If you are importing foster students, you must update the SIS file to include fields for Direct Certification (DC) and FAR Eligibility. Later on in the setup process, you will create translations for those fields.
WARNING! If you must open the file to obtain the file layout, DO NOT open a .csv file in Microsoft Excel. Any leading zero will be truncated from the data, creating duplicate records. If you must open the file in Excel, first open Excel and then import the file’s content as text data.
3. Open the SIS file.
4. Add the following columns:
•Direct Certification: Enter a value in each record to represent DC.
•FAR Eligibility: Enter a value in each record to represent Free Categorical.
5. Save the file.
