Element451 Data Source Sync

Explanation

Majors are synced from Banner using the following Ethos endpoint: /api/academic-programs

For additional context, see the Data Source sections in the Functional Overview and/or Technical Overview.

Sync Behavior

Element451 imports majors based on the following criteria:

• The program is active, or
• The program has an end date that is:
  • A default “end of time” value, or
  • Within the past 10 years

During sync, Element451 creates multiple versions of each program based on how Ethos structures academic data.

These include:

• Program only
• Program + major (field of study)
• Program + major + concentration (if applicable)

Ethos does not indicate which combinations are valid based on Banner configuration (SOACURR). As a result, all combinations are initially synced, and partners must determine which are valid.

Program/Major Details

In Element451, program combinations are represented using a pipe ( | ) separator in the Code field.

Example program structures:

• CEAC-CERTG
  • Program only
• CEAC-CERTG | CEAC
  • Program + major (field of study)
