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.

CBM00A and CBM00C Can Now Be Generated from J1 Desktop

J1 Desktop now supports the ability to generate the Continuing Education Classes and Students (CBM00A and CBM00C) reports. As with other CBM reports, report generators must have permission to the State Reporting module, Regulatory Reporting Activity Center, and Institutional Reporting function (Group Permissions window). They must also be set up with Texas CBM00A CBM00C CTC Report purpose permissions (Purpose Definition window).

Much of the setup for these new reports is the same as the setup for credit class and student reports. The following additional report values must be defined and associated with continuing education classes offered at your school:

  • Credit Type

  • Division

  • Grade Scale

  • Grade Table

  • Quarter Terms

New table values must be defined (Maintain Table Values window), mapped to reporting values (Institutional Reporting Definitions window), and associated with the appropriate continuing education classes offered at your school:

  • Course State Type (Course Type)

  • Program Type (Type Major)

  • State Classification (Texas Classification)

Generating the snapshot (State Reporting Snapshot window) and submitting the report (Regulatory Reporting window) processes work the same way as other CBM reports. Detailed information can be found in the Generating the CBM00A and CBM00C Reports guide on MyJenzabar and the J1 Desktop online help.

Enhancements
High School Org Code Added to CBM001 and CBM0E1

Students who did not attend Texas high schools must report a High School Code using codes created by the Coordinating Board, defined in Appendix M of the CBM Manuals. These special codes need to be set up using the Maintain Organization Master Organization Codes window, TXCBMHSCDE Organization Code Type field. This new TXCBMHSCDE code must be added as an organization code type to allow the software to use it to collect the High School Code data. When reports are generated, the data collection will look for the TXCBMHSCDE first. If it is not found, then it will look for the CEEB code. The TXCBMHSCDE only needs to be added to schools that do not report the CEEB code.

The two action items required in J1 Desktop for Texas schools are:

  • Add a new organization code type. Initial setup (only needed once)

  • Add the new organization type code for each high school that should not report the CEEB code.

CBM00S High School Credit Status Changes

A new code (“3”) has been added to Item 21 – High School Credit Status for students who have not yet graduated high school and are taking a developmental education course consistent with TAC §9.146 (state funded DE) or §9.125 (non-state funded DE).

New Attributes Added to CBM001 and CBM0E1 Reports

The FADB field now uses logic consistent with how the CBM001 report populates the same Transfer In or First Time in College data. THECB reconciles FADB student data against CBM report data and so this should resolve any unexpected conflicts. Plus, the previous logic may have caused issues where not all students identified to be reported were successfully calculated with FADB data as expected. This was due to the presence of multiple schools being assigned to the same Org Code.

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:

  • AR TERM PUBLIC purpose code - Student tab

However, since many schools process Federal Veteran’s Benefits as a financial aid fund, the data collection is now modified to allow for this item to also be reported from financial aid transactions.

Selective Service Registration

A new code (3 = Exempt; all exempt males under 18 or over 26) has been added for the Selective Service Registration report item. Any females, or males with no determination of selective service registration, will be reported with code 0 (not applicable/unknown).

Total Cumulative Hours Calculation Enhancement

Previously, the Total Cumulative Hours Attempted field (#102) was reported from the hours calculated by Satisfactory Progress. However, if a school calculates SAP annually instead of by term, then these hours are not available from the PF_SAP_HIST table at the time Reporting Cycle 1 is due in February. The TX FADB report has been enhanced to calculate the Total Cumulative Hours according to the same logic used by Satisfactory Progress to ensure that accepted transfer courses and repeated courses are included in this report item.

TRS Reports
ED45 - Adjustment Reason Code Added

An Adjustment Reason Code of “A" for "End/Add" has been added as default data for this report. This new code will need to be selected for the appropriate records on the Maintain Snapshot data window. Instead of submitting an ED45 to end the old position and then submitting an ED40 to start the new position, an ED45 with an Adjustment Reason Code of “A” can be reported to reflect a change in position.

You can still end the previous record with an Adjustment Reason Code of “N = End” for the ED45 and then submit an ED40 for the new position. However, this new method of using the “End/Add” code will allow you to both terminate the old position and create a new position with a single ED45 record, as long as the new position begins immediately after the old position ends. If the new position does not begin immediately the next day after the previous position ends, then an ED45 will need to be submitted with an Adjustment Reason Code of “N” to end the old position, and an ED40 for the new position can then be submitted.

RP20 - Employee Compensation Calculation Update

If employees have their compensation distributed from several GL accounts that are assigned different TRS Payroll Funding Categories, the report will now calculate and split the benefit compensation and contributions. The logic used to calculate the Community/Junior College Contribution has also been updated to match the state's reporting requirements.

RP25 - Zero Days Reason Code Added

A Zero Days Reason Code of “D” for “Delete” has been added as default data for this report. This new code will need to be selected for the appropriate records on the Maintain Snapshot data window. If a record was incorrectly reported and should be deleted, submit an RP25 record to reverse all transactions including hours and days, then select a Zero Day Reason Code of “D = Delete” for the record on the Maintain Snapshot Data window to effectively delete the transaction.

ER27 - Zero Days Reason Code Added

A Zero Days Reason Code of “D” for “Delete” has been added as default data for this report. This new code will need to be selected for the appropriate records on the Maintain Snapshot data window. If an ER record was incorrectly reported and should be deleted, submit an ER27 to reverse all transactions including hours and days, then select an Adjustment Reason Code of “D = Delete” and a Zero Day Reason Code of “D = Delete” for the record on the Maintain Snapshot Data window to effectively delete the transaction.

