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 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
