SEDDAS – State Education Department Delegated Account System
The New York State Education Department (SED) has several web-based applications that schools use to submit data to the Department, to view submitted data, and to request New York State assessments. These applications can be accessed via the NYSED Application Business Portal. One of these applications, the State Education Department Delegated Account System (SEDDAS) is designed to protect secure data from unauthorized access. SEDDAS uses a process of allowing designated school district personnel to create, assign and manage secure user IDs and passwords for their own staff rather than going through SED to do so. SEDDAS is designed to be a self-supporting system based on the User Guide and Quick Guides provided below.
