# Campus Resources for Registrar Data, ISIS, Shibboleth

I am looking to develop an application and would like to have access to data such as class roster information, student info, etc. How can I obtain this data and who do I need to contact to get access to this data?

## Campus Authentication using <span class="caps">ISIS</span> and Shibboleth

**What kind of info can be retrieved using campus authentication?**

That is yet to be decided but it’s worth discussing your needs with the personnel in charge of <span class="caps">ISIS</span> and Shibboleth.

**What is <span class="caps">ISIS</span>?**

Integrated Security Information Services (<span class="caps">ISIS</span>) is UCLA’s de facto common web authentication service. It provides a common interface for <span class="caps">UCLA</span> web applications to authenticate users using Bruin Online ID/password, <span class="caps">UID</span>/<span class="caps">PIN</span>, <span class="caps">AIS</span> mainframe logon ID password, or <span class="caps">QDB</span> logon ID/password. Furthermore, <span class="caps">ISIS</span> enables single user sign-on to participating campus web applications.

For general information regarding <span class="caps">ISIS</span>, please contact Albert Wu.

**Why should I use <span class="caps">ISIS</span>?**

Don’t think of it as using <span class="caps">ISIS</span> but instead as using the <span class="caps">UCLA</span> Login System. This allows your users to login with their <span class="caps">UCLA</span> Login the way they do for My.<span class="caps">UCLA</span>, the Library and other applications, instead of having to have a special login just for your system.

**What is Shibboleth?**

Shibboleth is an Internet2 sponsored way for schools to federate their login systems for cross-campus courses. See [https://kb.ucla.edu/link/298](https://kb.ucla.edu/link/298) for links to more info.

**Should I start developing applications using <span class="caps">ISIS</span> or Shibboleth?**

<span class="caps">ISIS</span> is proprietary to <span class="caps">UCLA</span>. Shibboleth is an Internet2 standard. Therefore, you have more future potential programming to Shibboleth. And if you are using an Open Source app it may already work with Shibboleth, and that can save you adapting it to UCLA’s <span class="caps">ISIS</span>. Moodle and Plone, among others, have Shibboleth modules.

## Registrar Data – Accessing Student Data

I am looking to develop an application that would be able to access class roster information, student data, etc.

**Registrar’s Service Request**

Provides consulting on data selection, business approaches, and support of Student Records data via a wide array of delivery methods. You can contact, Martin Bjel or Valerie Romero for more details.

[https://saweb.uclanet.ucla.edu/](https://saweb.uclanet.ucla.edu/)

Use the Registrar’s Service Request (<span class="caps">RSR</span>) application to request any of the following services:

- Mass e-mail to students
- Student addresses for bulk mailing
- <span class="caps">SRS</span> reports
- Access to student data from any source
- Access to Registrar’s Office web application

**What is <span class="caps">SRS</span> number?**

<span class="caps">SRS</span> stands for Student Record Systems and every <span class="caps">UCLA</span> course has a 9 digit <span class="caps">SRS</span>\#. Combined with Term, this provides a unique key for every course offered.

To get the <span class="caps">SRS</span> number for a given course:
