Welcome and thank you for choosing StudentTracker for Colleges & Universities.<\/strong> On this page, we will walk you through the steps to help you implement and start using your service, as well as provide helpful resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Create your batch query file<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you are researching more than 11 students at a time, you should submit a batch query file. For instructions on formatting your batch query file, see “Batch File Submission” in our user manual<\/a><\/strong> (if you are with a college system, see this guide<\/a><\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warning:<\/strong> The data in columns B (OPEID<\/em>), C (Branch<\/em>) and D (School Name<\/em>) of the header row of your file should contain your six-digit school code, two-digit branch code, and your school name respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Submit your file via FTP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Submit your files to the National Student Clearinghouse via our secure FTP site. Remember that your FTP account is a shared login for your organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
