CERS Configuration (California)

Tool Search: Digital Learning Applications Configuration

School districts can integrate their SIS to the California Educator Reporting System (CERS) through the Digital Learning Applications Configuration tool. This CERS integration feature automates the creation of teacher-student group assignments in CERS and securely transfers student groups from Campus to CERS. 

Districts DO NOT need a Campus Learning License to configure and connect to CERS. 

This article provides instructions for establishing the connection and downloading Section Groups data for manual submission to CERS.
