LAST UPDATED
06/2019 Project to reconstruct this data from SFS (originally sourced from Mainframe sources) and limit the extraction to only UW Madison.  The goal was to keep the data structure and content for UW Madison codes the same so as to not impact existing queries and reports.
DATA FORMATS
The codes following the field names in this document define the field. The different types are:
Alphanumeric Data
A – Alphanumeric field. This indicates the field may contain Letters and/or numbers. The number following is the field length.
Example: a field defined as A5 could contain ‘E10LN’.
Numeric Data
N – Numeric data. This indicates the field may contain only numbers. The number following is the field length. If two digits with a decimal point in between are present the first indicates the number of positions before the decimal point and the second the number of digits after the decimal point.
Example: a field defined as N4.2 would be in the format 9999.99 whereas N6 would be in the format 999999.
Date
D – Date field — this means the field is stored a date. The format is described in the text description. The way this type of field will display in the result section of a query will be dependent upon what default the query tool you are using is set to. Some query tools default to a date/time mode which would show the data 1998-9-03 8:00 or some have a format DD-MMM-(YY)YY. Most query tools allow you to change this to a format you want but you must be aware of what the default is.

PRIMARY_CIP A6 The primary CIP code.

About CIP Codes: The purpose of the Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) is to provide a taxonomic scheme that supports the accurate tracking, assessment and reporting of fields of study and program completion activity. CIP was originally developed by the U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). The CIP is the accepted federal government statistical standard on instructional program classifications and is used in a variety of educational information surveys and databases.

The CIP taxonomy is organized on three levels:
1) two-digit codes represent the most general groupings of related programs
2) four-digit codes represent the intermediate groupings of programs that have comparable content and objectives.
3) six-digit codes represent specific instruction programs

SECONDARY_CIP A6 The secondary CIP code.
TERTIARY_CIP A6 The tertiary CIP code.
EXTRACT_DATE_TIME A17 This is the system generated date of when the data was last refreshed.
