The Degree tab page is a simple list of degrees (both majors and minors) earned by the educator. There is also a degree summary code which is used in school funding calculations and reporting.

minor description (name of the minor, from list of valid degree codes from AREA, ENDO, DEGREE code table)This is a list of valid degree summaries. This edit box is used by school finance to generate reports for distributing funds to the districts. Educators are categorized based on their degree and number of post-graduate hours. School Finance updates this edit box for credits in addition to a bachelor’s or master’s degree, but they may not enter the degree information or the code for the degree. SFIN needs to see the degree information to know if the degree summary is reasonable. Only certain degree summary values are permitted with the various degree types. A code table exists to enforce these restrictions.
Validation Rules
