5/10/2012 - Guidelines for Having NCWISE IDs Corrected in CECAS
The NCWISE ID is now a locked field in CECAS. Users are no longer allowed to enter, update, or remove the NCWISE ID. If you find that the NCWISE ID is not correct in CECAS, follow the instructions below:
1. Make sure all near matches have been resolved in the UID system.
2. Contact your NCWISE Data Manager to locate the student in NCWISE. Determine and report the cause of the incorrect NCWISE ID:
- Does the student have a duplicate student record in NCWISE? This occurs when a
student has more than one record in NCWISE and each record has a different NCWISE ID#.
If the student record is duplicated in NCWISE, document the duplicated records' NCWISE IDs and contact the NCWISE helpdesk via email dpi.incidents@its.nc.gov or call (919) 807-4357, press 1. If logging a ticket, please note the ticket as 'Duplicate Student'. - Does the student have only one record in NCWISE but the NCWISE ID is not the same as
the NCWISE ID in CECAS?
If so, document the record's correct NC WISE ID and the incorrect NCWISE ID. Then contact the NCWISE helpdesk via email dpi.incidents@its.nc.gov or call (919) 807-4357, press 1. If logging a ticket, please note the ticket as 'UID Student Issue'. - Can the student be located in NCWISE?
If you can not locate a record for the student in NCWISE, document the student's NCWISE ID as it is in CECAS. Then contact the NCWISE helpdesk via email dpi.incidents@its.nc.gov or call (919) 807-4357, press 1. If logging a ticket, please note the ticket as 'UID Student Issue'. - Does the same NCWISE ID appear for two or more different students? This occurs when
more than one student has the same NC WISE ID in NCWISE.
If the NCWISE ID is assigned to more than one student in NCWISE, document the student records' NCWISE ID and contact the NCWISE helpdesk via email dpi.incidents@its.nc.gov or call (919) 807-4357, press 1. If logging a ticket, please note the ticket as 'Duplicate NCWISE ID'.
3. CECAS will correct the incorrect NCWISE ID after it receives the update from NCWISE.
If you have any questions regarding any CECAS issue, contact the Help Desk at (919) 807-4357, press 2 for CECAS, or email cecas.incidents@its.nc.gov.If you have any questions regarding UID or NCID, please email dpi.incidents@its.nc.gov or call (919) 807-4357, press 1.
