Navigating the NSC Enrollment Report: Essential Configuration Tips for Success
Many institutions view the NSC Enrollment report as a ready-to-use solution. However, it requires careful configuration tailored to your school’s needs. This configuration should be part of the Student Records workstream during implementation and this person should collaborate with someone experienced in calculated fields to ensure your report meets specific institutional requirements.
Pre-Work is Key
Before diving into the NSC Enrollment report, thorough preparation is vital. Work closely with your NSC representative to pinpoint required submission elements. This step is crucial for preventing complications later on.
Fixing Underlying Data Issues
A common mistake is modifying data in Excel files instead of resolving issues within Workday. Whenever you notice a problem, focus on correcting it at the source. This method maintains the integrity of your records and reduces the chances of repeated errors. For instance, if a particular program has consistent enrollment discrepancies, correcting the data entry process can prevent future misreporting.
Consider Federal and State Reporting
As you configure your NSC Enrollment report, keep in mind federal and state reporting requirements. This aspect is vital for compliance and accurate data representation. For example, before using features like stackable programs of study, always check how your data appears on key federal reports, such as the NSC Enrollment report.
Failure to consider these elements can lead to institutional penalties.
