Student Enrollment Interchange - v2.1

Student Enrollment Interchange - v2.1

The Student Enrollment interchange describes student enrollments in schools and in sections.

Like all standard Ed-Fi interchanges, this schema references the Ed-Fi Core XSD and can be extended using the Ed-Fi Extensions Framework. See the XML Design & Implementation Guidelines for more information.

Use Cases

The Student Enrollment Interchange can be used to:

  1. Exchange school or LEA student enrollment lists.

  2. Exchange school enrollment accountability information.

  3. Exchange an individual student's enrollment history.

  4. Exchange students' class section enrollments.

  5. Exchange students' graduation plans.
