digit OPEID ONLY IF the student is actually attending both locations

Administrator, can “move” a student to the roster of the location where s/he attends• Helpful for students misreported at a location• Helpful for transfers between locations

“Move To” Location Functionality
• You can move a student:• In a batch file
• Field is “Move to School Branch Code”• On NSLDSFAP website
• Field on Enrollment Maintenance is “Loc” (Location)
20
“Move To” Location Functionality
• When “Move To” is used, NSLDS performs the action of stopping enrollment at one location and beginning it at another
• NSLDS will use the status of “Moved” for the old locations and it will not have to be reported but once
