Is data from the submission used for compliance reporting?<\/strong><\/td>\nNo, advanced registration data is not used for compliance reporting. It is used for Myhub or Student Self-Service, which allows students to receive discounts on computers, car insurance, and other products as a result of their enrollment. Advanced Registration data is also used for Sentinel 360SM\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0to enable\u00a0participating schools to review previous and current enrollment patterns associated with suspicious enrollment.<\/td>\nYes.

How do these two submission types differ?<\/strong><\/td>\n\n
    \n
  • Allows your students to obtain early verifications for health insurance, computer software discounts, housing verifications and more if you participate in Myhub or Student Self-Service.<\/li>\n
  • Frees your staff from performing pre-enrollment verifications.<\/li>\n
  • Sentinel 360 delivers national-scale enrollment visibility by securely linking cross-institutional enrollment signals into a single, continuously updated view that shows where applicants and students are engaging beyond your campus.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n
\n
    \n
  • Used for compliance reporting.<\/li>\n
  • Captures student status changes occurring before your school\u2019s census date and before submission of your first-of-term file if you have multiple terms starting on separate dates (see Who should I include?<\/em> below for limitations to this).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
When should I send my file?<\/strong><\/td>\nAny time before the term begin date.<\/td>\nAfter the first day of the term but before the census date of the term.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Who should I include?<\/strong><\/td>\nAll students pre-registered for the upcoming term.<\/td>\nAll students registered for the upcoming term unless their status is less than half-time. If you cannot separate the less than half-time students out, we will reject them for you. You can disregard these students on your reject detail report.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
When is data available for verifications?<\/strong><\/td>\nImmediately via Myhub or Student Self-Service and until the first day of the term.<\/td>\nAs soon as it\u2019s loaded into our system.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Are there any processing concerns?<\/strong><\/td>\n\n
    \n
  • Make sure modifications made to your extract program to provide advanced registration data do not impact the extract used to provide enrollment data for compliance reporting.<\/li>\n
  • Remember that advanced registration files are automatically loaded into our database and become immediately available to your students who need pre-enrollment verifications.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n
Always submit early registration files after<\/span> <\/strong>the first day of the term. Sending them before the first day of the term can result in NSLDS SSCR Error Codes 30 and 69 on your next SSCR Error Report.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
