- DATA VIEW NAME

- OVERVIEW
- This view contains Student Group information, for those students who have an active student group on file, for the two prior terms, the current term and up to two future terms. It is possible for a student to be part of more than one group and therefore have multiple records. The only student groups eliminated from this view are priority registration groups (AMCB, AFR, ASO, AJR, and ASR).
- LOAD FREQUENCY

- SPECIAL
CONSIDERATIONS - To join this information with other data views use the ID field. Many students will not have a record on this data view. It is therefore very important to ensure you are creating an appropriate join for your needs. You will need to decide if you need to create a simple join or an outer join. A simple join (or equal join) will only give you rows that have a match on both tables being joined.
An outer join would give you all the rows returned by the simple join as well as those rows from one table that do not match any row from the other table. For example, if you select all applicants from the UW.ADMISSIONS_UGRAD data view and their student groups from the UW.STDNT_GROUP_MULTITERM data view, there may be applicants who do not have a student group on file. An outer join would return these applicants along with all the others.
