MET Number Project
MFNERC is here to help you catch up on your MET Number applications.
MET Number is a unique identifier assigned to each student upon registration with Manitoba Education for record-keeping purposes. This number remains the same from Kindergarten to Grade 12, and is different from any student number assigned by a local school division.
Clean Data
We aim to ensure data integrity and management for MFNERC member schools and MFNSS participating First Nations by updating student information system data, ensuring accurate and up-to-date data, and keeping up with students’ MET#.
Solutions for Admin
The MET# Project helps school administrators and staff manage accurate student data, reducing workload and enabling them to focus on core responsibilities for fostering student success.
Benefits for Students
The MET# Project aims to help schools overcome challenges such as difficulty in tracking progress, course selection, and graduation due to a lack of valid MET numbers. It aims to eliminate these barriers and support students in their educational journey.
Keeping up with student’s MET numbers
How it Works
MFNERC will work with you to assess and clean the data, using an automation process to fill in the required fields in the EIS collection app and send the data to the Manitoba Student Records office.
Once an authorizing MOU is provided, MFNERC will obtain the MET numbers and update them in the current SIS.
