If you are not familiar with this process, the Data Collection Overview and other helpful information for the STARR collection are available on our website: https://www.michigan.gov/cepi/0,4546,7-113-57943---,00.html

7

Date of Birth (DOB) issues (records exist with a DOB prior to 1930 and after 2000)

Review records PRIOR to uploading to the MSDS.

If records exist (with a DOB before 1930 or after 2000), confirm that is the correct DOB with the student’s documentation.

If you find an existing UIC for the student from your local student information system, student’s transcript or by searching on the student’s name in the MSDS, use that UIC.

If you do not find an existing UIC and cannot confirm the student’s correct DOB, do not upload the student’s record with an erroneous DOB to the MSDS, a new UIC will be generated.

Please remember: Longitudinal tracking hinges on the UIC. If a new UIC is generated due to an erroneous DOB, the link to K-12 or other postsecondary information is lost.

2012 Key Findings

Incomplete historical reporting of transcripts CEPI found that all institutions reported transcripts back to

the 2008-2009 school year, accomodates current postsecondary reports

CEPI also found some transcript history prior to the 1st STARR collection window, but only goes back for a short period

Ambiguity in SessionDesignator (Academic Year) and SessionName (Term) Variables

We would want to see the 2010 SessionDesignator for a term occurring between September 2010 and December 2010, as that term is part of the 2010-2011 Academic Year.

2012 Key Findings

Non-Standardization of the reporting for CIP Codes Proper Course CIP Code for Forest Sciences and Biology

03.0502

Conditionally required data elements did not include all variables required when submitted

When reporting the Degree CIP data element, also populate the Award Description, Award Level, and Award Date data elements

Validating STARR Files

Schema defined elements of decimal cannot be blank if they are required

Optional elements that have no value should not be reported in the schema

XML Validation Guide posted on our website

CSV to XML Conversion Tool from Lake Michigan College posted on our website

We recommend the XML file size not to exceed 2GB

However it is easiest for your software to break it up into smaller sizes

The tool allows you to specify the maximum number or records per file, and will create as many files as necessary to include all the data

2013 Process

When – during 2013 STARR upload and after

Who – STARR contact, STARR authorized users

How – e-mail, phone calls if needed

Data Pull and Data Corrections

Plan to have 4 data pulls during the collection window

The sooner files are uploaded the better
