The ISBE Student State ID Import tool allows districts to import State ID numbers from the ISBE System into Infinite Campus.

ISBE Import

Import Logic

Files are accepted that match the layout of the following extracts.

The following import logic is enforced:

Import logic identifies students by matching student number, student last name, student first name and student birth date. A single match on all four fields is required.
If there is no state ID entered in Campus, the state ID from the file is imported.
If a state ID already exists in Campus but does not match the state ID on the file, the ID is not imported and an error is recorded on the ISBE State ID Import Results Report as State ID identified for the student does not match existing record. State ID was not changed.
If no match is found for the local student number, last name, first name and birth date, the ID is not imported and an error is reported on the ISBE State ID Import Results Report as No match found for student number, last name, and birth date. Student ID was not imported.
If multiple matches occur for local student number, last name, first name and birth date, the state ID is not imported and an error is logged in the ISBE State ID Import Results Report.
If the gender is different between the import file and the data in Campus, a warning is logged on the ISBE State ID Import Results Report.

When matching on first and last name, the match is only done on letters and/or numbers. All other characters are ignored. If all letters and/or numbers match and all other criteria is met, the information is imported.

Import Process

ISBE Import Process

Done	Task
	District generates the Student Demographics or Early Childhood and Demographics Report in Campus.
	District uploads state version of those reports to the state.
	State evaluates data and inserts student IDs for those students who do not have one.
	State adds two columns to the original file (for code and description).
	State returns file to district.
	District uploads the state-returned file into Campus to import new state IDs and receive results.

Import a File

The ISBE Import tool imports state IDs from files and import that information into the ISBE system. This generates a file that populates the state IDs (field 1) and adds two columns at the end for Results code and message.

Only *.csv files can be imported.

Select the Student State ID Import from the Import Type dropdown list.
Click the Browse button to locate the correct file to upload. A window will appear, displaying the user's local files.
Select the file from its locally stored location and click the Open button. The file will display on the Import editor.
Select the Upload button. The import process will begin and a report will appear, displaying the import results and errors.
