The Registrar's Office will rely solely on the official enrollment and withdrawal status fields and dates recorded in Banner as the source for all enrollment reporting to the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) and subsequently NSLDS. Internal lists, such as graduation lists or ad hoc reports, will no longer serve as the primary source for effective dates. For students identified in the audit sample, the registrar will review and correct NSLDS records to ensure that status codes and effective dates align with the official institutional records.

This includes validating that students who attend and withdraw in the same term are correctly reflected as withdrawn in NSLDS, rather than remaining in a prior status.
4. Retrospective review and clean-up of recent terms.
