General Details: The Program Disclosure Completion and Debt report is used to populate information needed to update your school’s program disclosure information listed on your school’s website. The default reporting period for this report ranges from 7/1/2017 to 6/30/2018. The date range can be adjusted to reflect a different reporting period if need be.

There are four drop down fields provided below the date range: Published Course Length, Week/Month, Course, and Filter By. The Published Course Length should be the amount of time that you publish to complete the program in particular, and is associated with the Weeks/Months drop down option. The Course option will allow you to run the report for a particular course. The Filter By option can be set to Start Date or Is Active On, and depending on the selection, students will be brought into the report if they had a start date within the reporting period, or if they were active at any point within the reporting period.

We recommend using the 2019 Program Disclosure Normal Time Macro to determine your applicable median debt for title IV recipients who completed in normal time. This can be found in our knowledge base article (Gainful Employment Program Disclosure, Completion and Dept Report) along with a short video providing a visual walk through of generating the report and the steps taken to use the provided macro.
