General Rules and Guidelines for Programs
Listed below are some guidelines for entering and maintaining programs.
Entering First Day of School
Any student who enters a program on the first day of the school and calendar for the enrollment building, will be given a date of 7/1 as a Start Date in the Programs Fact file, as specified by State Guidelines. If the date is after the first day, the entered date will be reported.
Example 1: First Day of School = 09/07/2010

|---|---|---|
Program | Start Date | End Date |
AIS | 9/7/2010 | |

Student Exit Date
Any Date-Tracking vectors that have a Start Date, End Date AND Withdrawal Reason will be treated as an actual end to the program and will receive an End Date in the Programs Fact file. Programs with both a Start Date and End Date but NO Withdrawal Reason will be treated as records for internal purposes and no End Date will be reported in the Programs Fact file.
Example 1: Student Exited the Program
In Programs: | |||
|---|---|---|---|
Program | Start Date | End Date | Withdraw Reason |
AIS | 9/10/2010 | 10/1/2010 | XYZ |

Program | Start Date | End Date | Withdraw Reason |
AIS | 9/10/2010 | 10/1/2010 |
10/1/2010 End Date since there is a withdraw reason.
Example 2: End Date for Internal Purposes
In Programs: | |||

AIS | 9/10/2010 | 10/1/2010 | |

Program | Start Date | End Date | Withdraw Reason |
AIS | 9/10/2010 |
No End Date with No Withdrawal Reason
School Level Services have a Service Provider element attached. If the Service Provider element is entered with the same entry date as the service, then the Service Provider entered will be used in the State Location field within the Programs Fact file. If no Service Provider is entered, then the student's Enrollment Building will be used.
Example 1: Enrollment Building = 1
In Programs: | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Program | Start Date | End Date | Withdraw Reason | Building |
AIS | 10/2/2010 | 1 | ||
