Suggested resolution

Understanding the Error: If Education Program Participation Type Code = 30 (SPED), then the student must have a SENR record where the Enrollment Exit Date is between the Graduate From Date (8/16/PSTS AY-1) and Graduate Through Date (8/15/PSTS AY-1) based on the PSTS submitted Academic Year (e.g., if the PSTS submitted AY is 2023-2024, the Enrollment Exit Date needs to be between 8/16/2022 and 8/15/2023) and either the School Completion Status = 100, 102, 120, 250, 320, 330, or 360 OR Student Exit Category = E125, E140, E300, E400, E410, or T280. In addition, the student must be older than 16 years of age as of that SENR record. Suggested Resolution: 1) Ensure the student has a SENR record where the Enrollment Exit Date falls between the Graduate From Date and Graduate Through Date (8/16 - 8/15 in the year prior to the PSTS AY). 2) If the student does have a SENR record that meets the criteria for (1), then confirm that the School Completion Status = 100, 102,120, 250, 320, 330, or 360 OR Student Exit Category = E125, E140, E300, E400, E410, or T280. If the School Completion Status = 120, 250, 320, 330, or 360, then the student must not have a subsequent SENR record greater than the Graduate Through Date. 3) Confirm that the student is at least 16 years old. Calculate age by subtracting the valid SENR record Enrollment Exit Date - latest SINF Birth Date.
