ADVISER Person ID (Student Unique ID’s)
Public Schools, Nonpublic Systems, Special Purpose Schools, ESU Head Start Schools, Post-Secondary
REMINDER:
The ADVISER Person ID collection replaced the Student Unique Identifier collection in November 2019. ADVISER Person ID is now where all PK – 12 and Post-Secondary student ID numbers are updated every school year with current school information such as grade level, school building and school year. The ADVISER Person ID collection is located under the Student & Staff (NSSRS) tab in the NDE Portal. An activation code from the District Administrator is required.
Nonpublic Systems
– will use the ADVISER Person ID collection to obtain NDE student ID numbers for new students and update returning student data at the beginning of the school year. Maintaining students’ data in the ADVISER Person ID system is important for matching students eligible for free and reduced priced meal benefits in the Nutrition Services Direct Certification process and assisting district/system staff to identify students who leave or transfer between districts/systems.
Public School Districts, Special Purpose Schools, ESU Head Start Schools
– will use the ADVISER Person ID collection to obtain NDE student ID numbers for new students and update returning student data at the beginning of the school year. It is important that the data in the ADVISER Person ID collection is kept up to date and accurate as this collection populates the ADVISER Validation collection with the students’ first, middle and last name and date of birth. This data does not come from the districts’ Student Information System.
Instructions for the ADVISER Person ID collection can be found within the collection, above the users’ login name in the upper right of the screen or on the ADVISER Resources web page here.

Rule 10 Assurance Statement – Opens September 7
Public, Nonpublic, Special Purpose, Rule 18, and ESU’s
All accredited school systems (public and non-public) are required to complete a Rule 10 Assurance Statement annually. The Assurance Statement must be completed to reflect compliance or indicate areas of noncompliance as your school system starts the 2020-2021 school year.
The Assurance Statement for public school districts is web-based and will be available on the NDE Portal under the Data Collections tab beginning Monday, September 7, 2020. An activation code is required to add the collection to the NDE Portal account. Public Schools must submit their Assurance Statement through the NDE Portal by November 1. Paper copies will not be accepted.
Note: Nonpublic, Special Purpose, Rule 18, and ESUs must continue to submit paper copies of their Assurance Statements to the NDE by November 1.
Please note the following:
- In the online Assurance Statement, public school district administrators will be asked to check Yes or No for each Rule 10 item in the statement, indicating compliance or non-compliance.
- Superintendents will receive a memo which will include links to the NDE website, where Rule 10 and supporting documents can be found.
For the 2020-21 school year,
- A Download PDF button is available again this school year at the bottom of the Assurance Statement for the purpose of downloading and saving a copy of your responses after submission to the NDE.
- Currently, when the NO response is checked, a text box opens to explain the NO response. A YES text box, located at the end of the Assurance Statement, is available for the purpose of explaining, defining, or expanding upon any YES response.
