CDR CROSSLIST

DATA VIEW NAME
CDR_CROSSLIST
OVERVIEW
This data view is a companion for the 8-week frozen CDR_CURRICULAR data view. This data view provides combined section information extracted from ISIS at the same time as the rest of the CDR data. All combination types are included:
crosslisted (XL)
meetswith (MW)
section-level meetswith (SL)
crosslist-meetswith (XM)Combination members are included regardless of status or lack of enrollments. A combined section group has one primary section and one or more secondary sections. The primary section is the controlling section for the group. Combined sections meet together. In this data view, there will be a row for each member of the group, including the primary.
LOAD FREQUENCY
This view is updated on request by the Registrar’s Office. Fall and Spring terms would typically be added at the end of the eighth week of the term. Summer terms would typically be added the last week of August. Sometimes, preliminary versions may be loaded prior to the “official” run.
