Reporting NSC Program Changes
Program changes are reported as they occur during the reporting period. In the event that a student changes programs (academic plan) during the term, the new program will be reported in an Enrolled status, and the effective date of the Plan change will be used for the program begin date and enrollment status values. In addition, the original program will be reported with a Withdrawn status, and an enrollment status date equal to the date of the Plan change.
Consider the following examples.
Example 54-1 Student with a Single Plan or NSC Program
A student was admitted to Plan A for Fall 2014 term on 8/1/14 and is enrolled full-time. The Fall term begins 8/30/2014. In the first NSC submission of the Fall 2014 term (consolidation date: 09/05/2014), the student is reported with the following data:
| Data | Value |
|---|---|
|
Program 1 |
Plan A CIP Code |
|
Program 1 Begin Date |
08/01/2014 |
|
Program 1 Enroll Status |
F |
|
Program 1 Enroll Status Date |
08/30/2014 |
Subsequently, the student changes from Plan A to Plan B, with an effective date of 09/07/2014. On the subsequent NSC submission (consolidation date: 09/15/2014), the following data would be reported for the student:
| Program 1 Data | Value | Program 2 Data | Value |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Program 1 |
Plan B CIP Code |
Program 2 |
Plan A CIP Code |
|
Program 1 Begin Date |
09/07/2014 |
Program 2 Begin Date |

F |
Program 2 Enroll Status |
W |
|
Program 1 Enroll Status Date |
09/07/2014 |
Program 2 Enroll Status Date |
09/07/2014 |
The withdrawn (W) program entry will continue to be reported for any subsequent submissions in the same reporting period, but will not be included for later reporting periods. In this example, the withdrawn Plan A would not be reported in the Spring 2015 term submissions.
Example 54-2 Student with Two Plans or NSC Programs
A student was admitted to Plan A and Plan B for the Fall 2014 term on 8/1/14 and is enrolled full-time. The Fall term begins 8/30/2014. In the first NSC submission of the fall 2014 term (consolidation date: 09/05/2014), the student is reported with the following data:
| Program 1 Data | Value | Program 2 Data | Value |
|---|---|---|---|

Subsequently, the student changes Plan A to Plan C, with an effective date of 09/07/2014. On the next NSC submission (consolidation date: 09/15/2014), the following data would be reported for the student:
| Program 1 Data | Value | Program 2 Data | Value | Program 3 Data | Value |
