Planned Corrective Action:
As soon as UW-Milwaukee was notified during the LAB review process that enrollment
status effective dates were being reported incorrectly, we took action to correct this
issue. While a permanent fix to the extract process from PeopleSoft is dependent on
Oracle providing a reliable solution to the issue or UW-Milwaukee Information
Technology rewriting a custom process and therefore outside of the immediate control
of the Registrar’s Office, the Registrar’s Office did immediately start using the “mass
correction” feature for the 1800 series warnings provided by the NSC. This will result in
enrollment status effective dates which fulfil the Department of Education’s
requirements. Since utilizing the “mass correction” option increases the amount of time
needed to work through NSC error and warning reports, the Registrar’s Office is
hopeful that a more permanent reliable solution on the SIS level will be coming in the
future. In the meantime, we will continue to utilize the mass correction option to ensure
that enrollment status effective dates are only changed if a student’s enrollment status
changes, per the Department of Education’s requirements.
UW-Milwaukee Registrar’s Office staff reviewed the records of the five individuals that
LAB indicated did not have accurate data reported to the NSLDS. We discovered that
the data was reported accurately for enrollment status changes, which would result in a
change in effective date. However, it appears that the NSLDS roster request schedule
differs from UW-Milwaukee’s enrollment reporting schedule to the NSC. UWMilwaukee reports enrollment information to the NSC on the third Tuesday of each
month. It looks like the NSLDS does a roster request at the beginning of the third week
of each month. We will investigate if it is possible to adjust our NSC submission
schedule to move up by one week, so new data should be available for the mid-month
NSLDS roster request.
