Used to identify the course section in which the student has enrolled. A unique identifier for a specific course section in a specific term is composed of the Subject_Area, the Course_Number, and the Section_Number. Note: Although a Section_Id may be used in more than one term, the activity may be different in different terms.

Positions 1 to 4 are the alphabetic code for the subject area of the academic discipline under which the course is offered.

Positions 5 to 7 indicate the course number assigned to the course at the inventory level.

Positions 8 to 10 indicate the section number for a specific course section in a specific term.

Generally, term specific sections with a midlle digit of 5 indicate that the course was taken through Study Abroad.

Penn_ID appears on SRS screen 103

The 8-digit identification number assigned to the student when their record was created in the PennCommunity database. No two persons have the same Penn_ID. Only persons affiliated with the University will be assigned a Penn_ID.

Penn_ID is not stored in SRS, but can be used on screen 103 to look up a student. It is populated in the Data Warehouse from a extract from PennCommunity.

Note that because the SSN is still the record key in SRS, it is possible for two records to accidentally get created in SRS with different SSNs, for the same person. When this happens, there will be two different records in the Data Warehouse with the same PennID. Please report all PennID duplicates to either Data Administration, or the Office of the University Registrar.
