MIDAS Contract Transition This Summer (2026)
by Geoffrey Warren 15 May '26

15 May '26

This information was just released for us to distribute. I hope this transition is smooth and will offer any support I can as it unfolds. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Utah State Board of Education (USBE) has selected a new platform to support the Professional Learning recording and registration system, Recommended Instructional Materials (RIMS), and Microcredentials (formerly MIDAS). This change will happen by July 1, 2026. While the intent is to transfer all historic data and information from the current system into the new system, educators may wish to download their current transcript to ensure no data is lost. Do educators need to download their transcripts? All historic data will be migrated to the new system. We are not requiring educators to download their transcripts. Educators may download their transcripts if they are concerned about the migration. When will USBE staff be trained? Basic initial training for key internal users will be available prior to July 1. Additional training for internal users will be ongoing in the first 90 days and throughout the year. When will educators and LEA users be trained? This is to be determined between USBE and the new vendor. The new contract requires a platform help center and training materials that the vendor will develop and assist in delivering. This will be done in ongoing ways over the upcoming year. We anticipate at least some training to be available prior to July 1. When will MIDAS go offline? The current MIDAS contract ends June 30, 2026. There will be an “inactive” timeline for new information being uploaded into MIDAS. This is likely to happen in the month of June. More information will be forthcoming as the new vendor prepares for the migration. What if a course ends and I need to award credit during the migration? Credit will need to be approved before the inactive date(s) or after the new system is live. Those dates will be communicated as soon as they are available. What if I have a course currently open in the MIDAS system? The course will be available for educators to register for until the inactive date(s). Once the new system is up, educators will be able to continue to register for the course in the new system. What if I am a current approver in the MIDAS system? You will continue to approve items in MIDAS until the inactive date(s). Once the new system is active, you will be able to approve items in the new system. I have more questions… This FAQ will be updated on a rolling basis. You can review updated information on the USBE website at https://www.schools.utah.gov/curr/midas.
