Invited students are able to go to a secure Web site, make a login and password of their choosing, enter the invitation code which you specify in your invitation letter or email, and complete the Consent Form on-line. The data for students who choose this option will be immediately placed in the database at the University of Washington. To ensure validity and confidentiality, institutions will be given a secure logon. There will be no mailing of diskettes, nor will there be a need to install a specialized Name Exchange program. You must do the RDE from a computer that is connected to the Internet.
Institutions participating in RDE use the same consent form as non-participating institutions.
Students complete the forms in the same manner and they are collected at a central site at your institution for data entry. A reply message containing full instructions will be sent together with logon information. Any comments about the Name Exchange Web server and the Name Exchange process in general are especially welcomed.
