A locally/institutionally defined identifier that uniquely distinguishes a specific academic program at an institution, which may be beyond what is captured by CIP code and award level.

If needed by the submitting institution, this identifier should be able to differentiate programs that share the same CIP code and credential level but are treated as distinct programs by the institution. Examples include programs with the same CIP but are administratively housed within separate colleges within a university, programs with multiple track options, or Science/Arts/Transfer degree designations.
