SDLA Flowchart: validate the reporting chain from the top

1 - Local enrollment and instructional realityConfirm the student, school, dates, schedule, course, and section.
2 - SENR enrollment ownershipThe accepted enrollment must support the SSID, school, and applicable dates.

4 - SCSE student-to-section relationshipConnect the SSID to the intended section with matching identifiers.
5 - Fall 2 reports and certificationReconcile schedules, course counts, assignments, and services.

Recommended correction path

  1. 1

    Capture the incomplete relationship

    Record every available student, school, course, section, year, and term value.

  2. 2

    Clear SENR ownership

    Confirm accepted enrollment for the SSID, school, and applicable dates.

  3. 3

    Clear the CRSE prerequisite

    Confirm the intended section under the same school, year, local course, section, and term.

  4. 4

    Find the missing source value

    Trace the blank to registration, scheduling, the course catalog, or export mapping.

  5. 5

    Correct the authoritative source

    Repair the SIS value, school-year configuration, schedule, crosswalk, or extract rule rather than hand-editing only one upload row.

  6. 6

    Reprocess and reconcile

    Confirm SCSE acceptance and inspect other students produced by the same configuration.
