Year-Round Collections - RITS

Overview

RITS, or Record Integration Tracking System, assigns each student in the state of Colorado a unique student ID, known as a SASID (State Assigned Student ID), which stays with the student for the duration of their public school career.

There are three ways to obtain a State Assigned Student ID (SASID):

• Add Single Student: This method allows the institution to submit a single student's information and to obtain an unique ID for the submitted student. This function is not available to users with "View-Only" access to RITS.
• Add Multiple Students: This method allows the institution to submit a list of students via an on-line entry in order to assign each student a unique identifier. A list of IDs will be supplied back to the institution through a listing on the web site.
• Data Pipeline File Upload: This method allows the sending institution the option of sending a large batch of student information in order to assign each student a unique ID. The sending institution is able to receive the identifiers back via a similar Data Pipeline file.
