Suggested resolution
Read the complete validation
CALPADS rule: Enrollment Start Date must be on or after the official Open Date of the School of Attendance.
Severity: Fatal Type: Input Validation
Fields validated:
- 1.05 School of Attendance
- 1.22 Enrollment Start Date
This time, School Open Date really is an organizational date. Unlike SENR0178, which compares a student’s enrollment segments, SENR0182 compares field 1.22 with the date the submitted school/CDS organization officially opened.
Choose the correction
| What you find | Correct response | Caution |
|---|---|---|
| Enrollment Start Date is wrong | Correct field 1.22 to the student’s supported first enrollment date. | Start Date is part of the SENR operational key; changing it requires deleting the old-key record and adding the corrected record when an ODS record already exists. |
| School of Attendance is wrong | Use the CDS code of the school the student actually attended on that date. | Do not use a successor school’s CDS code for enrollment that occurred under a predecessor organization. |
| CDE School Directory Open Date appears wrong | Verify organizational history and pursue correction through the appropriate official directory process. | Do not change a factual student date merely to compensate for a directory discrepancy. |
| School reorganized, converted, merged, or received a new CDS code | Determine which organization/CDS code was active on the student’s Enrollment Start Date. | A familiar school name does not prove the same CDS organization existed historically. |

| July 1, 2024 | July 1, 2024 | Valid; the dates may be equal. |
| July 1, 2024 | August 12, 2023 | Invalid for that school/CDS organization; verify both fields and organizational history. |
What commonly produces SENR0182
- A year was mistyped in Enrollment Start Date.
- The extract used the student’s original district-entry date instead of the start date at this school.
- A successor, reorganized, converted, or newly coded school was assigned to an older enrollment.
- A bulk migration applied the current school CDS code to historical records.
- The official directory Open Date or local organizational crosswalk requires review.
Recommended correction path
Preserve the rejected row
Capture submission ID, SSID, School of Attendance, and field 1.22.
Verify the student date
Use attendance, enrollment, and cumulative-file records to establish the first date at that school.
Verify the school CDS code
Confirm which school organization the student attended on that historical date.
Check the official Open Date
Look up the school in the California School Directory and review organizational history.
Identify the incorrect value
Correct the student date, school code, historical crosswalk, or official directory issue supported by evidence.
Use the correct transaction method
If an existing Start Date changes, delete the old operational key and add the complete corrected record.
Correct the owning system
Repair the SIS value, conversion table, or extract mapping.
Submit and verify
Confirm SENR0182 clears and CALPADS displays the intended school/date history.
Review similar records
Find other historical enrollments using the same school code before its Open Date.
Before closing the issue
- Confirm Enrollment Start Date is on or after the official school Open Date.
- Verify the CDS code represents the organization active on that date.
- Ensure any Start Date correction used the proper operational-key sequence.
- Confirm the SIS and next extract reproduce the accepted result.
