For state reporting, districts are required to report all high school credit courses completed during the current school year in the PEIMS Summer submission. When students complete high school credit courses outside of the regular school day schedule or virtually/online, the completed course information is manually entered to the transcript - there is no course section in the master schedule associated to the completed course. This in turn causes an issue for state reporting as there is no means to indicate the Begin Date indicating when the student began the course, only a Date Completed is available to indicate when the student completed the course. Both Begin and End date is required for state reporting purposes. Additionally, there is not a field available to indicate the Non-Campus Based Instruction Code if the course is not a regular classroom course which is also required for state reporting purposes to properly identify the course was completed outside of the regular classroom.

Request is to add fields to HIS to allow the recording of Begin Date and a Non-Campus Based Instruction Code.
