52. Common Questions What’s the difference between a graduate/professional certificate and a post-baccalaureate certificate?

No, enrollment status must also be reported to COD 52

53. Common Questions Program Begin Date vs Program Enrollment Effective Date Program Begin Date is the date the student actually started in the program of study. This does not change based on a new term date Program Enrollment Effective Date is the date of the enrollment status being reported for that program. Date only changes when enrollment status changes Cannot certify future enrollment, i.e., for a term that has not already begun Report changes of program using whatever date your system uses 53

54. Common Questions Using Transfer Student Monitoring (TSM) to add students to Enrollment rosters NSLDS adds students to rosters based on the monitoring Enrollment Begin Date Monitoring should not start until the student is actually enrolled When student appears on the roster, report actual enrollment information 54

NSLDS is the only source that links individual enrollment statuses to individual persons Recently, The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2014, directed the U. S. Department of Education to report information on Pell Grant recipients’ academic success (graduation) to CongressThe Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2014 61

62. Academic Success and Outcomes Enrollment Reporting focus will now shift to include academic success of loan and grant recipients New College Ratings on the Financial Aid Shopping Sheet Median income of borrowers who complete Graduation rates What happens to students who complete In 2015, NSLDS will be providing all schools the opportunity to update individual student’s completion/graduation data 62
