The next area is the selection of the file. Please confirm that your Institution Name is correctly displayed. Select the correct file and year/term combination from the drop down list. Use “choose file” to find the location of the file on your machine to upload.
I will walk through these steps in the next couple slides.

25. Download the Templates
College Credit Plus
Download the Templates
Separate files must be prepared for the Student Data and Alternative Funding Information. The file Templates are available for download so you can see the variable names in the order that the need to be submitted. You can use these templates as your header row and fill in your data starting in row 2. Files must be csv format, without quotes around the data values for any fields, including text fields. Commas should not be included in the content of any text field.
You can see all of the variables that are needed in each file – the Student Data file and the Alternative Funding file. If the data is optional and you do not have the information, leave the cell blank. For example, the ACT high school code will not be available for middle schools, so this field will be left blank but the header row still needs to be included in the final file.
If you do not have separately negotiated agreements with Districts/LEAs/Non-public schools for an alternative credit hour amount and are expecting to be paid the default CCP program amount as specified in Ohio Revised Code, the alternative funding file does not need to be submitted.

26. Fill and Save the Templates

Fill and Save the Templates
Keep the header row and file format as a csv and make sure the data formats match the required type as specified in the layout document.

Year-Long Courses
Submit with the year/term that the course ENDS
For example, a course that starts in August and ends in May should be submitted after the 15th day of the Autumn Term but with the year/term of Spring 2017.
The course start and end dates within the file should reflect that actual dates
Only report once! Do not split the course dates by term and report in both terms. This would result in getting funded for 6 credit hours for a 3 credit hour class, for example.

40. Using the Key Fields and Delete Switch
College Credit Plus
Using the Key Fields and Delete Switch
The columns at the start of each data field list that are marked with “key” in the name are critical to how these data files will be processed when submitted.
In combination with the Delete Switch, the Keys determine if a data row is a new student enrollment/funding detail row, a row to be updated, or a row to be deleted.

41. Using the Key Fields and Delete Switch
College Credit Plus
Using the Key Fields and Delete Switch
Adding a new row -
Key values on that row do not match the Key values for any existing, previously submitted row of the same type and the Delete Switch is N
Updating a row -
Key values on that row do have a match to the Key Values for an existing, previously submitted row of the same file type and the Delete Switch is N, then the row will be updated to match the non-key values on the newly submitted row

42. Using the Key Fields and Delete Switch
College Credit Plus
Using the Key Fields and Delete Switch
Deleting a row -
Key values on that row do match the Key values for any existing, previously submitted row of the same type and the Delete Switch is Y, then the record will be deleted and will no longer be included in any funding calculation.

College Credit Plus
Using the Key Fields and Delete Switch
Matching Rows to Update or Delete
Pay special attention to ‘section id’ field
If it’s submitted originally as 03 then resubmitted to delete or update as 3, the system sees that as a new entry and the row will be ADDED

File Processing
Files will be processed in the order that they are submitted.
Each submission of a data set does not have to include all enrollments/funding details; the files will be combined based on their content.
Best Practice – only update the rows that need changes. DO NOT re-submit the entire student data file. This re-opens the 45-day window for ODDEX.
If only one student needs to be updated or removed from the previously reported enrollment for a course, then a file may be submitted with only that single student (and header row) included.
