Re: Disability Indicator

Kathy Meier is our Director of Disability Services at Great Falls College MSU, though Dena is our local Banner expert.

GOAMEDI is currently shared across all four MSU campuses. Are there any privacy implications with recording a student’s disability in a form that’s accessed by three other campuses that the student may or may not have a relationship with?

Good morning-

I am in the process of going over the code and crosswalk tables for the data warehouse in regards to the Disability field, and am finding that it isn’t being populated by the vast majority of schools.  We have need to populate this field correctly for reporting on several federal grants, so are looking to get the information cleaned up for the upcoming fall semester. 

 

I thought I would start with this group to ask who I might speak to on each campus to get input as to how things are recorded in Banner at each location.  The code currently looks at the information from form GOAMEDI to determine whether or not a student has a code entered that indicates a disability.  If schools are currently using this approach, I will just need to make sure that we are appropriately identifying the correct codes and crosswalk the values to the warehouse.  If not, I will likely need to get a group together to discuss how we might standardize the recording of this information so we are accurately reflecting the population.

 

Any assistance or direction you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,
John
