The UIC Services API provides school districts a streamlined, efficient, and timely way to search for student unique identification codes (UICs) from CEPI. The process uses the Ed-Fi Identities API allowing SIS tools (and its users) to automatically search, resolve, link, and request UICs. These searches (which can be done individually or in bulk) take seconds to perform and eliminates the need to access CEPI’s Michigan Student Data System (MSDS).
