Note: School Passport supports both versions of the Infinite Campus: API 1.1 (OAuth 2.0) and API 1.2. To activate Infinite Campus API 1.2, see this guide.

Caution:
Infinite Campus will no longer support OAuth 1.0 starting June 30, 2023. GG4L will support Infinite Campus API 1.1 with OAuth 2.0 starting June 26, 2023. Be sure to update the authentication for Infinite Campus in School Passport.

When you upgrade to API 1.2, all users will get new SIS IDs, which means they’ll be recreated in School Passport. Because of this, users will also get new GG4L IDs. Make sure to inform your Ed-Tech vendor and ask them to do a full data re-sync.

School Passport supports Secure Data Sync with a wide range of the district's student information systems (SIS). One of them is Infinite Campus (IC) SIS.  Infinite Campus helps schools and their stakeholders by Transforming K12 Education. More than 2,000 districts use IC’s flagship student information system to streamline educational processes, promote stakeholder collaboration, and personalize learning.

To configure data sync with Infinite Campus (IC) SIS, perform the following steps:

  1. Obtain API credentials
  2. Setup Infinite Campus app on School Passport
  3. Sync data with Infinite Campus
