NSC Program Level Reporting: Academic Plan Usage

For NSC program level reporting purposes, the Consolidated Statistics process selects all of a student’s eligible academic plans. This requires that users identify academic plans for NSC program reporting purposes. See Campus Solutions Application Fundamentals: Setting Up Taxonomy.

The process reports all eligible plans, that is, Plan values where the ACAD_PLAN_TBL. SSR_NSC_INCL_PLAN value = Y, across careers, up to the current NSC maximum of six.

Consider the following examples:

For an undergraduate student with three plans, Plan A, B, and C, and with their Report as NSC Program check boxes set to Y, N, and Y, respectively, the process reports the student with a Program Indicator value = Y. At the program level, the process will report Plan A (and associated data) as NSC Program 1 and Plan C for NSC Program 2.

For a non-degree student, that is, a student who does not have any plans set for NSC, the process reports the student with a Program Indicator value = N. This means no program data is reported.

In a case where a student has multiple careers, such as Law and Graduate Business, the process will report all eligible plans for each career. If the student had one Law Plan (LAWPLANA) and 2 Business Plans (MBAPLANA, MBAPLANB) and all 3 plans were identified as NSC Programs, the process reports the student with a Program Indicator value = Y. At the program level, LAWPLANA (and associated data) is reported for NSC Program 1, MBAPLANA for NSC Program 2, and MBAPLANB for NSC Program 3.
