I am curious as to what everyone's system may be for collecting the race and ethnicity information from students. </div>

We are close to developing an online student submissions portal for students to submit the LACES partial intake form digitally. However, my understanding is that student answers for the race/ethnicity data cannot be directly uploaded into LACES quite yet due
to system errors, and we must delete any columns to do with race/ethnicity from the downloaded .csv file prior to processing and instead enter this data in manually for each student.</div>

Has anyone come up with a different method for collecting this data? We're exploring options over here and I'd love to learn what others might be doing. </div>
