CALPADS rule: Submitted Graduate Record may not have a subsequent enrollment in CALPADS

Fields involved:

  • 1.22 - Enrollment Start Date
  • 1.23 - Enrollment Status Code
  • 1.25 - Enrollment Exit Date
  • 1.27 - Student School Completion Status Code

How this record moves through CALPADS

1. Authoritative SISMaintain actual enrollment history.
2. SENR postsEstablish SSID-connected enrollment.
3. SINF followsSupply overlapping demographics.
4. SPRG and SELA followReport programs and English-language status.

Upload reminder: A file can upload successfully while individual records reject. Correct the source or extract when the next file would reproduce the error.

Choose the diagnostic pathway

  • Enrollment exit and completion
    • Is the enrollment still open?
    • When and why did the student leave?
    • Did the student complete school?
    • Was another enrollment expected?
    • Do Exit Reason and Completion Status describe the same event?
  • SSID and student identity
    • Does the student have the correct SSID?
    • Does the local record point to a retired or replaced SSID?
    • Are staff reviewing the intended student before changing enrollment history?
  • LEA, school, and enrollment ownership
    • Which LEA and school own the enrollment?
    • Is the school authorized under the Reporting LEA?
    • Is the enrollment primary, secondary, short-term, or non-ADA?
  • Enrollment dates and chronology
    • When did the student actually begin attending?
    • Is the enrollment still open, or should it have an exit?
    • Does another enrollment overlap or continue this record?
    • Do the SIS and CALPADS histories tell the same story?
  • E150 and continuing enrollment
    • Was E150 used for a midyear update rather than a departure?
    • Was the continuing enrollment created for the next calendar day?
    • Did grade, transfer status, or geographic residence actually change?
  • SIS, extract, and CALPADS reconciliation
    • Is the authoritative SIS record correct?
    • Did the extract transform or omit a value?
    • Does CALPADS contain an older or conflicting enrollment?
    • Will the next extract reproduce the error?
  • Downstream student-record effects
    • Does SINF overlap the qualifying enrollment?
    • Could SPRG or SELA depend on these dates?
    • Could the change affect attendance, assessment, course, cohort, dropout, or special-education reporting?

Primary participants for this error

  • CALPADS coordinator
  • Registrar or enrollment staff
  • Counselor or student-records staff
  • Graduation or cohort-data staff
  • SIS system owner

Compare three versions of the record

  • What actually occurred.
  • What the authoritative SIS contains.
  • What the SENR file and CALPADS ODS contain.

The correction belongs where those versions first diverge.

Recommended correction path

  1. Identify the exact enrollment

    Match SSID, Reporting LEA, School of Attendance, start date, enrollment status, grade, and any exit information.

  2. Reconstruct what occurred

    Use enrollment, attendance, transfer, withdrawal, or completion documentation rather than inferring the answer from the validation.

  3. Compare SIS, extract, and ODS

    Locate the first point where the authoritative history and transmitted or stored values diverge.

  4. Confirm the complete rule

    Review every validated field, current code combinations, and any connected enrollment records.

  5. Correct the owning system

    Use the authorized local process and avoid a CALPADS-only edit that the next extract will overwrite.

  6. Verify acceptance and downstream meaning

    Confirm the complete enrollment history and review SINF, SPRG, SELA, attendance, assessment, cohort, and special-education effects as applicable.

Official CALPADS guidance

Understanding the Error: The system is trying to ensure that if a graduate record is submitted (SENR record where completion status code = 100), there is no subsequent primary enrollment (enrollment status <> 20 (secondary)) record in CALPADS (excludes exit reason code = N470). Things to check in the submission: 1) Verify correct Student School Completion Status is populated in the file. 2) If reporting a graduate record, verify that no subsequent primary enrollment record exists for the student. Suggested Resolution: 1) Correct Student School Completion Status if the value is incorrect and re-submit. May need to update the Local SIS. OR 2) If subsequent enrollment is a primary enrollment in CALPADS within the same LEA, delete enrollment or if in another LEA, contact other LEA to delete enrollment.

Before closing the issue

  • Confirm SENR0585 no longer appears for the intended enrollment.
  • Verify the complete accepted enrollment history in CALPADS.
  • Document source evidence, owner, correction location, and broader extract impact.
  • Review downstream student records and reports affected by the correction.

What SENR does—and does not do

SENR answers enrollment and SSID-context questions such as:

  • Does this student have an SSID?
  • Which LEA and school own this enrollment record?
  • When did the enrollment begin?
  • Is it primary, secondary, or short-term?
  • What grade level applies to this enrollment?
  • Is the enrollment still open?
  • If it ended, when and why did the student leave?
  • Did the student complete school?
  • Was the student transferred, retained, promoted, or updated through an E150 enrollment transition?
  • What is the student’s district of geographic residence?
