To use the Postsecondary Data Partnership (PDP), staff at postsecondary institutions submit the course and cohort files. There is also an optional financial aid file. This data undergoes validations and is combined with data submitted through the Enrollment Reporting and DegreeVerify services to create the PDP dashboards and analysis-ready files. This course covers the data elements needed for the data files, file creation, submission, error resolution and the validation process.
In this course you will learn:
- How to manage data submissions
- How to identify and resolve field and structural errors
- How to access the various sites for PDP
- How to add new users and assign user roles
Please check the materials tab for additional resources. Once you have submitted your files and finalized submission, access our other PDP courses on Getting to Know the Dashboards, Using the Dashboards to Answer Research Questions and Orienting and Using the Analysis-Ready Files.
This course is intended for institutions already participating in the PDP service.
