Arkansas State Reporting
Tip
Only releases with enhancements or resolved issues for this module have content below.
New State Fund Code Definitions
The PF_State_Fund_Def_Master and PF_State_Fund_Def_SIT tables now include the following default data to use for the 2025 Arkansas FAID reports:
USPELLPE (Federal Pell for Prisoner Education)
USWIOA (Federal Workforce Innovation & Opportunity Act)
ARACPLUS (Academic Challenge Plus Scholarship)
The added codes appear on the State Fund Code Definition window as well as the State Fund Code drop-down on the Fund Master window. They are also available for mapping on the Institutional Reporting Definitions window under the AR FAID PUB and AR FAID IND reports' Fund Code.
New Reports
New AR Annual Athlete Report
The new AR Annual Athlete Report (AR ATHLETE PUBLIC) is an annual report that includes all students listed on any intercollegiate athletic roster during the academic year being reported. All student athletes in this file must also have been reported in the Student File for at least one term of the same academic year.
New AR Grade Change Report
The AR Grade Change Report (AR GRADE CHANGE) is submitted on an ad hoc basis. It can be run at any time to report grade changes
New Fields Added to Student Term Report
Two new fields were added to the Student Term (STRPT_AR_TERM_STUDENT_DATA) report to honor changes made to the AHEIS Manual. The data collected by both fields can be maintained from the Student Details tab of the Maintain Snapshot window.
ITIN
The student's government-issued Individual Taxpayer Identification Number
Typically only used by international students with no Social Security Number
Field allows nulls, must be numeric
For students who have a valid, government-issued ITIN. Do not report an ITIN in the SSN field. This ID should not match the SSN.
Transfer OPE ID
The Office of Postsecondary Education Identifier for the student's previous secondary schools
This field is populated based on the data in the student's Previous College field.
OPE codes for organizations are set using the OPE button at the bottom of the Organization Master Organization window.
If an OPE code is not found, the system will automatically substitute the FICE code with two additional zeroes for Arkansas schools or the Address Master State Code with nines added to make the code eight digits (Ex. TX999999).

Arkansas Open Checkbook Reports Now Generated with InfoMaker
Arkansas Open Checkbook reports that were previously generated with Izenda are now generated with InfoMaker. These reports can be managed in the Campus Portal's PDF Reports feature under the new Arkansas Checkbook category. There are 5 default reports available:
Category Summary
Category Detail
Payee Detail for Category
Payee Summary
Payee Detail
The reports are stored in the new arkopenchkbk.pbl (C:\Users\Public\Documents\J1 Web Application Services\arkopenchkbk.pbl).
For additional information about generating these reports, see Setting Up Arkansas Open Checkbook Reports and the PDF Reports online help.
2021.3
First Generation Student Added to Student Information
A new field, First Generation Student, is now on the Student Information window, Student tab, Student Master tab, Other Student Information group. The value options are Yes, No, and Unknown. The field is needed for Arkansas Public Student Term reports, but it's available to all schools.
For Arkansas reporting, the field is optional for academic year 2021–22 but required for academic year 2022–23.

Arkansas Department of Higher Education defines a First Generation Student as a student neither of whose parents completed a baccalaureate degree—or in the case of any who regularly resided with and received support from only one parent, an individual whose only such parent did not complete a baccalaureate degree.
In the term report, it's field #211. We've updated the Arkansas Public Term Reports Guide on MyJenzabar.com to include the field.

RN25946 | In the Arkansas Public Term report, the Course | Receiving Course Location field was not accurate in all circumstances, and it sometimes populated the Course | County Code Field when it should have been left blank. |
Field Changes for Arkansas Non-Credit Workforce Education Reports
Starting Starting with the 2020–2021 academic year, Arkansas Non-Credit Workforce Education reports are annual rather than per term. They're due in the fall of the following academic year.
The State Reporting Snapshot Data window has changed to match the fields needed for the report.
On the Course Detail tab (for the Non-Credit Workforce Education Course File), we made these changes:
Added columns
Course Start Date
(STRPT_AR_TERM_WORKFORCE_DATA.COURSE_START_DATE)
Course End Date
(STRPT_AR_TERM_WORKFORCE_DATA.COURSE_END_DATE)
Removed column
Registration Term
(STRPT_AR_TERM_WORKFORCE_DATA.REGISTRATION_TERM)
Note
We removed this column from the Student tab (for the Non-Credit Workforce Education Student File), too.

