Use this window to track changes to the Degree History table (DEGREE_HISTORY).
This window displays all of the columns from the Degree History window and the Student Information window | Degree tab except for these subtabs:
· Leave of Absence
· Graduation Stage
When you make a change to any of the columns on the Degree, Degree Program, and Graduation subtabs, a trigger on the Degree History table inserts a row into DEGREE_HISTORY_ARCHIVE.
When you change a column that may impact National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) program reporting, a pop-up prompts you to enter an Effective Date. The NSC reporting process in J1 uses the Effective Date as the Program Begin Date.

For changes that don’t constitute a change of program, we recommend that you populate the Effective Date with the Entry Date that is on that Degree History row. |
![]() |
When change of major does not constitute change of program, such as a change that keeps the student in the BA degree program, use the Entry Date as the Effective Date. |
![]() |
When the change of major does constitute a change of program, edit the Effective Date to match the date the student began the program. |
The left panel displays each Effective Date for the Degree History table. Select a change date to see the data for that change. Changed fields are highlighted in dark blue.