OK UDS Degrees Conferred Report Now Generates Record 'S'

According to state requirements, when a student is not taking courses and a degree is conferred, Record ‘S’ must be submitted. Because of this, the OK UDS Degrees Conferred report purpose code now generates a Record 'S' along with its original Record 'D'. Data is only populated for Record 'S' if a student has a degree conferred but they did not take any courses between the Report Begin and Report End Dates. If Record 'S' is not needed because no student matches the criteria, the record will still be generated but will not contain data.

The OK UDS Degrees Conferred - Record 'S' pulls several data elements typically captured in the Student Enrollment File - Record 'S' for the OK UDS Term report. If you have recently set up the data required to generate the OK UDS Term Student report, you may have minimal data entry or data verification needed to successfully generate the OK UDS Degrees Conferred - Record 'S'.

  • 61A - Writing TSI Obligation Waived or Satisfied through Exemption

  • 63 - Participation in Alternative/Non-course-based Method for Developmental Education Writing this Reporting Period

The data collection logic was modified to collect and assign any new or revised values appropriately. New and modified default data was included for the Institutional Reporting Definitions which will change the drop-down values available for these items in the Maintain Snapshot window. The Regulatory Reporting report was modified to handle the revised values. However, there was no change needed in the process that exports the file.

Caution

IMPORTANT: Report items 10, 21A, 41A, and 61A now have Rules Based Update (RBU) rules associated with them that need to be configured or changed prior to running the CBM002 report. These rules are not delivered by default, so you will need to download the database scripts from the Texas State Reporting resource page on MyJenzabar.net. Once you run the database scripts, the rules will be created and can be modified for your institution.

The following detail the newly available RBU rules for CBM002:

  • CBM002_#10 - This is used to determine all three possible values for report item 10

  • CBM002_21A, CBM002_41A, and CBM002_61A  - These determine if the student gets a value of 'G' for report items 21A, 41A, and 61A, respectively

New ESOL Features and Lower Developmental Course Limit

All schools

New features help you track credit hours for ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) courses. The screenshots below show what's available for your purposes, but the specific credit-hour limits discussed in this topic are for Texas only.

Texas state reporting schools

Texas lowered the credit-hour limit for developmental courses and changed the way developmental hours for ESOL are calculated. We added and adjusted features to help you track ESOL credit hours. This affects the Texas CBM001CBM004, and CBM00S reports.

With the new requirements, the state will fund students for:

  • Only 18 credit hours of developmental courses (down from 27)

  • An additional 9 developmental credit hours for Developmental ESOL courses

To comply with the new requirements, Texas schools need to make several changes in J1 Desktop:

  • Set new credit-hour limits for developmental and ESOL courses.

    • Registration Configuration window

  • Make sure courses are marked as developmental and ESOL as appropriate.

    • Catalog window

    • Student Course Details window

Registration Configuration Window

On the Configuration Table tab, change the Developmental Credit Hour Limit to 18.

Caution

This change has particular implications for the student population that's already over the new 18-hour limit but below the old 27-hour limit. Before you adjust the credit-hour limit to 18, be sure to complete all reporting that needs the old values. After that, you'll need to manually adjust any additional reporting on this student cohort for old reports.

Set the ESOL Credit Hour Limit to 9.

Catalog Window

On the Reporting Data tab, for each developmental and ESOL course, make sure the courses are properly flagged.

  • Developmental:  Select This is a developmental course.

  • ESOL: Select This is an ESOL course.

Caution

For a course to be counted as an ESOL Developmental course and qualify for the additional 9 ESOL credit hours, make sure both of these checkboxes are selected.

Your selection or deselection of these checkboxes in the Catalog window defaults to the courses in the Student Course Details window. However, you'll also inspect that window to make sure the selections are correct for the particular student, section, and term.

Student Course Details Window

On the Student Course Details window, Course tab, make sure the correct checkboxes are selected:

  • Developmental Course

  • ESOL Course

Caution

For the new logic to correctly identify an ESOL developmental course, make sure both of these checkboxes are selected.

(You can open the Student Course Details window by right-clicking a record on the any of the following windows and selecting Student Course Details:  Student Inquiry, Student Registration, Grade Entry, Class List Inquiry, Transfer Entry. You can also use the Student Registration window, Registration tab, Student Course Details subtab.)

We were erroneously including Open Items allocations and Tuition Exemptions which would reduce the original charge amounts.  Our calculation would then further reduce the amount based on any TX tuition exemptions we were reporting as we understood THECB to indicate that tuition and fees should be reduced by those. THECB has clarified that they want the amount of tuition and fees to not be reduced by any state tuition exemptions received. Our calculation has been corrected to now report each student's tuition and fees charged.

In the FADB report, the Three Attempted Hours field may not have populated. The FADB report now collects attempted hours for students based on the hours in student course history for each Jenzabar term that maps to the state defined term in the FADB Terms Institutional Reporting Definition. It will include any hours for courses with a transaction status of current or history and with credit types that are not excluded from Part-Time/Full-Time. We will no longer collect hours from PowerFAIDS since all students reported on the FADB report may not have a record there.

The Program Level (#22) now checks the student's degree history archive record prior to or on the census date of the earliest term a student attends in the award year selected instead of the start date. Additionally, program level will be set to blank if no degree history archive record can be found for the student before or on the census date of the earliest term a student attends in the award year selected. Previously, such records were set to 0, which indicates a student is non-degree seeking. Setting program level to blank allows schools to clearly know which records have some data issue that requires review.

A new ATHLETIC State Fund Code is now available and needs to be assigned to each financial aid fund that needs to be counted in the Athletic Scholarship (#64) field. A workaround for the First Report Cycle required schools to create their own ATHLETIC state fund code and to update the field via a script. We recommend you delete your local ATHLETIC state fund code and assign the new default ATHLETIC state fund code to your funds.
