Degree Period Window

The Degree Period window allows you to add, view, modify, and delete Degree Periods. Degree Periods are used to:

·       Identify the actual commencement or graduation periods on the Degree History window, which allows organizations to identify every graduation period within one academic year.

·       Identify the NSC Degree Periods for which the records are being submitted. An NSC Degree Period can include multiple graduation periods to accommodate organizations that submit data to NSC once a year but have multiple graduation periods within that year.

When the final transmittal file is created by the NSC Degree Verification process, the NSC_DEGREE_PERIOD_CDE column is updated on the DEGREE_HISTORY table. This column will then be displayed on the Degree History window for view only purposes. Also, when the NSC Degree Verification file is submitted for a specific degree period, that Degree Period record cannot be edited.

 

If your organization elects not to use the NSC Degree Verification process, you can use this window to identify the commencement/degree periods for reporting purposes by assigning the degree period individually on a per-student degree basis.
