The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) collects and analyzes data related to education. Codes are used in the collecting and processing of data that facilitates the exchange of information to ensure uniform values. In Campus, these codes are assigned to courses on the Course tab, the Course Masters tool and used in the Course Catalog. These fields are also available in the Ad hoc Reporting Filter Designer when generating reports using the Course/Section Data Type.
NCES and SCED options are not editable in the Attribute Dictionary as this is a federal requirement. These codes are marked to copy forward by default with newly created calendars. For fields not described below, please see the NCES Data article.
