If School of Attendance NPS is populatedThen School of Attendance must equal 0000001.

Keep completion, timing, and evidence together

Program evidenceIdentify the completed activity, type, dates, employer or course connection, hours, evaluation, sponsorship, and supervision.
Grade and year gateInclude completed activities for students in grades 9–12. Report grades 9–11 summer activity in the subsequent academic year; exclude activity after graduation.
WBLR replacement fileBuild the complete school-and-year population before upload because replacement processing supersedes the prior population for that operational key.
EOY 1 reconciliationConfirm accepted records and reconcile participant evidence, course connections, internships, and certification reports.
