Race Ethnicity Category

Student user data includes a ‘Race Ethnicity Category’, derived by a student's race and ethnicity values, based on information from NCES Reporting Categories. It is not possible to edit this field, but it is updated, as applicable, when a student's race and ethnicity values are changed. The category label is displayed in ADAM for each user. Also, the code value is included in the User Export. The code value will also be used for aggregation on reports that show demographics in a future release. The prior ‘N/A’ value for Race was retired and is no longer a configurable or displayable option in ADAM.
