Census tracks every person entry in Infinite Campus - parents/guardians, staff, students, emergency contacts, doctors, etc. Demographic data is used throughout Campus, utilizing historical and current details of each person. Some fields in the Census module are unique to each state. Other fields in the Census module do not require unique, state-specific data. However, many of these fields are required, and data entry is necessary.
