  8. New For AY 2014All KSPSD Collections • All Files • Eliminated the option of uploading files with no decimals • There will no longer be a question on the upload page to select decimal/no decimal • Why? In the past, some data was submitted incorrectly when utilizing the no decimal option

  9. New for AY 2014All KSPSD Collections • All Files • Only submit federally assigned SSN’s in student identification number field (SSN) • In the past, institutions have used college assigned numbers if the SSN was unknown • Social Security Administration expanded their range of numbers and there is overlap between federal SSNs and some college assigned numbers • SSN is used for matching to labor data and labor data could be matched to wrong students • If an SSN is unknown, enter all zeros

  10. New for AY 2014KSPSD AY Collection • Enrolled Flags • Adding Student Level Field • Student level will be collected for each term the student is enrolled in at your institution • Why? Needed for Student Financing Module tuition analysis

  12. New For AY 2014PI/CI Process for Workforce Aid* • Add program (SAPP) and PO course; tie course to program • Create BI course which is the same as PO course and link to program and flag as workforce aid course (new flag in CI) • Submit contract with Commerce as paperwork required for BI course • Enroll participating students in the BI course • Contact KBOR Workforce Development Unit for complete documentation on the process. * Companies work with Commerce to provide free training to potential applicants. Commerce contracts with institutions to provide the training. Currently only WIT has a contract, but others are being negotiated.

  16. ReminderKHEDS Collections • Students Information File • Date of Birth is NOT an optional field. • Match data is critical to success. • Matching within KBOR system for Student Success Index • Matching students to KSDE data for P20 database • Matching licensure/credentialing data for outcome metrics, Foresight 2020 and research initiatives • It should only be left blank or populated with zeros if the DOB is truly not known. Note : BTE exception – Business & Industry section that is reporting enrollment counts only

  17. ReminderKSPSD AY Collections • Transfers File • Include any undergraduate who is in the new undergrads file that has transferred to your institution for the first time • Do not include students who start at your institution, transfer to another and then come back • New edit (error) in place for AY collection

  18. ReminderKSPSD AY Collection • New Undergrads File • Student Type (Match EF, TR) • Transfer student • Students indicated as transfers should be students transferring to institution for the first time. Students that attend your institution, leave to attend another institution and then come back, should not be included. Note: This definition is different from QA definition because fields are used for different purposes.

  19. ReminderKSPSD AY Collection • New Undergrads File • Student Type (Match EF, TR) • First-time Entering • A current high school student is not considered first-time entering • First- time entering postsecondary regardless of classification (Example – Could come in as a sophomore due to credit obtained while in HS) • If entering in Summer and then again in Fall, count first-time for both • A student may be a first-time entering student even if they are classified as a transfer in qualified admissions( Example - High School graduate entering postsecondary with at least 24 hours of college credit obtained while in high school.)

  20. ReminderKSPSD AY Collection • New Undergrads File • Qualified Admissions Type (Universities only) • Match QA Survey Collection • Definitions were clarified last year to eliminate confusion • Legislative Requests and reporting to the Board necessitate use of KHEDS QA data, not just QA Collection

ReminderKSPSD AY Collection • New Undergrads File • Critical fields for P20 Database • Field: High School Grad Date • Matching students between systems, defining cohort • Field: First Term Enrolled • Measuring cohort progress (For semester based institutions, please use 08 for the month for fall, 01 for spring and 06 for summer) • Field: Student Type • For matching between systems, it is critical to know if they are first-time entering or transfer

  23. ReminderKSPSD AY Collection • Completions file (SAPPS) • All completers, including SAPP completers, should be submitted • All SAPP completers will be included in Follow Up file • Although SAPPs are not eligible for Perkins, the data is needed for outcome metrics, performance agreements, and KTIP reporting

  24. ReminderKHEDS AY Collection • 20th Day Definition • Students enrolled on 20th day (Even if they withdrew after 20th day) • Students who are enrolled in a course that begins and ends before the 20th day • Students enrolled in a course that starts after the 20th day provided that they are still enrolled as of the course’s census day • Do not include students that enrolled after 20th day and dropped before course started • Exception – “Completers only” that are in the student info and completions files

  25. ReminderKHEDS AY Collection • BTE must be completed and Locked before the AY Collection can be Locked

  26. ReminderKHEDS Fall Collection • 20th Day Definition • Students enrolled on 20th day (Even if they withdrew after 20th day) • Students who are enrolled in a course that begins and ends before the 20th day

  27. Optional but Preferred KSPSD AY & Fall Collections • Enrolled Flags, Enrollments, and Campus Files • Prefer to identify students attending branch campuses • Insert Branch Code for student in Enrolled Flags and Enrollments • Enter corresponding Campus Code and description in Campus File • Enables KBOR to exclude students based on campus (Example – FHSU’s China campus)

  28. Data Issues/FAQs • Declared Majors - How to handle students who audit classes • Enter the number of credit hours of the course even though the student is getting zero credits. The Outcome will be “AUDIT”. • New Undergrads – How to handle multiple placement tests • If more than one test is used, use the placement test used to place the student in a suitable course. If numerous test are used to place the student, pick the test that has the highest weight. If they all are weighted the same, pick the test with the best score.

  29. New for AY 2014 Student Financing Module • Student Financing Module • Now integrated into the AY Collection • Data will be made available to the Board and will be used for reporting purposes after certification period • No corrections/changes will be made after the certification period

  30. New Warnings for AY 2014 Student Financing Module • Student Costs • Warning - No Students Reported as SB 155 • Students Financing File • Student is in Enrolled Flags (EF) and not Students Financing (FN) • Warning – “Would expect each student to have at least one FN record for each term enrolled unless they are 100% self-pay.”

