Enrollment Reporting to NSLDS
Planned Corrective Action: Finalize automation of file configuration, reporting schedule, and transmission process.
Person Responsible for Corrective Action Plan: Sid Parrish, Vice President of Institutional Reporting
Anticipated Date of Completion: December 31, 2025
While Newberry College successfully transitioned to the JI platform as planned, the automation of enrollment reporting to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) has not yet been fully implemented on the projected timeline. This delay is primarily due to the unexpectedly complex nature of the data table transition required within the new system. The structure and formatting of enrollment data in JI differed significantly from our previous platform, requiring extensive mapping, validation, and customization to ensure accuracy and alignment with NSLDS reporting requirements. That portion of the work is now complete. In addition, the College experienced a change in personnel within the Registrar's Office. While our new Registrar brings significant experience with other student information systems, she required full training on the JI system before assuming full reporting responsibilities.
To ensure resolution, the College's Director of Institutional Research is working closely with the Information Technology team and the new Registrar to finalize the automation process. This includes active collaboration with both the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) and NSLDS to identify, understand, and clear errors that have surfaced in early iterations of the automated enrollment file. These efforts have helped isolate remaining issues and informed adjustments to the file configuration, reporting schedule, and transmission process. We believe this will lead to a fully functional, automated enrollment reporting process by the end of fiscal year 2025.
In the interim, the Registrar is manually submitting enrollment files to the NSC to ensure that student status information is communicated to NSLDS in a timely and accurate manner. This manual submission process remains in place and will continue until the automated solution is fully operational.
