Ethnicity versus race

Both Race and Ethnicity information appear on Contact cards under Citizenship/Resident information.

Tip: We recommend schools use Races instead of (or in addition to) Ethnicity .

Schools can select multiple Races for individuals, which enables schools to more accurately track demographic information.

To quickly copy information from Ethnicity into Races in bulk, export Ethnicity information and then import it as Races.

After you update records in bulk, edit the appropriate user profiles to select additional Races.

Export ethnicity information

Use the Student list or User list with columns for

user ID,
first name,
last name,
and ethnicity.

Import race information

Imported values must exactly match existing race types. Set up race types before you run a Data import,

Use the General data import to add a single race value to individual profiles. Use it to remove all race values from an individual via the upward chevon or caret ^ symbol.

Use the Races data import from the User management category to import multiple races for individuals.

Add or edit an individual's race.

Select Core.
Use the People finder to access a user's Contact card .
Select to edit the Citizenship/Resident information.

Note: Reports which previously used Ethnicity have been converted to use Races . The Races field is also available on enrollment and school Forms for data entry purposes.
