Student Demographics

  • Demographics can be kept up-to-date in VCAT and used to inform on student performance when running reports.


Automatic Updates

  • If an SU is using our VCAT Import - Assignments feature and their Student Information System houses the students demograhics, demographics can be added to the AutoSend file(s) to be automatically updated when the importer is run. Make sure to let us know when demographics are added so we can adjust the agent to include them in the import process.
  • When the students demographics are maintained in the Student Information System and part of the AutoSend file(s), running the importer is all that is needed to update them in VCAT.


Manual Updates (UNDER CONSTRUCTION)

  • When student demographics are not maintained in the Student Information System, they can be manually updated in VCAT.
  • Under the Data tab, click on Demographics and Groups.
