Track Alumni Data
After you send your school's alumni data to the NSC, the NSC returns alumni enrollment data to Naviance three times a year; in the fall, spring, and summer. You can review the alumni data student-by-student from the Post Grad section of the student folder or for class years using Reports 2.0 and Naviance Insights. You can also review the master data file returned from the NSC.
The NSC may not report enrollment data for an alumni student if:
- The student information your high school provided did not match the student information provided by the postsecondary institution.
- The postsecondary institution did not provide data.
- A FERPA block is in place for the education record.
- The student did not enroll in a postsecondary institution.
The NSC uses these abbreviations in the data:
| Abbreviation | Definition |
|---|---|
| F | Full time |
| H | Half time |
| L | Less than half-time |
| W | Withdrawn |
| A | Leave of Absence |
| Q | Three-quarter time |
| D | Deceased |
