Setting up Edmentum with your existing Student Information System (SIS) requires understanding the platform's integration capabilities and available connection methods. This guide walks through the technical implementation process and demonstrates how Scout automates Edmentum integration for California independent study programs.

Edmentum SIS Integration Options

Direct Integration Methods

Edmentum provides SSO capabilities (ClassLink, Clever, Google, Microsoft, SAML) and supports automated rostering, plus custom API integrations for districts with specialized needs.

• Single Sign-On (SSO): Streamlined access via secure credential exchange
• Automated Rostering: Loading/updating rosters across district systems
• Custom API: Proprietary API for tailored integrations

Enhanced Clever Integration

Clever-based rostering enables bi-directional data exchange through API and Edmentum Student Data Exchange (ESDE), including multi-program mapping for a single school location.

Genius SIS Built-in Integration

For schools using Genius SIS, native integration provides automatic user management, real-time enrollment sync, integrated transcripts/reporting, and direct course request workflows.
