Aligning Your New Categories to Your Majors

...

  1. Ensure your spreadsheet contains the new column format shown in the image above.
  2. Each row listed represents a major or program record in your Majors table.
  3. Review each major listed and determine which category it should display under when selected by a student in the CCCApply application.
    1. A major can be aligned to more than one category; however, every major must be aligned to at least one category.  
  4. Align one or more categories to each major in the “Category” column on your spreadsheet.
  5. Repeat this process for all majors listed on your spreadsheet.


Note

IMPORTANT: When aligning multiple categories to a single major,

...

in the "category" column in your configuration file, separate each correctly spelled and punctuated category names by a comma

...

WITH NO SPACES IN BETWEEN. For example, if your categories are:

    1. Mathematics
    2. Science
    3. Art

...

    1. Communication & Design

These four categories should be listed like this in the category column:  Mathematics,Science,Art

...

,Communication & Design    (no spaces between each category name).


The screen shot below shows an example of a typical Majors Export file.  Remember to leave the "eduGoals" column empty and the "created" column empty when you import your configured majors file.
