Excerpt

Race and ethnicity can be updated in SPAIDEN’s Biographical tab.

There is no self-service option for students to update their race/ethnicity, so we must do it for them.
Students see their recorded race/ethnicity when they confirm their enrollment.
We do not require any documentation to make race/ethnicity changes.
When making a change to a student’s race, provide them with the full list of their options.

Ethnicity

We report on Ethnicity to IPEDS. Ethnicity provides two options:

Hispanic or Latino
Not Hispanic or Latino

Race

We also report on Race to IPEDS. For each race, there may be additional values based on country/regionregional affiliation.

Students may identify as many races as they indicate.

Races

[1] American Indian or Alaska Native
[2] Asian
[3] Black or African American
[6] Hispanic or Latino
[4] Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander
[5] White
