DEED Portal

The DEED Portal is a newly launched application whose design will, in time, allow district staff and DEED stakeholders a single point of entry into DEED systems. Through the Portal you'll be able to submit and access data, transfer files to/from department staff, and access DEED's various applications.

Currently, the DEED Portal supports:

• • Single Sign-On using your School District Credentials
• • Data Collection for the Suspensions and Expulsions collection

Getting Into DEED Portal

Accessing applications through the Portal is a two-step process. First, access to the Portal itself. Second, assignment to appropriate resources for your district. The following steps you'll do once to get your account active and in the system:

1. Go to https://portal.education.alaska.gov
2. Click either Microsoft or Google, depending on your district's platform:
   
3. After accepting the single sign-on security prompt, you'll be taken into the Portal and shown a message indicating you have yet to be assigned any resources:
   
4. When you see that message, click Sign Out in the upper-right.
5. Now, send an email to eed.tech@alaska.gov from the same email you used to login to the Portal. In the subject line put “DEED Portal Access” and in the body note your school district and which data collection you'll be submitting (eg: Suspensions & Expulsions).
6. After your access has been verified, you'll get a reply to your email saying your account has been activated.
7. Now log back into https://portal.education.alaska.gov
8. You should see the Data Collection card. On it, click the View link:
   
9. Now you'll be taken to the Data Collection section of the Portal, and you'll see an "Account Pending Assignment" message.
10. Sign Out again, and reply to the email thread you have with eed.tech@alaska.gov to let them know you've made it into Data Collection and need your district/collection assignment.
11. You'll get a reply once you've been assigned.
12. Sign back in to https://portal.education.alaska.gov, click the Data Collection card, and you will now see the options to upload data for your assigned district(s) and collection(s).

Submitting and Validating Data

1. To submit data to DEED, prepare your CSV according to the data collection handbook and header template. You'll find links to these from within the Data Collection site.
2. When your CSV file is ready, drag-and drop or click to upload.
   
3. After upload, your submission will be validated and any errors or warnings presented. You can click the view button to see details on the error or download a version of your CSV that highlights the rows with errors.
   
4. Resolve those issues in your SIS or otherwise, and repeat your upload.
5. Once your submission is error-free, you'll see a message indicating you're ready to certify. Click it to proceed and your submission will be finalized. Note that you can certify with warnings but not errors.
   
6. Along the way, if you have any questions about the collection itself, contact the appropriate DEED team. If you have technical issues, contact eed.tech@alaska.gov.
