(GN) Student Course Record

Introduction

The (GN) Student Course Record report includes all courses a student is participating in for the school year. A separate GN record is reported for every course in which a student is participating, even if multiple courses are taught by the same teacher. The only exception is preschool courses, which are reported as self-contained courses (subject code 180108). Summer courses taken after the last day of the school year are not reported.

Selection Criteria

Selection criteria determine which database records are used in the report. For the (GN) Student Course Record, student course enrollment records are selected.

School Selection

The report selects which school records to use based on the following criteria:

  • The school must be associated with a student included in the report.

Student Selection

The report selects which student records to use based on the following criteria:

  • The student must be enrolled in a course during the report start and end dates. If the student enrolled in the same course/ section multiple times during the reporting period, the most recent enrollment record for the course/section is extracted for the student.

  • The student is not excluded from state reporting (State/Province - OH > Home > State_ExcludeFromReporting or for a previous fiscal year S_OH_STU_SNAP_C.State_ExcludeFromReporting).

Report Input

For help with navigation and running the report, see How to Find and Generate a Report.
