How much staff time does Cal-PASS data submission require?
A. Cal-PASS has been designed to have the least impact on participants. The Data Element Dictionary was created to use existing coding schemes and values wherever possible. The K-12 files conform to CSIS, the community college files are from the Chancellor’s Office MIS and the university files are based on the system data requirements. Cal-PASS staff are continually working with Student Information System Vendors to include utilities to facilitate the creation of the Cal-PASS datafiles. To date, the K-12 SIS vendors Powerschool, Eagle Aeries and SASI have such utilities.
