Cohorts

For Entered Postsecondary Education or Training the NRS Implementation Guidelines indicate that the applicable population is:  

 

Applicable Population: All learners who passed the GED tests or earned a secondary credential while enrolled in adult education, or have a secondary credential at entry, or  are enrolled in a class specifically designed for transitioning to postsecondary educationwho exit during the program year.  A transition class is a class that has a specific purpose to prepare students for entry into postsecondary education, training or an apprenticeship program.

 

So, there are 3 components to the Entered Postsecondary Education or Training cohort that will include a  student in the cohort (from the LACES 2012.2.0 Release Notes): 

 

FIRST COMPONENT - Students who earn a secondary credential while enrolled.

Students who earn a GED, high school diploma or secondary diploma/credential, or EDP high school diploma will be included in the cohort automatically when the student is left. 

 

Since there is no indication in LACES (either in the assessments folder or the Diploma Info folder) that Andrew Guilez obtained a GED or High School Diploma while enrolled in your program, he is not eligible based on this criteria.

 

SECOND COMPONENT - Students who have a secondary credential/diploma at the time of entry.

Students whose Highest Level of Education Completed at Entry selection is one of the following will be automatically included in the cohort when the student is left if the student meets the NRS requirements to be fundable.  

• High School Diploma
• Secondary Credential
• GED
• Foreign Secondary Credential/Diploma
• Some college - no degree
• College or Professional Degree

Since Andrew Guilez is listed as 11th Grade-no diploma, is is also not eligible based on this criteria.

 

THIRD COMPONENT - Students who are enrolled in at least one class, group, or pair with the program Transition.  Transition classes are for students who are transitioning to postsecondary education.    

Since he was not enrolled in a class with the Program type 'Transition,' this criteria for inclusion also isn't applicable for him.

If he was in a class with your agency that was designed to help him transition to college, then you can create a class with the type Transition and enroll him in that and then complete him from the class.
