This article provides guidance for entering Race/Ethnicity values for Demographics and Identities records. This article is specific to Minnesota.
See the core Race/Ethnicity article for information on necessary tool rights, available Ad hoc fields, and guidance on adding records.
For Minnesota, Race/Ethnicity options include both federal designations and state-specific subcategories.
Minnesota uses the Ethnic and Racial Demographic Designation Form to record Race and Ethnicity data.
The following table provides a reference to the Designation Form and indicates where that data should be recorded in Campus. The third column indicates how the Ed-Fi 3.1 Student Education Organization Association resource reports based on the data entered in Campus.
Before processing the student's Designation Form, make sure the appropriate federal race/ethnicity(s) is selected in the Is the individual from one or more of these races? section.
