Reporting Enrollment

 

CTEDS 1A Form

 

The completed CTEDS-1A should be submitted no later than: August 1 each year.  

Overview

  • This enrollment report (CTEDS-1A) should show all adult CTE enrollments without regard to program length.  Programs exist that meet the definition of a CTE program (see below) yet are less than 100 hours in length.  Do not include introductory or avocational programs.   
  • The information recorded on CTEDS-1A must be based on an actual count of individual students.  Estimates are not acceptable.  The count may be derived from computer records, paper files or other sources of individual student data.
  • Use the definitions of terms provided in these instructions.
  • Each adult CTE student is to be counted only once.  CTEDS-1A counts are to be an unduplicated count of students served.  Students enrolled in more than one program are to be counted only once.  Report the enrollment of such students under the program that is most consistent with the student's primary occupational objective.
  • Mail a copy and retain a copy of the completed CTEDS-1A .

STEP 1:  Identify the students to be counted

All adult CTE program students, with the following exceptions, enrolled during the
July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015 reporting period are to be included.

Examples of Students to Exclude from CTEDS-1A

  • Students that were not enrolled in a prescribed program of CTE courses.
  • Students that were enrolled only in courses that were not part of a CTE program.
  • Students that were enrolled in introductory or avocational courses/programs.

STEP 2:  Eliminate duplication

            CTEDS-1A is used to report an unduplicated count of program enrollees.  Each enrollee should be counted only once.

Example:  Karl was enrolled in his school's Architectural Drafting program as well as the Carpentry program.  Karl's enrollment status is reported for one of the two programs, not both.  The program selected should be the one most consistent with his primary occupational objective.

STEP 3:  Complete and Return CTEDS-1A

            Page 1 of the CTEDS-1A form must be completed and signed.  On Page 2 of the CTEDS-1A form list all your CTE programs with adult enrollment during the July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015 period.  Use the program codes found in the Classification of Instructional Programs CIPs .  Use your own program names.  For each program show the number of males, the number of females, the total enrollment, the number of the total enrollees that meet the definition of economically disadvantaged (see above) and the number of the total enrollees that meet the definition of disability (see above.)
