About Common Application Set up

Campus Café provides Common Application data upload in the form of an import utility. The Common Application is used by over 400 member institutions, both public and private, large and small, and support for this universally accepted admissions process can streamline the application process.

The Campus Cafe import process imports only the standard data associated with the application; it does not import any documents or attachments.

Applications from other sources can potentially be uploaded using this utility as long as the data is in the Common Application upload format.

Create Admissions Portal

An admissions portal in Campus Cafe must be configured to receive the incoming Common Application data. Campus Cafe recommends the name of this form not contain spaces.

Refer to the admissions portal documentation for information on setting up a form.

Once set up, enter the name of the form in Custom Control (Admin > Custom Control Maintenance) COMMONAPP, Sequence 1, Parameter 2.

Create STPARM Mappings

Some values in the Common Application are delivered while others must be mapped.

Here is a table of the STPARM codes and the corresponding columns in the Common Application file that can be mapped. Please note that if a column is not mapped in the STPARM table, it will not be uploaded to the student’s record. It is the responsibility of the customer to create all relevant field mappings.

Please note all values are “,” separated with the exception that we us [] to separate values that contain the “,” character.

TABLE.FIELDNAME	STPARM CODE	STPARM VALUE	COMMON APP COLUMN	COMMON APP VALUE (or example value)
STBIOS.TRANSFER_CODE	SBTRCD	T, F	Student Type	Transfer , First-Year
STBIOS.ADMISSIONS_ENT_SEM	WBIQSM	201310 (example of Fall 2012)	Two possible columns: “preferred start term” (if first time freshman) “TR Preferred start term” (only for transfer students)	Fall 2012
STBIOS.ADMISSIONS_RES_CODE	SBRSCD	R, C, blank	Two possible columns: “Preferred residence” (if first time freshman) “TRPreferred residence” (only for transfer students)	Commuter, Resident, Blank (defaults to C)
STBIOS.SEX	SBSTSX	M,F,U	Sex	M,F
STBIOS.US_CITIZENSHIP	SBUSCD	Customizable	Citizenship Status	“U.S. Citizen or U.S. National”
ADMAST.ACTION_TYPE	ACACTY	Customizable	Two possible columns: “Admission Plan” and “TRAdmission Plan”	Examples: Regular Decision, Rolling Admission, Early Action, Early Action 2
STBIOS.FIN_AID_CODE	SBFACD	Y,N	financial aid, TR Financial aid	Examples: Yes, No OR Y,N
STBIOS.HOME_COUNTRY	XXXXCN	See STPARM table	Perm Country Current Country Parent 1 and 2 Country	Common app country codes listed in Appendix A

Common App Columns requiring Triggers

The customer must configure the below triggers.

Trigger Name	WORKFLOW Name	Use	Common App Column (depends on transfer or non-transfer student. Multiple Columns in upload file)	ADFMRQ.COMMON_APP_CODE
TRANHS01-08	TRANHS01-08	Track previous high schools. Adds TRK_ACTIVITY_TRACKING corresponding TRANHSXX record and updates STBIOS.SCHOOL_CODE ( updates STBIOS only from first previous high school)	Multiple Columns “School lookup – CeebCode” “TR School lookup – CeebCode”	Not needed
TRANCOL01-03	TRANCOL01-03	Track previous Colleges. Adds TRK_ACTIVITY_TRACKING corresponding TRANCOLXX record and updates STBIOS.PREV_COLLEGE_ATTED (only first previous college will update STBIOS)	Multiple Columns “TR College 1 lookup – CeebCode” “TR College 2 lookup – CeebCode” “TR College 3 lookup – CeebCode”	Not needed

Other Codes

The Common Application allows you to select multiple activity codes. The OTH activity code is a special case where you can select the same code multiple times if your activity is not listed. Therefore, the activity1 column may contain OTH as well as activity 2 and 3 and so forth... Adjacent columns to each activity code column allow the prospect to add text descriptions to include explanations of their activity.

Currently our admissions portal only allows you to select each trigger once. This makes sense as if you selected "I am interested in baseball" 3 times it would only express your interest once.

However, in the common app upload this is a problem since we also need to capture comments for each time you select it. This is especially an issue since there is an activity called "Other" coded as OTH. An applicant could conceivably select "other" up to 12 times with 12 different comments, and we would need to capture that information each time.

The solution is to create 12 records in table ADFMRQ:
Record 1 would have COMMON_APP_CODE of OTH and TRIGGER_NAME most likely of OTHER.
Record 2 would have COMMON_APP_CODE of OTH2 and TRIGGER_NAME most likely of OTHER2.
Record 3 would have COMMON_APP_CODE of OTH3 and TRIGGER_NAME most likely of OTHER3.

Etc…

The triggers can be named whatever you want, as long as they are all different. As stated above, if the same trigger is selected multiple times then only one of them is captured.

Also, 12 Workflows need to be created, one for each REQUEST_TRIGGER.

Campus Café assumes that each activity could only be selected once, and that the OTH is a special case.
