Follow up: UCSD First Time Grad Student Term Code yields no results. Reviewed our PhD population, of which 99%+ are first time UCSD tgrad students.
As a follow up. Needed this information for a data pull just this morning. Had to use the Major/Minor report, and was thus unable to include census numbers.
Yes, please! The major/minor information is more comprehensive. Thanks!
Not sure! I will try to find the time to test and compare.
Agree. Section status is important for many types of analysis.
The related entry in IGC is Class Section Status.
Would also favor PID as it helps distinguish from employee ID. Would note that academics have both a PID and EID. Would further note that it might be helpful to distinguish between student PID and instructor PID.
Chris said, "If we make a mistake and pull the wrong record and process an incorrect update, there's very little in the way of an audit trail which would help us make the correction. It's measure twice, cut once type of situation."
Couldn't agree more. Have seen this to be especially true when attempting to validate and enter data in the payroll system as PID is not included in that system, only EID. Sometimes name is one of the only data elements upon which to compare to ensure you are working with the same (or with the correct) individual.
Hi Barry,
Yes, I believe I did.

Advisors in our unit request inclusion of the catalog year which designates the requirements applied to a student. Based on conversation with our advising team, it sounds like DARS 2.0 allows an advisor to specify (when an advisor is changing a student's catalog year) whether the catalog year change is to apply to major, minor, college, or all requirements. For this reason, it would be necessary to include both the catalog year and the type of requirements under that catalog year.
Biological Sciences would likely be able to provide a number of examples of students with a catalog year for major requirements that differs from their cohort term/application term code/admit term.
