unique identifier (UID). In Campus, this is called a State ID. Logic exists to integrate with NC DPI to search for a state ID for students and staff who are not already assigned a UID.
This is only to be used when the Student State ID field is blank or when the Staff State ID Field is blank.

This button searches NC DPI to locate the state ID using a fuzzy search. Matching results return and the user can select the appropriate option if a result is found. When no results are found or none of the returned results are correct, a new State ID can be issued for the student.
Before assigning a State ID:
- For Students: Use the Student Locator to find any instance of the student in both your local District and at the State. When the student is NOT found, it is assumed they have never been enrolled in any North Carolina public school.
- For Staff: Use the Staff Locator to find any instance of the staff person at your local District and at the State. When the staff person is NOT found, it is assumed they have never been employed at any North Carolina school district.
Assign a new Student State ID
- In the Person Identifiers editor, verify the Student State ID field is blank.
- Click the Assign NC Student ID field. A Student NC DPI Lookup form displays.
- The Last Name, First Name, Sex and Birth Date fields are populated based on the selected student. Additional data can be entered to narrow the results - Middle Name, Suffix, Race/Ethnicity.
- Click Search. Matching results are listed in the Results pain.
- Select the matching results. This adds the student's State ID that exists in DPI to Campus.
- Or, when there are no matching results or incorrect results, click the Register with NC DPI button. This creates and assigns a new State ID for the student.
Note the following:
- This new ID number CANNOT be modified. When it is determined that a new ID needs to be corrected, contact NC DPI and Campus Support.
- When the unique identifier (UID) system is unavailable, new student enrollments cannot be created because the UID system requires an ID. Demographic updates for existing students can also not be made.
