Search Terms: SASID Import

The SASID Import imports new student State ID numbers to the Campus database. In Rhode Island, the State ID is a unique 10-digit numeric identifier the Department of Education assigns to each student and staff in a PK-12 public institution. Only student identifiers are imported with this tool.

Import Logic

The first line of the import file is ignored. Usually the first line of the import is a header row; when it is not a header row but a state id record, the state ID is not imported. 

The first seven fields must be the following and must match on student data in order to import the student's state ID:

  • SASIS
  • LASID
  • LASTNAME
  • FIRSTNAME
  • MIDDLEINITIAL
  • SEX
  • DOB

When there are fields in the import following the DOB (date of birth), they are ignored.
