What this error actually means
CALPADS recognizes the code, distinguishing this from GERR0002, but the local mapping uses it before its start or after retirement.
Valid versus invalid student-section records
| Pattern | SCSE condition | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| Valid pattern | Code active in Academic Year | The SCSE value and prerequisite relationships agree. |
| Invalid pattern | Retired code in later year | CALPADS rejects the structure, identity, organization, or relationship. |
| Diagnostic caution | Verify code and year; update reusable crosswalk. | Correct the first unsupported source fact. |

The Fall 2 dependency chain
Student identity and SENR ownership → local schedule → SDEM/SASS educator → CRSE section → SCSE membership → Reports 3.6 and 3.7
Registration and enrollment staff own SENR facts; counseling/scheduling staff own the student’s actual schedule; curriculum and master-schedule staff own course/section identifiers; SIS/CALPADS staff preserve those relationships in the extract.
Recommended correction path
- 1
Preserve the rejected SCSE row
Capture Reporting LEA, school, year, masked SSID, Local Course ID, Course Section ID, term, birth date, and the submission detail.
- 2
Confirm identity and enrollment
Match the student to the current SSID and verify qualifying SENR ownership at the applicable school and dates.
- 3
Confirm the CRSE prerequisite
Locate the accepted section with matching school, year, term, Local Course ID, and Course Section ID.
- 4
Compare the actual local schedule
Determine whether the student truly belongs in this section. Check drops, transfers, concurrent enrollment, rollover schedules, and duplicate joins.
- 5
Correct the owning source
Repair the supported enrollment, schedule, identifier, school/year configuration, crosswalk, or Version 18 export behavior. Avoid a one-off file edit.
- 6
Resubmit and reconcile
Confirm GERR0007 clears, review Report 3.6 Course Section Enrollment by Content Area and Report 3.7 Course Section Enrollment details, and audit other students generated by the same configuration.
