UCD Data Providers Tests

White List batch creation functionality tests (per Scott Amerson; modified by Lisa Wilson)

All of these tests require admin access (star).

Course creation information, including the list of courses to be added with their subject, term, CRNs, generated prodiver Ids and instructor Kerberos Ids will be shared with the admin QA tester prior to the test run. Detailed roster information will either be viewable from an outside source or will be provided prior to the test run.
