UFARS File Upload & EDIAM Security


1. Beginning on September 20, 2019, many of the school finance web applications are scheduled to be accessed under the Education Identity and Access Management (EDIAM) system.

 
This includes the UFARS File Upload Application that Region1 uses to transmit your UFARS data file to MDE.

The IOwA (Identified Official with Authority) at your district must authorize Region1 for the UFARS File Upload Application within the EDIAM Authorization System.

If you have questions regarding EDIAM or IOwA please direct them to MDE: https://education.mn.gov/MDE/dse/datasub/index.htm
