Below are details of the data and source of the data collected to populate the Institutional Research Student Data tables when you click the Collect Student Data button on the Create/Work with Snapshots window.
|
For the Financial Aid IPEDS report, you should get data directly through PowerFAIDS, even though a snapshot may collect data for the IPEDS Fall Enrollment and GRS reports. |
When you are collecting data for IPEDS 12-Month Enrollment or IPEDS Fall Enrollment/GRS or you are using a Purpose Code you have defined and have selected the Enrollment radio button on the Data Collect Records Selection Method prompt, this process selects DEGREE_HISTORY rows where
STUDENT_DIV_MAST.ENTRY_DTE <= SNAPSHOT_DTE AND
STUDENT_DIV_MAST.DIV_CDE = DEGREE_HISTORY.DIV_CDE AND
DEGREE_HISTORY.DEGR_EARNED_AT = '*LOCAL' AND
DEGREE_HISTORY.ENTRY_DTE <= SNAPSHOT_DTE
|
If multiple Degree History rows are found, the one with the most recent Entry Date and Sequence Number is used. |
|
Before J1 2023.1, the process had one more parameter ("and DEGREE_HISTORY.EXIT_DTE = NULL or >= SNAPSHOT_DTE"), but it caused issues for some data, and it wasn't necessary, so it was removed in 2023.1. |
When you are collecting data for IPEDS Completions or you are using a Purpose Code you have defined and have selected the Degree radio button on the Data Collection Records Selection Method prompt, this process selects DEGREE_HISTORY rows where
STUDENT_DIV_MAST.ENTRY_DTE <= SNAPSHOT_DTE AND
STUDENT_DIV_MAST.DIV_CDE = DEGREE_HISTORY.DIV_CDE AND
DEGREE_HISTORY.DEGR_EARNED_AT = '*LOCAL' AND
DEGREE_HISTORY.ENTRY_DTE <= SNAPSHOT_DTE AND
DEGREE_HISTORY.DTE_DEGR_CONFERRED <= SNAPSHOT_DTE
|
When you use a query to select students, it is important to create a query that selects the students that have a Degree History Date Degree Conferred prior to the Report Date you are using. |
|
If multiple Degree History rows are found, the one with the most recent Date Degree Conferred and Sequence Number is used. |

AND
DEGREE_HISTORY.DIV_CDE = a division for which DIVISION_DEF.IPEDS_DIV_CDE = ???U'
Rows are selected where
DTE_DEGR_CONFERRED IS NOT NULL (getting the row with the latest DTE_DEGR_CONFERRED)
