How is the new OSU ID numbering scheme related to the new Student System?
With the implementation of the first phase of the Student Information System (SIS) in the spring of 2008, the SIS and Human Resources (HR) Systems will share a common database and a common OSU ID format (Referred to as Employee ID number in the HR System). This new numbering scheme will uniquely identify new individuals to the university and will allow the university to maintain current and new employee and student records in the same database, providing a more flexible system to meet our future needs. The new numbering scheme impacts HR, the Medical Center, the new SIS and the Operational Data Store (a database that contains a daily “snapshot” of key transactional information used for queries and reports). For more information on the OSU ID number scheme and its impacts, see oaa.osu.