New Unknown Attribute Code for Perkins I Special Populations
When filing the 2021-22 Fiscal Year Perkins I Special Population report, Arkansas now requires schools to track a new Unknown value for students in CTE (Career & Technical) programs. This code distinguishes CTE students who respond to the special populations survey and don’t meet any specific special populations from those that do not respond at all and are therefore Unknown. Any students with no Perkins I Survey PSURV code or one that does not fall within the selected Begin and End dates are now reported as Unknown.
Y: Yes, they meet the specific special population
N: No, they do not meet the specific special population
U: Unknown if they meet the specific special population
New Attribute Code for Perkins I Report
When filing the 2020-21 Fiscal Year Perkins I Special Population report, Arkansas now requires schools to track students in CTE (Career & Technical) programs as follows:
Y: Yes, they meet the specific special population
N: No, they do not meet the specific special population
U: Unknown if they meet the specific special population
The current report includes only the Y and N values. Students are recorded as Y in the Attributes window if they meet criteria for a specific special population. All other CTE students are reported as N.
To distinguish CTE students who respond to the special populations survey and don’t meet any specific special populations from those that do not respond at all and are therefore unknown, we introduced a new attribute code, PSURV (Perkins I Special Population Survey), for schools to track.
Beginning this academic/fiscal year, add a PSURV attribute for every student who responds to your Perkins I Special Populations survey. This will help your school transition to the new U (Unknown) value required for the FY21 report due next year. You can choose one of the following:
Enter a PSURV attribute for each term and set the Begin and End dates to reflect the duration of each term.
Enter one PSURV attribute when the student initially responds to the survey, then update the Begin and End dates to reflect the term of the most recent response received.
You should not enter a PSURV attribute for students who don’t respond to the survey. If a student responded to a previous survey and a PSURV attribute exists for them, simply keep their existing Begin and End dates to indicate when they did last respond. Students who respond to at least one survey and have the PSURV attribute with dates that fall within the selected academic year will be reported as Y or N based on any special populations attribute codes found for the year.
Note
Jenzabar will provide an update to the Perkins I report in our J1 2021.1 release to report the new Unknown code.

202254 | Students were enrolled in courses for different subterms: Summer Extended (SE), Summer 1 (S1), and Summer 2 (S2). When the begin date was changed for one or more students in the SE term, the Collect Report Data process for the AR Term PUB State Report only showed students in the S2 Registration term. |
204966 | Data collected with the AR STUDENT EOT IND snapshot did not produce the correct high school code for various scenarios with different CEEB codes. |

191299 | The age was not always calculated correctly In the Graduated Student reports for public and private institutions. |
194762 | AR Public Term Report needed to include spaces for fields following "Contract Salary" for summer submissions. |
195089 | In the past, all data was being reported and was then ignored by the state processing system. With the new AHEIS system and layouts, spaces are now required instead of being optional. |
195193 | The College ID value was formatted with leading zeros. |
196616 | Arkansas Independent schools were not able to see the AASIS and Contract reports in the State Report Filing Wizard. |
The Arkansas Department of Education (ADHE) has updated all of the institutional reporting file formats for reporting to the new Arkansas Higher Education Information System (AHEIS) for the fiscal year 2019 - 2020.
The software snapshot process that collects and formats the data includes new and updated columns and headers, updated export views, and some additional definitions, which require mapping. The data collection logic collects and assign values appropriately. New and modified default data is included for the Institutional Reporting Definitions, which will change the drop-down values available for these items in the Maintain Snapshot window.

