SIRP: Informational Forums
RIT has undertaken a project to replace Social Security Numbers as the primary identifier in major system databases. The project, the Student ID Replacement Project, or SIRP, will impact academic and administrative procedures and data throughout the University. The system conversion is targeted for May 27 - June 4, 2006. Join members of the SIRP Project Team at informational forums prior to the conversion to learn more about the project, replacements for ID cards and other important system news.
