Detail Report Details

Student Information

Columns A through H of the detail report contain the information you entered for each student in your batch query file. In the following sample report, Darren A. Young appears twice. This is because Darren has two postsecondary terms within this file’s search range.

Enrollment Information

Columns I through U of the detail report contain student enrollment information as reported by institutions. Columns N and O list the term begin and end dates. Your institution must submit expanded data elements in your enrollment reporting files in order to receive the expanded data in columns Q through U.

Enrollment Status (column P) might not be returned in reports for specific students if their reporting institution does not consider it directory information, which blocks the data element from being released.

This section shows that Darren A. Young attended Raffles Community College (a two-year, public college in California) in the fall 2015 and spring 2016 terms. Both of Darren’s terms were less-than-half time (L), meaning he only took one or two courses at Raffles each reported term.

Degree Information

Columns V through AG of the detail report contain degree information, if available. Your institution must be active with the DegreeVerify service in order for you to receive degree information in your reports. Active Expanded Data Discount schools receive the data in these columns.

While Darren did not receive any degrees within the search range, Frank Hwang received two bachelors of the arts in architecture and in Chinese in the spring 2013 semester.
