Language Codes

This is a required code that must be entered for a student during the enrollment process

and designates the primary language spoken by a student. This code is also used to identify

the guardian’s primary language. Language codes may be cross-walked to state codes for

state reporting purposes within this area. The student’s Language field may be viewed on

the Student’s Profile > General > Profile tab. The guardian Language field may be viewed on

the Family tab by selecting the Edit option next to the guardian record and can be found in

the Additional Information section.
