Data Quality Specifications
- Ensure there is no mismatch between early college type and delivery mode - Bridge Year (BY) and Concurrent Enrollment (CE) are never offered online (at least, with very RARE exceptions). The field Audit Issue - Delivery Mode flags any BY and CE sections that have delivery modes of Web. Please check with the institution's registrar to determine whether or not this is a coding error.
- The field Audit Issue - Program is used to flag students who have an old academic program (NDUG, NDUN), indicating that they need to be migrated to either NDEC or (for USM) NECN. This migration needs to occur before census.
- Ensure there is not a mismatch between the EC type and the facility. BY and CE sections are very rarely located on a college campus. If a campus location is present, it should be reviewed with the institution's registrar for verification.
