NSC Part-Time Full-Time Table Window

Use this window to add, view, modify, and delete codes for part-time and full-time status. This sets up the rules for Registration to determine each student's enrollment status according to the number of PT/FT hours enrolled. This information is used in generating reports for the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC). J1 will use the numbers you enter to assign students a status by looking up the courses for which they are registered.

When J1 updates each student's NSC part time/full time status, it uses two of the three regular Registration part time/full time update setups. In this way, courses can be excluded from the part time/full time update if they have been:

The third regular Registration PT/FT update setup, the Calculate FT/PT using only current student division checkbox on the Registration Configuration window is not applicable to the NSC report and is not implemented with the NSC PT/FT update.

Setup

For each combination of division and term at your organization, you need to enter the maximum number of credit hours a student can take to be considered "less than half-time" or "half-time." If any information is missing, this will result in a blank status on the report file, which will have to be corrected manually. Set up your table according to the following logic from the NSC's Programming and Testing Procedures document.
