Texas SPEEDE Users - Our UG does not have an official policy, but I
thought this discussion might be of interest. dave<br>

<br>
Hi XXXX. My personal view is that not sending the SSN increases the
difficulty of getting an accurate match with the right file at the
receiving school. This could cause extreme difficulty in cases where
names have changed. SPEEDE transcripts are currently going just to
other schools, and these are good about protecting private student
info. Students also have to authorize release of their transcripts.<br>
<br>
Governing boards and attorneys sometimes dictate things and make them
beyond our control. I
would still favor an option for the student to "opt in" to including
the SSN.<br>
<br>
If you really can't send any but last 4 digits of the SSN, I suppose
you could use REF01="SY" as if you were sending an SSN, but send
"XXXXX1234" so the recipient might be able to figure out manually what
you are doing, even though the automated matching algorithms would fail.<br>
<br>
If you are sending just your institutional ID, it will be of little or
no use to the recipient, but you would use REF01=LR.<br>
<br>
These are good questions. Would you mind if I posted this to the
TX-SPEED listserv? I could remove your name and institution if you'd
prefer.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps. dave<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Good afternoon. I have a quick question. My
understanding is
that the recommendation for EDI transcripts is to still include the
full SSN
for the student. Is this correct? We have a request within our
institution to
move to using either our Banner ID or last 4 digits of the SSN.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Obviously, our institution ID creates issues for
receiving
institutions. Regarding using only the last 4, my hunch is that is that
since
transmissions require PGP encryption measures, using the last 4 is not
recommended. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Am I still safe to go ahead and send SSNs on
transcripts and
ease concerns of security breaches? Is there any recommendations you
have
(sorry if this has already been posted before)?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks in advance for the help and taking the
time to reply,<o:p></o:p></p>
