[Wactclc-alma] Work-study students as staff - User Record

[Traci Taylor]

Hi All,

We have found something new in our User Records. I know we set up our nightly loads of student and employee external nightly loads, so that students would be run first and employees second, in order to make sure regular staff wouldn't be considered students. Do you all recall this? Well, one of our staff noticed that our work-study students are considered staff. I recall talking to our someone in our IT department and this is because the student receives a paycheck from BTC, therefore they are staff. Their user record is overwritten and given a User group: Staff, owner is SIS-Employees. When this occurs, the student's email address is no longer displayed in their contact information. We have several reserve items that go directly to lost status and a $10 fine is added to the user's account. We have no way of identifying if the staff is a work-study student. We don't add $10 fines to staff accounts, which includes faculty, admin, and classified staff. Does anyone have any workarounds, thoughts, and/or ideas?

Here is a screenshot of a work-study's user account:
