SIS vendors will need to select the appropriate course code (not the SCED codes) to submit Roster data to WISEdata Portal. Course codes may be obtained from the WISEdata API via a GET request on the /course endpoint, or via the DPI-populated course list.

Roster data is NOT expected from Choice schools.

#	Property Name	Data Type	Business Definition	Data Element Page
1.0	courseCode*	string	A unique alphanumeric code assigned to a course. Also known as ‘Roster Code’	https://dpi.wi.gov/wise/data-elements/coursereference
2.0	academicSubjectDescriptor	string	The intended major subject area of the course. Also known as ‘Subject Area’
3.0	courseDescription	string	A description of the content standards and goals covered in the course. Reference may be made to state or national content standards. NOTE: The courseDescription also help derive whether a code is deprecated or not by using the “DO NOT USE.”
4.0	courseTitle	string	The descriptive name given to a course of study offered in a school or other institution or organization. In departmentalized classes at the elementary, secondary, and postsecondary levels (and for staff development activities), this refers to the name by which a course is identified (e.g., American History, English III). For elementary and other non-departmentalized classes, it refers to any portion of the instruction for which a grade or report is assigned (e.g., reading, composition, spelling, and language arts).
5.0	numberOfParts	integer	The number of parts identified for a course. This property is NOT used, 1 is defaulted for all courses.
6.0	identificationCodes	array	An unordered collection of courseIdentificationCodes. The code that identifies the organization of subject matter and related learning experiences provided for the instruction of students.
7.0	courseIdentificationSystemDescriptor	string	A system that is used to identify the organization of subject matter and related learning experiences provided for the instruction of students. This property helps identify the SCED Code, the Course Status (e.g. deprecated, new), CTE Course, Career Pathway Type, and the course Category (e.g. World Language, Arts) Example values are: ‘SCED 9.0’, ‘D' for Deprecated, 'CTE’ for CTE Course.
8.0	identificationCode	string	A unique number or alphanumeric code assigned to a course by a school, school system, state, or other agency or entity. For multi-part course codes, concatenate the parts separated by a "/". For example, consider the following SCED code- subject = 20 Math course = 272 Geometry level = G General credits = 1.00 course sequence 1 of 1- would be entered as 20/272/G/1.00/1 of 1. Example values are: Visual Arts, Spanish - Bilingual, 03007X, etc.
9.0	levelCharacteristics	array	An unordered collection of courseLevelCharacteristics. The type of specific program or designation with which the course is associated (e.g., AP, IB, Dual Credit, CTE).
10.0	courseLevelCharacteristicDescriptor	string	The type of specific program or designation with which the course is associated (e.g., AP, IB, Dual Credit, CTE). This property helps get the Rigor Level, the Course Program, and the CTE Course

What to Submit/retrieve

1.0

Retrieving the 2022-23 course data (SCED 9.0) from the WISEdata API

SIS vendors should be able to do a GET on /courses and ingest the course details into their system

SIS vendors should keep their course catalog current with the SCED relevant to the appropriate school year
- 2020-21 SY: SCED 7.0
- 2021-22 SY: SCED 8.0
- 2022-23 SY: SCED 9.0
The courseDescription helps vendors derive whether a course code is deprecated or not by using the “DO NOT USE.”
This courseIdentificationSystemDescriptor helps vendors identify the course status (e,g. deprecated, new, CTE, etc.).
- Courses with courseIdentificationSystemDescriptor as 'New' should be added to the 22-23 SY courses.
- Courses with courseIdentificationSystemDescriptor as 'D' should be removed from the 22-23 SY courses.
- Courses with courseIdentificationSystemDescriptor as ‘WLL’ and ‘AC’ help vendors identify the course category.
- New courses with courseIdentificationSystemDescriptor as 'CTE' should be labeled appropriately in the SIS.
New courses:
- Course Title/SCED Code: Quantitative Reasoning/02158; Mechatronics/13104, 13104X, 13104H, 13104G, 13104E, 13104B; Quantitative Reasoning/02158X, 0215H, 0215G, 02158E, 02158B
Archived courses:
- Course Title/SCED Code: IB Mathematical Studies/02131, IB Mathematics/02132,
  IB Further Mathematics/02134, and IB Approaches to Learning/22111.
The 2022-23 course list is also available as a CSV file: https://dpi.wi.gov/sites/default/files/ed-fi/courses_2022_23.csv
