CPE Data Guidelines - Reconciliation
General Instructions
A reconciliation file is used to correct previously submitted data that contained errors, omissions, or updates discovered after the original submission. This process ensures CPE maintains accurate and consistent records for reporting, compliance, and decision-making.
Examples of when a reconciliation file is needed include:
- A student’s degree was reported with the wrong CIP code or award level.
- A student was omitted from the original submission and needs to be added.
- A record was submitted with an incorrect term, date, or status (e.g., enrollment status, residency).
- Duplicate records were submitted and need to be removed.
- A course delivery method or location was entered incorrectly.
Use the reconciliation file template provided by below. Once completed, upload the Excel file to KPEDS OnDemand. After uploading, do not email the file—instead, notify CPE by emailing kpedshelp@ky.gov with the filename and a brief description of the update.
For questions about the reconciliation process or whether a file is needed, contact kpedshelp@ky.gov .
