Quick Answers
How do I log in?
Once you have begun receiving a Daily Certification Scorecard, click the hyperlink in the email to view scorecard and detailed results. The link will open in a web browser. To access Certify without the daily email choose the Certify Login Link below.
Login using your Active Directory username and password. This is the same username and password that you would use to log into your computer, to email, or Infinite Campus.
If you have recently changed this password you will need to re-type the new password when logging in to Certify.
Make sure you are typing the password and not using a cached "saved" password from the browser.
Your Certify Username does not include the domain, do not enter @columbus.k12.oh.us when logging in to Certify.
How do I fix data violations?
Each rule in your scorecard looks at specific data and makes sure the data it is valid. If a rule appears on your scorecard, the Data Certification Table needs to be reviewed. From the scorecard, select the "Rule" name to open the data table. The Data Certification Results will outline the specific records to be reviewed. The review will take place on Infinite Campus.
Our prescription pages list all of the rules defined in Certify, and 'prescription' for how to fix them. Some may be simple fixes that can be described in a sentence or two, others will link to a page with step-by-step documentation and/or videos to assist you.
