R1StudentID

R1StudentID is a unique identifier assigned to students within a university or school information ecosystem. It functions as a persistent key used by multiple systems to track a learner’s records, enrollment, and access to services. The identifier is designed to remain constant even if the student changes name, email, or major, enabling reliable cross-system linkage of records from admissions to graduation.

Formats and usage vary by institution. Some systems prefix the numeric sequence with 'R1' or similar codes to indicate the source or program. Typical schemes include alphanumeric strings such as R1-2024-00123 or R1A1-000456, but many universities use internally generated numeric IDs. R1StudentID is usually stored in student information systems, learning management systems, and library catalogs, and is used for authentication or record matching.

Privacy and governance: Access to R1StudentID is restricted to authorized personnel and systems. Institutions implement access controls, encryption, and audit logging, in line with applicable laws (e.g., FERPA or GDPR). Procedures exist for correcting errors, merging records, and retiring identifiers when a student withdraws, while attempting to preserve historical data integrity.
