Grantees enter student-level data for each student supported on the grant.

The report provides a full profile of students as they enter, progress through, and exit grant-supported training programs.

Reporting good data

Grantees: Report data only on students funded with OSEP

monies Use the same ID for a student each year – they do

not create a new ID for a student each year; Keep a list of the IDs assigned to their students; and Exit students from the system when they stop funding

them. Students are considered to have completed training

when they complete all courses grantees intended to fund them for.
