CALPADS accepts accurate dates—not dispatches from the future. A future RFEP meeting, anticipated Initial ELPAC result, or planned first day is not yet an ELAS event.

Recommended correction path

  1. 1

    Rule out a typing transformation

    Check wrong year, transposed digits, month/day conversion, or an SIS default date.

  2. 2

    Name the event

    Identify the initial determination, reclassification, ADEL transition, or historical correction the date is intended to represent.

  3. 3

    Verify it occurred

    Use the assessment/status documentation and approval date—not a scheduled future action.

  4. 4

    Correct or defer

    Fix an inaccurate date, or remove the not-yet-effective transaction and monitor it for later submission.

  5. 5

    Repair workflow

    Prevent future-dated planned actions from entering current SELA extracts.
