  4. Enrollment Reporting

  5. 2013 Enhancements 5

  6. Improving Compliance NSLDS made Enrollment Reporting enhancements in 2013 to help improve oversight and compliance with reporting requirements. • New means and methods of reporting • Tools to improve timeliness and accuracy of student attendance reporting • Reports to monitor enrollment reporting on NSLDS 6

  7. What You Do Matters Enrollment Reporting is about: • Timely reporting of enrollment status changes • Accurately reporting the location where the student attends • Ensuring students are: • Notified early about entering repayment • Timely receipt of in-school deferments • Serviced appropriately 7

  8. 2013 Enhancements Reminders Use the tools: • Enrollment Reporting Profile Page to set administration for school locations • School Location Reporting Functionality • Enrollment Reporting Submittal Process 8

  9. Enrollment Administration • Enrollment Administration allows schools with multiple locations to manage Enrollment Reporting from one location • Under the Enrollment Reporting Profile of the Enroll Tab • Option for a single location of a 6-digit school OPEID to act as the Enrollment Administrator for other locations • Essential for schools using a 3rd Party Servicer not set up for school location reporting 9

  10. Profile for Setting Administrator 10

  11. School Location ReportingReport Students Where They Attend • It is important that schools add financial aid recipients to their rosters if the students are not already on the roster • Students should be reported at two locations of the same 6-digit OPEID ONLY IF the student is actually attending both locations • If the student is not enrolled at both locations, report the correct location for the student • If a student appears on a roster of an incorrect location, use the “Move To” functionality to report the correct location for the student

  12. “Move To” Location Functionality • The school location is the last 2-digits of the 8-digit OPEID • Schools that share the same 6-digit OPEID and Administrator can “move” a student to the roster of the location where the student attends • Helpful for students misreported at a location • Helpful for transfers between locations 12

  13. “Move To” Location Functionality • In a batch file • Field is “Move to School Branch Code” • On NSLDSFAP Web site • Field on Enrollment Maintenance is “Loc” (Location) 2014 enhancements will change the appearance of this field 13

  14. Enrollment Push to Roster • A school can use the “Enrollment Push to Roster” feature when: • A student belongs on a roster for which you cannot report • You have no administrative rights for that location • The student transferred to a school for which you do not report 14

  15. Enrollment Push to Roster Enter the 8-digit OPEID of the new school and click submit for the student to be added to the next roster Enter 8-digit OPEID 15

  16. Enrollment Spreadsheet Submittal • NSLDS has an enrollment spreadsheet submittal process for schools that don’t send batch files • Allows direct upload to NSLDSFAP website from user’s computer • Uses spreadsheet created by the user • User can use the Roster File, in CSV format, received from NSLDS to create the spreadsheet • Any errors are displayed right away on the user’s screen • File has 1 MB size limitation (that is lots of students!) The SSCR Release 3.0 software is no longer available!

  17. Enrollment Spreadsheet Submittal 17

  18. Enrollment Spreadsheet Submittal • The Enrollment Spreadsheet Submittal Format is posted in the "Software and Associated Documents" section of the Federal Student Aid Download (FSAdownload) website • Instructions can be found in the NSLDS Enrollment Reporting Guide posted on IFAP January, 2013 18

  19. Using Third-Party Servicers • Many schools use a Third-Party Servicer to report enrollment data to NSLDS on the school’s behalf • We recommend • Schools verify that new and transfer students are being added to the correct school location • Schools ensure that students that are certified as enrolled at multiple locations are actually attending multiple school locations • Don’t forget that all Third-Party Servicers must be added to your school’s ECAR 19
