Student Enrollment Interchange - v2.1
- Ian Christopher
- Becky McKnight
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:
- Exchange school or LEA student enrollment lists.
- Exchange school enrollment accountability information.
- Exchange an individual student's enrollment history.
- Exchange students' class section enrollments.
- Exchange students' graduation plans.
Model Details
The following figure shows a logical view of the Student Enrollment Interchange schema:
Entities
The following table describes the primary entities of which the Student Enrollment Interchange is composed.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| SectionReference | This entity represents a setting in which organized instruction of course content is provided, in-person or otherwise, to one or more students for a given period of time. A course offering may be offered to more than one section. |
| StudentSchoolAssociation | This association represents the School in which a student is enrolled. The semantics of enrollment may differ slightly by state. Non-enrollment relationships between a student and an education organization may be described using the StudentEducationOrganizationAssociation. |
| StudentSectionAssociation | This association indicates the course sections to which a student is assigned. |
| GraduationPlan | This entity is a plan outlining the required credits, credits by subject,credits by course, and other criteria required for graduation. A graduation plan may be one or more standard plans defined by an education organization and/or individual plans for some or all students. |
| StudentEducationOrganizationAssociation | This association indicates any relationship between a student and an education organization other than how the state views enrollment. Enrollment relationship semantics are covered by StudentSchoolAssociation. |
