Managing New Zealand student NSNs and identity details

Synergetic connects to the ENROL database using a secure link, to retrieve or validate NSNs and student identity data.

ENROL is a central register of student enrolments developed by the New Zealand Ministry of Education for schools to use via the web.

How to:

Retrieve a student's NSN from the ENROL database and update Synergetic with the value. See Retrieving National Student Numbers.
Determine whether a new record needs to be entered into ENROL. See Retrieving National Student Numbers.
Add student records using the ENROL web program. See Adding student records using the ENROL web program.
Check a student's existing NSN and identity details are correct in Synergetic. See Checking National Student Numbers and identity details.
View the differences between Synergetic and ENROL of the student's identity details, and resolve the data solely in Synergetic. See Updating student identity details in Synergetic.
View the differences between Synergetic and ENROL of the student's identity details, and resolve the data in both Synergetic and ENROL. See Updating student identity details in both Synergetic and ENROL programs.
Preview and print the results of a check of student NSNs and identity data. See Printing ENROL Get/Check NSN reports.

Get/Check NSN components

The Get/Check NSN functions are provided by three components:

Get/Check NSN is part of Synergetic
WSS Wrapper is a standalone program that provides a secure connection between Get/Check NSN and the NZ MOE’s web service
Web service is provided by the NZ MOE to retrieve NSNs from the ENROL database.

The Get/Check NSN functions use the same configuration settings as eReturns, so if you already use eReturns there is minimal configuration. For information on setting up and configuring the components, see:

SMS data exchange set up and configuration in the Roll returns manual.
NZMOE eReturn window.
