Entity authorized users for the EEM are appointed by their administrators. These individuals are responsible for keeping their entity records up-to-date whenever information changes. As the official directory of educational entities in Michigan, the EEM links all educational data collections in the state of Michigan. Updates include changes in the name of a school, contact information (e.g., administrator, address, area code, e-mail), grade range adjustments, as well as requests for new code numbers and permanent closings of schools or other educational entities.

When EEM records are out-of-date, data submission is more difficult. With accurate records, the management of data and data submission operates more smoothly. In addition, the Center for Educational Performance and Information (CEPI) and the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) use the EEM e-mail addresses to communicate with education administrators statewide.

To identify the current entity authorized users for the online EEM for your district or educational entity, please send an e-mail message to CEPI customer support at cepi@michigan.gov or call 517-335-0505 and select option 3. Please provide your name, telephone number (including area code and extension), district code, and district name (if applicable), along with your message.

How to obtain entity authorized user access to the EEM

Anyone wishing to obtain update access to the EEM will first need to obtain a Single Sign-On (SSO) account. If you do not already possess an SSO account, you can create one by going to https://sso.state.mi.us/. Click on the "Register" button and follow the on-screen instructions.

A user support document for the registration process is also available at http://www.michigan.gov/documents/cepi/SSO_registration_251200_7.pdf.

Once you have an account, you will need to enter the SSO application and subscribe to the EEM. The subscription process differs slightly, depending on whether or not you are a current authorized user of the School Code Master.

You do not need to complete a new EEM Security Agreement.
