Hello! In the lead information section there is a window to choose the level of education that the lead has achieved at that point. We have some that have their GED's but that choice isn't given but would be a good option to have, at least for us.
Thank you!
Populi's Education Level options are the ones required by NCES for IPEDS reporting.
We would like this option added to the previous level of education drop-down menu under the programs on the student page.
IPEDS is not the only report that colleges have to create. Our financial aid department is working on a report that requires tracking of who came in with a GED. So, please consider encompassing data for colleges more than just what is needed for IPEDS. We do not see another place to record such information that makes any sense.
Crystal Applegarth - Since GED isn't a valid IPEDS reporting category you would need to enter High School Diploma in the built-in field in order to report correctly to IPEDS. Perhaps a custom student field would be a viable way to track which students entered with a GED. You can read about setting up custom fields here. If you need any additional help please reach out to Populi Support via a support request.
