CommIT:­ Simplifying IdM for Admissions

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

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

Host: Rodney Petersen, Senior Government Relations Officer and Managing

Director, Washington Office, EDUCAUSE
