Suggested resolution
Read the complete validation
CALPADS rule: If Student Met All UC/CSU Requirements Indicator is populated, Student School Completion Status must equal 100, 106, or 108.
Version 18 context: Completion statuses 106 and 108 are retired CAHSEE-era graduate codes. A current standard-diploma graduate ordinarily uses 100.
Severity: Fatal Type: Input Validation
Fields validated:
- 1.27 Student School Completion Status
- 1.29 Student Met All UC/CSU Requirements Indicator
N is still a populated value. It means an eligible graduate was reviewed and did not meet the applicable minimum requirements. It does not mean “not yet reviewed,” “not graduating,” “not college bound,” or “unknown.” For a student who is not an eligible graduate, field 1.29 should be blank.
What field 1.29 actually reports
| Question | What it establishes | What it does not establish |
|---|---|---|
| Did the student earn a standard diploma? | Completion Status 100 when supported by the graduation record. | Automatic completion of minimum UC/CSU requirements. |
| Did the graduate meet the applicable UC or CSU minimum requirements? | The LEA’s supported Y/N determination after transcript review. | Guaranteed admission to a university, campus, or major. |
| Did the student complete A–G coursework? | A major component of the review: approved courses, subject pattern, grades, and permitted alternatives. | Permission to populate field 1.29 before an eligible graduation outcome exists. |
| Was the student admitted to a college? | A decision made by the college or university. | A substitute for the CALPADS graduate-status and transcript determination. |
Choose the correction
| What the evidence shows | Field 1.27 | Field 1.29 |
|---|---|---|
| Student earned a current standard high school diploma | 100 | Y or N after the authorized final review |
Historical student legitimately used CAHSEE-era graduate status 106 or 108 | Retain the supported historical status | Retain the documented Y/N determination |
| Student received a non-diploma completion credential | Use the exact factual completion status | Blank |
| Student transferred, withdrew, remains enrolled, or has not yet graduated | Use the factual status/outcome | Blank |
| Completion Status was accidentally omitted or miscoded | Correct it only if the diploma was actually awarded | Preserve Y/N only when the final graduate review supports it |
What commonly produces SENR0470
- The SIS defaulted every senior or Grade 12 student to
N. - A counseling-system college-readiness field was mapped to field 1.29 before graduation.
- The diploma was awarded, but Completion Status was omitted or miscoded.
- The student earned a certificate or equivalency credential rather than a standard diploma.
- An indicator from a prior or anticipated graduation event was carried onto the wrong enrollment segment.
- A historical CAHSEE-era graduate record was converted to a current non-graduate status without reconciling connected fields.
