Help with SEDDAS Accounts

The SEDDAS Help Desk is available to assist CEOs with password resets and the basics of creating, entitling and managing their school administrator SEDDAS accounts. To do this the CEO will need to know what the business rules of the applications are, what entitlements should be granted, and what roles their school administrator needs for each application. If they are unsure, they can contact the NYSED program office that requested they report the data. For contact information of those NYSED Program Offices, please click the Business Portal Applications and Contact Information link found on the menus at the left. 

The SEDDAS Help Desk is not able to help with technical questions about applications and does not have information on the applications themselves, or how to report the data you need to submit.

For assistance with SEDDAS password resets and technical difficulties regarding the Business Portal SEDDAS accounts, email: seddas@nysed.gov Please provide the BEDS code of your district or school, the user name you are asking about, your name and User ID and a contact phone number you can be reached at.

Help With Applications

Questions about applications accessed through the Business Portal or how to report the data you need to submit can be directed to your RIC, your BOCES or your Data Warehouse depending on who the owner of the application is.  You can also contact the NYSED program office of the application that you need assistance with. For contact information of those NYSED Program Offices, please click the Business Portal Applications and Contact Information link found on the menus at the left. 

If you can log into the Business Portal and have the correct entitlements, and still cannot report or view the data you are trying to access, you will need to contact the NYSED program office that requested you submit data.
