NRS Table 6

NRS Table 6:  Participant Status and Program Enrollment

Table 6 is fiscal year based. To count on Table 6, students must have at least one Period of Participation (PoP) in the fiscal year, and be 16 years of age or older at the time of intake (note that some states have higher age requirements for admission).  The TOTAL rows for the  Employment and Highest Degree Level of School Completed sections on Table 6 should match the totals for Tables 1, 2, 3, and 4. 

TIP:  If the employment and education totals on Table 6 do not match the totals on Tables 1, 2, 3, and 4, run the Student Diagnostic search to find students who are missing employment or education information in their LACES records.
