One new data field ('race_ethnic_full') has been added to the database to capture all the new race group and ethnicity values; however, we have purposely designed this addition to be seamlessly backwards compatible, which means the field is optional and colleges do not need to make any adjustments to their downloads unless they opt to add the new data field when they are ready.
...
UAT GOALS & OBJECTIVES
...
| Info |
|---|
| Colleges that want to collect the new data should add the new Race Ethnicity Full data field to their download files and run (replace) the new transfer-client.jar (v.6.3.0. |
Participating Colleges
User acceptance testing will be supported across the three main SIS systems. Support is also available for colleges with custom SIS systems.
Colleges are being solicited to volunteer for this effort.
UAT Success Criteria
For the new Race & Ethnicity changes, our goals for pre-release user testing are:
- Colleges can continue to download the legacy data fields and formats without taking any action or making any changes to their files for the following fields:
- hispanic
- race_group
- race_ethnic (CCCApply Standard)
- race_ethnicity (International)
- Colleges are able to add the new data field to their Format XML files, update the transfer-client.jar file (v.6.3.0), and download the new field with the expanded data:
- race_ethnic_full
- Colleges are able to get the legacy data fields and formats AND the new field/data
- Colleges can still comply with MIS data requirements successfully with the new Race & Ethnicity implementation in place.
