Have you dreamed of the day when you don't need to create credentials for every applicant to your institution? Would you like a better way to accurately and automatically match the flood of scores, grades, recommendations, and financial aid packages to the correct student?
Those are the goals of the CommIT project, and the topic for the August 14 IAM Online. CommIT strives to provide a scalable, secure approach to matching electronic records for all college applicants and institutions and the creation of a unique electronic credential to:
- Resolve matching problems at the university level,
- Simplify the entire application process for students, parents, colleges and universities, and their external service providers
- Do away with the last remaining vestiges of dependency on the social security number
Join us for an overview of the project, a demonstration of the actual pilot account creation process, and an update on the current status, next steps, and how to get involved.
Speaker: Charlie Leonhardt, Georgetown University
