Program Level Report Errors Resolution

Table of Contents

Once your institution uploads the Program Level Report file, the Clearinghouse will process the data and conduct validations against strict field-level definitions and standards. If our Financial Value Transparency and Gainful Employment (FVT/GE) system flags errors on the uploaded Program Level file, you will be presented with a list of errors that must be corrected. Once all the errors are resolved, click “Accept and send” to have your Program Level Report sent from the Clearinghouse to NSLDS.

You can manage the errors listed below via the FVT/GE service on our secure site.
