Data Standard: Facility ID Data Issue Documentation

Issue Summary

Facility ID is a data field associated with a class section to indicate the most specific level of detail available (e.g., a building name on a UMS campus, or a high school or other non-university entity). This proposal for Facility ID consistency is one of many standardizations proposed in support of cross-campus enrollment and transparency for initiatives such as the UMS Unified Catalog, as well as increasing ease and accuracy of reporting. This workgroup improved our Facility ID data in the following ways:

• Aligned existing Facility ID descriptions across the UMS
• Established standard codes, descriptions, and definitions for non-geographic facilities (e.g., Online classes).
