Enrollment and Compliance Reporting and the National Student Clearinghouse

This session will provide an overview of the enrollment status reporting compliance requirements, explain how the National Student Clearinghouse receives/reviews data from schools and responds to National Student Loan Data System for Students (NSLDS) enrollment rosters. We will review the NSLDS’s enrollment statistics process and provide hints/tips to schools for improving their score calculated by the NSLDS. We will review recent enrollment reporting guidance from the Department of Education's Office of Federal Student Aid (FSA) and what it means to institutions. We will also look at compliance best practices and provide suggestions for areas of cooperation between the registrar and financial aid offices to ensure compliance with federal reporting requirements.
