Changing Student IDs

When creating a new student record, the solution automatically assigns a Student ID. You may want to change this ID to one that is consistent with other departments in your institution. It is important to do this now before entering related student data.

  1. Navigate to Home > View/Edit Student records > Personal Bio.
  2. Unlock the file by clicking the Lock icon at the top right of the Header area, if not already unlocked.
  3. Click the Edit ID button located next to Student ID.

An Edit Student ID dialogue box will appear.

  1. Change the student ID in the New ID field and click Confirm.

A message box will appear asking if you are certain you want to change this student’s ID.

  1. Click Change.

The student ID will be changed.

Note: Changing student ID numbers after applications, contacts, tests, and other related student data have been created may result in that information no longer being related to the individual student. Care must be taken when changing student ID numbers.
