If there are multiple schools/programs that use the same CDS code, the original school/program will use the full 7 digit CDS code. The additional schools/programs will replace the last digit with a letter (example 123456a). 

In the CDS Conversion field, you will enter the correct code (1234567). The CDS Conversion field is what is pulled in for CALPADS Reporting.
