xDUID

Lifetime Unique IDs for Every Student

In building a statewide data infrastructure, the system should ensure that student records can be easily transferred, student privacy is protected, data definitions and requirements are clear to who is concerned, and the data system is organized in ways that facilitate data use and user-friendly reporting. The xDUID Unique ID Generator meets this need and delivers a highly sophisticated system to manage student identification data, conduct accurate probabilistic matching, and manage duplicate student records.
