Augmentation

This is a two-character field.  The first character (1 through 4) shows the specific reason why the student is economically disadvantaged.  The second character explains whether that determination was made based on student self-declaration (S) or by looking to an auditable source (A).  (Students who are not economically disadvantaged receive the NN code.)  At the moment, we are only filling the SV03 field with self-declaration information provided through the Supplemental Questions in CCC Apply and the VTEA Survey in Online Registration.  We should be checking for auditable sources as well.  There are four different Banner fields we could look to -- the CalWorks field (SV03 code would then be 1A), and the Foster Youth, EOPS, and EOPS Care fields (SV03 code would then be 4A).  It is to our advantage to identify as many economically disadvantaged students as possible since VTEA funding is directly related to that number.
