Re: Coding Veterans

Leslie-

The attached has been proposed through the work group and several of the schools have reviewed it.  Unless we hear something different soon, I think it will be the direction we go.  If you do have feedback, please feel free to contact me directly.

 

Thanks,
John

Did we decide where we are all going to code the Veterans who benefit from the Choice Act?  John Thunstrom threw out some ideas in his March 25th email but I don’t see where it was decided.  Did I miss it?

Re: Data for Workforce Training

​I am with Aaniiih Nakoda College and we also received the letter.  I am very reluctant to submit social security numbers and disability status on students.  Do they need the information on all our students or just those student under the "Workforce Training" program?  The Department of Labor should be able to obtain this information directly from their clients.  This makes me nervous also.  I am glad this discussion is coming from the university system, I thought it was just us.

MACRAO Colleagues,

 

I’m assuming your institutions received the attached letter, and I’m wondering if anyone has concerns about the information being requested and how it’s being shared with the Dept. of Labor and Industry? My understanding from our institutional research office is that we have a secure file transfer process set up, as well as an agreement that the files will be destroyed once used. With these measures in place, I’m interpreting this as allowable under FERPA since we can consider the Dept. as being “under contract to perform a special task” of sorts. Would you agree?

 

More specifically, I’m also wondering how you would report on disability status (is it a Y or N, or do you have different types noted?) and whether or not a disability “flag” of sorts is something that’s stored in your SIS. Flagging students in this way is something that concerns us, but I also don’t like that the information is being stored in a separate database outside of our Colleague system.

 

Any thoughts or guidance you have is much appreciated… and happy almost summer!

 

Best,

Cassie

A pick me up at the end of the year

Okay, I know this is not the purpose of the listserv, so I apologize up front, but I'm guessing we could all use a moment of relief this time of year.  From the University of Wyoming that brought you "Your a mean one, registrar" I share with you today "She's Registrar".  I hope it brightens your day or at least gives you a small laugh!

Warehouse Coding Change

Good morning-

I recently received a request from UM to modify the warehouse extract code to gather the ADMIT_TERM and ADMIT_CODE fields in the ENROLLMENT_TABLE from SGBSTDN (General Student), rather than using the information from the SARADAP (Admissions Application) table.  This would give the most current admit term and code from the General Student record for students in the enrollment table while leaving the information in the ADMIT_INFO table as it currently sits (from SARADAP). 

 

I’m seeking input from the campuses on whether or not this change would have any negative consequences for your reporting.  Any comments can be emailed directly to me or left in the JIRA issue (SDW-30) and would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,
John
