2016-31: CEEB Codes Inclusion to CCCApply

Problem / Issue

CACCRAO Issue #8.  CEEB codes inclusion in Open CCC Apply.

Proposed Solution

Discussion with DT: I explained to Diane what CEEB codes are and why and how they work in CCCApply (monthly list feed; manual changes get over-written each month; process being developed for colleges to contact the College Board and CDS directly to make changes to school and college information. Also, URLs are available where a college and go and look up a CDS and CEEB code for any school that is manually entered in School Name text input fields. We need to write this up and post something on Support Site.

Proposed solution:

Support Services just produced a process whereby colleges can search for CEEB and CDS codes and request changes adn additions directly with the College Board or the CDS.

This will be posted on the CCCTechnology.info support site.

Notes

CEEB and School Codes

A CEEB code is a standardized ID number that is assigned to a high school, college, or university. CEEB codes are issued by the Educational Testing Service (ETS). These 4- to 6-digit codes are mostly used in college entrance exams such as the SAT and ACT. Many universities have opted to use CEEB codes on their applications.

To prevent errors, most applications do not allow manual entry of CEEB codes.

Using the School Code Search

1. To use the tool, click on the ""School Code Search"" or ""Find Your School"" links. 

2. The tool will open in a new window. Enter in the name of the school. 

3. Select the appropriate school name from the list of search results. If you cannot locate your school or you know your school has not been assigned a CEEB code, search for ""Not Listed"", ""Other"", or ""Unknown"" and go to Step 4.

4. Once selected, the code will be inserted into your application. "
