Roll over

The agency will get credit for the student passing the GED and it will count for the fiscal year that the student left the program as long as the information is captured in the FY Record for the year the student left the program.      

 

So, if student Robert Smith leaves the program on 6/30/13 and then passes his final GED test on 9/1/2013, if his 12/13 FY Record is updated after the passing scores are entered in LACES, he will get credit for passing his GED on the 12/13 NRS reports.

 

If the student passed the GED after the final FY Record creation, then if you would like we can update the 12/13 FY Record to capture the passing GED information so the student will count on the 12/13 report.  After the data freeze, the request to update the FY Record for students who have passed the GED must come from the state office rather than from the individual agencies because we don't want the data to change on your NRS reports without your knowledge.

 

If you would like, you could even schedule the update to capture the GED information to be run once a month after the data freeze so you can be sure that any student who left in 12/13 but passed the GED after the end of the fiscal year will be captured for the NRS reports.
