Severity: Fatal   Type: Certification Data Discrepancy

LEAs may not use SEID equal to 9999999999 for non-college level courses

Records or fields compared

  • 9.07 - CRS-State Course Code
  • 9.16 - SEID
  • 9.19 - Course Section Instructional Level Code

The individual record may already have passed transactional validation. A non-college-level course uses placeholder SEID 9999999999. Certification evaluates the assembled snapshot and its cross-record relationships.

What the certification snapshot is testing

QuestionMeaningOperational response
What passed?The source record was structurally acceptable.Do not assume acceptance proves that all companion records exist.
What was expected?A non-college-level course uses placeholder SEID 9999999999.Compare the complete Fall 2 snapshot, not only the last uploaded file.
Who owns the evidence?Master schedule, instructor assignment and course-level codingReconcile CALPADS with the authoritative source before editing.
What action is appropriate?Report the actual SEID or correct the course's supported college-level codingAdd, correct, close, or remove only records supported by evidence.

3 โ€” VerificationNever use the placeholder merely because the instructor is unknown

Recommended correction path

  1. 1

    Preserve the certification evidence

    Capture the revision, school, reporting year, affected identifiers, and current detail-report rows.

  2. 2

    Verify the expected population

    Determine whether the apparent gap is real, a legitimate zero, an exemption, or an incorrect source record.

  3. 3

    Trace the complete relationship

    Compare the shared identifiers, effective dates, Census Day status, and related file families.

  4. 4

    Return to the authoritative source

    Use master schedule, instructor assignment and course-level coding; protect staff and student information while reconciling.

  5. 5

    Apply the supported correction

    Report the actual SEID or correct the course's supported college-level coding. Repair repeatable SIS, HR, SEDS, or scheduling mappings when applicable.

  6. 6

    Repost, regenerate, and compare

    Wait for processing, regenerate the certification snapshot, and confirm both the error and downstream counts are corrected.

Retained official CALPADS guidance

Understanding the Error: For CRSE/C records, SEID = 9999999999 should only be used for college level courses (Course Section Instructional Level Code = 23- College Credit Only or 24-Dual Credit/State Course Code = 9020, 9082, 9096, 9120, 9154, 9200 ,9227, 9273, 9303, 9358). Suggested Resolution: If SEID, Course Section Instructional Level Code, or State Course Code is incorrectly populated, update it. CDD will only trigger where the CRSE/C Academic Year is the same as the current Academic Year.
