11. Do NOT use the registration form as the source to enter a student’s name or SSN. If the SSN and / or GTID are on the Withdrawal Form for a transfer student, enter them into your SIS. Do not issue a new 800# to every student that walks in to register. If the SSN and GTID are not on the Withdrawal Form you currently use, consider adding these fields to your form if local policy permits. Ask if the student has been in a GA public school on the registration form. If a student gets a new 800#, then a new GTID, then he is a new student. Without a link, the ‘old student’ becomes an unknown dropout. Key Identification Sources – Best Practices 1.0 - GTID and Identity Issues
