Modifying CIP and HEGIS Codes

To set up CIP and HEGIS codes, use the CIP Code Table component (CIP_CODE_TABLE) and the HEGIS Code Table component (HEGIS_CODE_TABLE). Use the SSR_CIP_CODE_TABLE and SSR_HEGIS_CODE_TABLE component interfaces to load the data into the tables for these component interfaces.

CIP and HEGIS codes are delivered with the system. You can modify descriptions of the codes and add new codes through the CIP Code Table page and the HEGIS Code Table page. This section discusses how to modify CIP and HEGIS codes.

Definition
Alternative CIP Code (alternative classification of instructional programs code)

Some states derive their own coding schemes from the CIP code. If applicable, enter the alternative CIP code of the state.
Valid SEVIS CIP Code

Select Yes to indicate that the code is the valid SEVIS CIP code for the area of study.

Select No if either the code is not the valid SEVIS CIP code or you are unsure if it is the valid SEVIS CIP code.

When Valid SEVIS CIP Code is set to Yes for a code, the Validate SEVIS CIP Code process available from within the SEVIS Alerts process, can compare the CIP code in an event to the valid code and if the codes do not match, the process can generate and display an error message in the alerts.

When the Valid SEVIS CIP Code is set to No for a code, the validation process generates an error message that appears in the alerts.

See Understanding SEVIS Visa Processing

Access the HEGIS Code Table page (select (Set Up SACR, then select Foundation Tables, then select Reporting Codes, then select HEGIS Code Table, then select HEGIS Code Table).
