3. About the Center for Educational Performance and Information (CEPI)
CEPI is a division of the State Budget Office at the State Of Michigan
Established in 2000, CEPI is responsible for collecting, securely managing, and reporting education data in Michigan. CEPI started collecting postsecondary data in 2011.

4. Michigan Data Sources for Postsecondary Reporting
Student Transcript Academic Report Repository (STARR)
Postsecondary data managed by CEPI - works with participating IHEs to define collection to meet legislation and reporting requirements
Michigan Student Data System (MSDS)
K-12 data managed by CEPI – some reports will include information about Early Middle College program participation and exit status and demographic information from last known high school
Assessment scores and CTE program information available from the Michigan Department of Education

5. External Data Sources for Postsecondary Reporting
National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) StudentTracker
Postsecondary data – CEPI sends all high school graduates, current high school students, and any student reported in STARR for matching
Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS)
Postsecondary data – CEPI incorporates IPEDS entity information for NSC colleges and university and CIP naming conventions

6. Connecting the Data with UIC
CEPI has assigned any student receiving educational services in Michigan a unique identification code (UIC)
All student and accompanying data is submitted to CEPI with the UIC
If a high school participates with E-Transcript, all transcripts sent to a college or university will include the UIC

7. Connecting Early Childhood, K-12, Postsecondary and Beyond – Michigan Longitudinal Data System
With common data definitions/standards, CEPI is able to connect different data sources – whether or not they are collected by CEPI – and allow for powerful reporting
