Enrollment Import Logic and Validations

The following import elements are considered key fields:

  • District Number
  • School Number
  • Calendar Number
  • State ID (Student)
  • Start Date (Enrollment)
  • Year

A match on a student's identity record must occur before enrollment or graduation data can be imported for the student. The following match logic is used:

  • A student enrollment is identified when a match occurs on the following: DistrictID, personID
    • DistrictID is logically derived by identifying the ID using the district number provided in the import
    • personID is logically derived by using the stateID and districtNumber

Once a match has been made to a student Identity, Campus will attempt a match on enrollment to determine if a new or existing enrollment should be created.

  • A student enrollment is identified when a match occurs on the following: DistrictID, endYear, personID, calendarID, structureID, startDate
    • DistrictID as identified via the identify match
    • endYear is the value provided in the import
    • PersonID as identified via the identify search in the identity match
    • calendarID is logically derived by using districtNumber, schoolNumber, calendarNumber and endYear as provided in the import
    • structureID is logically derived by using the calendarID (Campus expects only 1 schedule structure per calendar)
    • startDate is the value provided in the import
      • A new enrollment will be created for students where the start date of the enrollment record in the import does NOT match the current enrollment located within Campus.

The following elements on Enrollment record will be updated when a match to a Student Identity and corresponding Enrollment occurs:

  • Service Type
  • Local Start Status
  • End Date
  • Local End Status
  • Drop Out Reason
  • Sort By Field
  • Grade

Blank fields provided in the Import will OVERWRITE any existing values.

Logic will match the import record to a student identity and update/create a new Graduation record based on the following logic:

  • A student is identified when a match occurs on the following: DistrictID, personID
    • DistrictID is logically derived by identifying the ID using the district number provided in the import
    • personID is logically derived by using the stateID provided in the import and districtNumber
  • If there is no match, an error is presented and logic ends.
  • If a match is found, the following Graduation logic occurs:
    • If the Grade in the import equals = 09, logic creates a new Graduation record ONLY if no other previously existing record is present in Campus. If a Graduation already exists, logic will update the existing record with the information in the import file.
    • If the Grade in the import equals = 10, 11, 12, or any number less than 9, logic will update any existing Graduation record or if no Graduation record exists, no records are updated nor created.
  • When Campus generates a Graduation record for an imported 9th Grade student, the following Graduation record values are auto-populated:
    • Date First Entered the 9th Grade = The Start Date from the 9th Grade Enrollment record
    • NCLB Cohort End Year = The end year of the 9th Grade enrollment record + three years.
    • NGA Cohort End Year = The end year of the 9th Grade enrollment record + three years.

Addition import logic is as follows

  • Enrollment End Statuses cannot be 300, 310, 320, 330 or 340 when Grade Level is P1, PK, KH, KF or 01-06.
  • The Dropout Reason must be NULL when the Enrollment End Status is not 300-340.
  • The Diploma Date field must be NULL if the Enrollment End Status is not 400.
  • The Diploma Type field must be NULL if the Enrollment End Status is not 400.
  • The Diploma Period field must be NULL if the Enrollment End Status is not 400.
  • The tool will allow multiple calendars to be imported at one however, calendar with multiple schedule structures will not be imported and an error will be returned.

Enrollment Start and End Status Codes:

  • District Edition users have the ability to map local codes to state codes.
  • Only state codes will sync to the state. Local Enrollment Start and End Status codes will not sync.
  • Montana Edition users do not have the ability to map local codes to state codes. The dictionaries for both Local and State Enrollment Status codes are identical. Montana Edition users will import State Codes and the import will match the State Code provided to the Local Enrollment Status Code.
  • For District Edition users, the Local Enrollment Status codes MUST match State Status Codes or validation logic within the import will fail causing unexpected import results.
