Handling multiple student IDs across programs — looking for low-customisation approaches
Hi all — hoping to get some input from those who've navigated this before.
We have a requirement to store multiple student IDs for individuals enrolled across different academic programs. The driver is integration with a legacy system that will remain in operation — each program has its own ID space in the legacy system, and we need to be able to cross-reference these from within Campus Solutions.
A few questions for the group:
- Has anyone handled a similar scenario without resorting to customisation? What approach did you take?
- Are the standard National ID or External System ID fields sufficient for this, or do they fall short when you need multiple IDs per student per program?