  31. New Fatal Error for AY 2014 Student Financing Module • Students Financing File • Student is in Students Financing (FN) and not Enrolled Flags (EF) • Fatal – “For each FN record, there must be an EF record. Reporting Periods must match.”

  32. SFM Data Issues and Clarifications • SFM data collection covers the same timeframe as AY – Summer 2013, Fall 2013 and Spring 2014 • In the Student Costs file tuition charges should be reported before adjustments are made • Tuition should NOT include required fees • Required fees are reported separately in student costs file

  33. SFM Data Issues and Clarifications • All records in Enrolled Flags (EF) must have a Student Costs record (SC) • All records in Students Financing (FN) must also have a record in Enrolled Flags (EF) • SSN and Student ID must match in all files or system will generate errors

  34. SFM Data Issues and Clarifications • Students Cost File • Reported EFC Months cannot exceed 12 • Example: If a student is enrolled full-time in SU, FA, SP reported months would be 3.0, 4.5, 4.5 respectively. • Each Reporting Period must have a Primary Cost record • If a student has multiple tuition rates within a single reporting period suggested guidance is to report the largest number of credit hours as Primary and all others as Subsequent.

  35. SFM Data Issues and Clarifications • Students Financing File • Only 1 record per student per reporting period enrolled per STAN (Funding Source/Funding Type/Award Type/Award Need) • If a student has more than one institutional scholarship with same STAN the system will error this out • These must be rolled-up into a single total per STAN per Student per Reporting Period

  36. SFM Data Issues and Clarifications • Students Financing File • Midwest Student Exchange Program (MSEP) • MSEP students are Waivers • 529 funds are an award • These should be treated like cash and not reported in the FN file

  37. SFM Data Issues and Clarifications • Students Financing Warning • “Would expect each student at least one FN record for each term that student is enrolled.” • This will continue to be a warning • Students who pay out-of-pocket will not have an FN record • We want institutions to be aware of how many students they are reporting as self-pay to help ensure data is correct

  38. SFM Data Issues and Clarifications • Basic Counts Report • It is very important that all parties involved in providing the SFM data review the Basic Counts report for accuracy. We will be reporting on the data provided to us in the AY 2014 collection. • Unlike this past year, we will not be allowing schools to go back and correct the SFM data once it has been certified.

  39. SFM FAQs • Will I need to certify my SFM collection? • SFM is part of the AY collection and will be certified as part of AY. • What do I do if I don’t see a code (tuition type, tuition waiver, etc.) that fits what my institution does? • Contact IR Help at irhelp@ksbor.org . Provide as much information about the code as possible.

  40. SFM FAQs • I don’t understand the difference between a primary cost record and a subsequent cost record? • Every student in Enrolled Flags must have a primary cost record for each term enrolled. • Some students will have subsequent cost records if they have multiple tuition types. • Which one you mark as primary or subsequent does not matter! • Other costs (ex. Room & board, book & supplies, etc.) are only included with the primary cost record. (These costs must be reported as zero on subsequent cost records for that student for that reporting term to avoid duplicating costs).

  41. SFM FAQs • What do I do if a student and/or family pays for all education costs? • Record all periods in which the student is enrolled in the Students Costs file. Do not report anything in the Students Financing file. • What students should be submitted in the collection? • All students that are reported in the Enrolled Flags file should also be reported in the Students Costs file and probably the Students Financing file unless 100% self pay.

  42. SFM FAQs • Why does KBOR need this information? • NCHEMS & SHEEO list Financing Module as one of 15 Essential Characteristics of data system • They conclude “…including financial aid data in a postsecondary longitudinal database is a wise investment.” • To answer questions such as… • Are we pricing students out of higher education? • Is there a correlation between aid received, debt incurred and retention? • As costs / aid availability change, how does composition of students change? • What does student debt look like?

  43. Reminder KHEDSCertification • KHEDS certification certifies: • KSPSD AY and Fall (Includes SFM starting with AY 2014) • BTE • Program Inventory/Course Inventory, Courses Within Program (CWP) • Program Review NOTE: Includes KHEDS data used for Perkins allocations.

  44. 2014 AY and FallKHEDSCertification / Review Period • Certifying the completeness and accuracy of KHEDS data submission – very important - institutions will not be allowed to go back and make corrections after the data has been certified unless a special circumstance exists. • President will certify at 2-year institutions • Chief Academic Officer will certify at Universities

  45. 2014 AY and FallKHEDSCertification / Review Period • Last date to lock KHEDS AY 2014 – September 15 Fall Census– December 1 Please review all reports before locking • After lock date, KBOR will run standard quality assurance reports during the one week Review Period and institutions should review submission.

  46. 2014 AY and FallKHEDSCertification / Review Period (cont’d) • Re-open (unlock) for corrections are allowed during the Review Period. • All re-open requests can be accommodated during the certification period if data has not been certified. • If the data has been certified and a correction needs to made during this time period, only the President/CAO can request it to be reopened and special circumstances must exist to support the request.

  47. 2014 AY and Fall KHEDSCertification / Review Period (cont’d) • Each institution is ultimately responsible for the accuracy and completeness of its submission.

  48. 2014 AY and Fall KHEDSCertification / Review Period (cont’d) Timing of BTE Collection • BTE collection will lock/certify on same schedule as KSPSD AY 2014 collection • Collection period does not change - July 1, 2013 to July 15, 2014 • Lock by September 15, 2014 • Certify by September 30, 2014