Another update to address issues with summer full term and subterm courses in the AR Term Public and AR Student Independent reports will be available soon.
Issue | Description |
---|---|
171800 | When a new snapshot was created that did not retrieve data, it did not automatically appear in the left-hand side of the State Reporting Snapshot window until the Retrieve button was clicked again. |
174278 | When a test did not have a score or the test code was not mapped, the test was reported as a '9' and the test score as all zeros on the Term Public (Student) report. |
175196 | When generating the Student Independent snapshot, Total Credit hours used Term Hours Attempted, which wasn't filled in until grades were entered. Extra off-schedule rows also appeared. |
176827 | Degrees with dates prior to the snapshot begin date were included in the Independent Graduated Student report snapshot. The data collection logic was updated to only include degrees with date degree conferred between the snapshot begin and end date. |
187119 | A database error occurred when generating the AR Public Term report snapshot for summer if the Year and Term codes were the same with differing subterms. |
183986 | The Arkansas Independent Student End of Term report snapshot created extra off-schedule rows in a term for students that had not taken off-schedule courses. |
188061 | CTE Assessment Code was not included in the Perkins II report collection. |
189518 | In the Arkansas Graduated Student reports for both public and private institutions, the age did not always calculate correctly. |
Issue | Description |
---|---|
116890 | Remedial courses need to be reported with CIP Detail codes mandated by ADHE based on the Educational Success Type. The snapshot data collection checks the Educational Success Type and assigns the appropriate CIP Detail codes. |
168879 | When a student's SSN was missing or not valid, the output concatenated the institution prefix to an alternate identifier in the output file. The Maintain window did not display this alternate ID, but now it does. |
168884 | The data collection for Total Credit Hours was using the Term Hours Attempted which did not get filled in until grades were entered. Now data collection uses the Hours Enrolled for the term. |
169416 | For the Arkansas Independent Student report, the High School Credit Status default data values were missing. |
170839 | Arkansas Public and Private snapshots reporting Hispanic (Ethnicity) data had a checkbox in the State Reporting Snapshot Data tabs for Student and Instructor data which did not work for this data. The State Reporting Snapshot Data window tabs for Student and Instructor data now have a drop-down list based on the mapped Ethnicity data for that report. Missing data means that data needs to be entered in the Biograph tab | Ethnic/Race subtab for the ID number. An empty drop-down or a code without a description means that the value was not mapped in the Institutional Reporting Definitions window for the given report. This affects the following reports:
|
171438 | When mapping the codes to the External Field Codes in the Institutional Reporting Definition window, codes from the table name listed for the field that had been marked as Inactive were still displaying. Only active values display now. |
172093 | Persons with Non-residents or Unknown citizenship status should not have Race values, and Hispanics with a value of '1' in ethnic _origin should have a value of '1' in the output file, but some of the Race/Ethnic columns were not testing the citizenship status to decide whether to display data or not. |
172759 | The Unknown/Not Reported column did not always match with the Citizenship Status data. This impacted any of the reports that reports demographic data. |
172790 | Default Data was missing for the Arkansas Public Graduated Student report, Student Ethnicity field. It has been added. |
174047 | ACT scores on the AR Term Public report that had no entry were shown as empty instead of showing zero values. They now display as zero values. |
174080 | On the AR Term Public report, if the high school code was less than 6 characters, the output file did not have the 6 characters for the HS code filled out. A code less than 6 characters was prefixed with zeroes. |
174163 | On the AR Term Public report, the CEEBACT code for the high school was not being prefixed by the state code. |
174587 | An error in the calculation of the age meant that the high school GPA was not displaying for some students. |
175196 | AR Independent Student report snapshot was using the Term Hours Attempted, which did not get filled in until grades were entered, as Total Credit Hours. Data collection now uses the Hours Enrolled for the term. |
2019.3
Arkansas Financial Aid Public Report Updates
The data collection has been modified to now include Work Study funds paid to students and Tuition Exemptions generated by Student Billing received by students. Tuition Exemptions can now optional be generated by Student Billing instead of as financial aid awards, but schools may transition to this process method only at the start of a new award year to be properly counted in the reports.
Also, on the Institutional Reporting Definitions window, the Mapped Values for the Fund Code report item (AR Arkansas ADHE SIS Reports | Public Institutions | AR FAID PUB Report section) that were previously delivered with the DDU have been removed. This was done to provide institutions with more flexibility to remove codes or remap them to different values.
Issue | Description |
---|---|
148749 | ADHE Student Term Report - State Enrollment Status was not populating correctly. |
Arkansas Financial Aid Crosswalk Public
The Arkansas Financial Aid Crosswalk Public report has been enhanced to collect funds from J1 Desktop Work Study payroll earnings and Student Accounts Tuition Exemption/Waivers in the selected award year. A new Academic Year parameter has also been added to the report snapshot criteria.
Arkansas Perkins II
The Arkansas Perkins II report now collects a state-designed code for each CTE Assessment. Users will need to add the CTE Assessment Codes as defined by the ADHE (located in the 2017-2018 Student Information Systems Manual for Public Institutions – Perkins II Technical Skills Assessment Section) to the Institutional Reporting Definition window and map them to their Test Codes. Institutions will only need to enter in the CTE Assessment Codes for those assessments that they have created Test Codes for in J1 Desktop. For more information on this process, see the Arkansas Perkins II Report guide located in the State Reporting Resource Center on MyJenzabar.net.
Issue | Description |
---|---|
148060 | When running the ADHE End of Term, the existing snapshot data was deleted and all of the data was recollected. This could cause a mismatch in the sequence numbers that were reported to ADHE. |
