The Duplicate IDs Report lists students who have the same Local ID (Student Number) and/or the same State ID as other students. The report searches for the duplicate Local IDs or State IDs that are assigned to multiple students across the entire district, regardless of the school selected in the Campus toolbar. ALL students associated with duplicate Local IDs and duplicate State IDs are returned, including inactive students.

It is recommended that users search for duplicate IDs by both Local IDs and State IDs to return maximum results.

Resolve Duplicate IDs

  • If the duplicate IDs refer to the same person, attempt to combine the records using the Combine Students tool.
  • If the duplicate IDs refer to different people, a Local ID needs to be reassigned per the manner directed by district policy.
  • If the duplicate students should actually be separate students, each with a unique State ID, the student records need to be resolved at both the district and state levels, and a new State ID needs to be assigned to one of the duplicates. If this scenario occurs, the district user needs to contact his/her designated support representative to enter a support ticket.

Search for the students returned in the report by using the All People search. Or, search by the Student Number on the Advanced Student Search.

If the duplicates refer to the same person, information may be syncing to the same State ID, or it may be syncing to multiple State IDs. Once the duplicates are resolved at the district level, all records should sync to the proper State ID. Verification with a state-level staff member may be necessary to resolve syncing and/or duplication issues at the state level.

Once the duplicates are resolved at the district and/or state level, records should sync properly. Verification with a state-level staff member may be necessary to resolve syncing and/or duplication issues at the state level. If multiple State IDs are involved, a support ticket must be entered to combine the records.
