SA UC1 Process

Back to main SA UC1 page

The pilot will implement the reference process of the User-supported Intermediation Pattern as designed in the Project Start Architecture.

Here, the main steps of the process are briefly summarised:

• A student accesses an eProcedure portal of a Data Consumer (DC) to apply for higher education studies.
• The student is asked to authenticate at the DC using a legally recognized electronic identity (eIDAS identity).
• After successful authentication, the student is presented with a list of study programmes. The student selects the desired programme.
• The student is asked to provide higher education diploma (evidence), which is mandatory for the application.
• The student explicitly requests that the DE4A Once-only Principle Technical System is used to retrieve the diploma from a Data Provider (DP) in his/her home country.
• DC sends through the DE4A Once-only Principle Technical Systema request to the DP that has the student's diploma and directs the student to DP's Evidence portal.
• The student authenticates at the DP.
• The DP matches the student's identity with his/her record, retrieves the students's diploma from a registry, transforms it into a canonical format according to the SA UC1 data model, and shows it to the student.
• The student previews the diploma and gives consent for sending it to the DC.
• The DP transmits the diploma to the DC through the Once-only Principle Technical System and redirects the students back to the DC.
• The DC transforms the diploma from canonical format to local format and pre-fills an application form with the diploma attributes.
• The student enters missing information that cannot be obtained from the DP, e.g. email address, contact phone number, address for notice, in the form and submits the application.
• DC validates the application and acknowledges receipt.
