What is your legal sex?

App - CAS/Liaison Legal Sex/Gender

cas_legal_sex

This is also currently mapped to the system field for ‘sex’ in the Application source format until a new solution for providing gender information in SIS feed is found.

This is the only gender value that comes over in the In Progress CAS file, so unsubmitted applications for CASPA will only have this gender marker.

If the student selects “prefer to self describe” they are able to enter an answer in a free-text field.

Students only fill out this option if they elect to “self describe” in the drop-down menu of gender identity options.

cas_legal_sex

Although this field exists across all CAS instances, the available prompt values are different between professions. Note that this is an application scoped field; the core person-scoped sex field within Slate which feeds SIS was not directly mapped for the 2024-2025 cycle, but this data was put into a CAS Gender Marker field as a holding pen; will eventually be mapped to the new gender identity field in Slate. [still unclear how this will get to SIS]…

Prompt field, as well as free text option for those who select ‘prefer to self describe’. Like marker, was mapped to a newly created field; may not flow to SIS for some time.

To determine if you come from an economically disadvantaged background, you are asked to compare your parental family's size of household (number of exemptions listed on parent's Federal 1040 income tax forms) and adjusted gross income against the chart provided in the link below. The chart is based on 200 percent of Federal low-income poverty guidelines. You should use your parent's most recent tax forms regardless of age. Your parent's family income falls within the table's guidelines and you are considered to have met the criteria for economically disadvantaged. (Select Yes or No)

This is a stand alone question in CASPA but is imported to Slate as one of the HRSA indicator prompts. There is a very similar prompt that CASPA does include in the area where the other HRSA answers/Background Information prompts are, but since both questions are asked in the application, I made a new prompt.
