Purpose
This standard aims to achieve consistency around the data collected for Transfer Credit Type, and the format in which it is collected and stored.
This standard is derived by UBC and applies to all applications collecting academic level. Exceptions are listed in the Dispensation section.
Standard
The following are the accepted values for Transfer Credit Type:
| Accepted Value | Definition |
|---|---|
| Educational Institution Transfer Credit | Rules associated with educational institutions. |
| Education Test Transfer Credit a.k.a. Advanced Credit |
Rules associated with standardized examinations of Secondary-level curriculum that result in University-level credits e.g. IB, AP, etc. |
Compliance
The above standard must be complied at every stage of the data lifecycle with the exception of any dispensations (see Dispensation section).
- All applications must collect date as recommended in this standard.
- Enterprise Data Integration must adopt this standard.
Reference Data Compliance for Data Integration
The use of accepted reference data values in this standard for data integration among applications must comply with the enterprise integration pattern of leveraging the reference data common service API (Application Programming Interface) published in UBC MuleSoft Exchange.
Any application that intends to access real-time, case-level reference data should have the application owner or manager complete and submit a Request API Access form.
For any compliance questions or requests for a dispensation temporarily, please contact the Enterprise Data Governance Team.
Dispensation
Legacy systems are exempt from this data standard. As systems are replaced, adoption of this standard is required. Examples of legacy systems are:
