HEI Data Submissions

There are a few noteworthy characteristics of the new system that deserve mention here. Regarding the processing of data files, the primary technical distinction between HEI and UIS lies in the use of the Internet to transmit and process data files to Regents. Another key difference between the old system and the new one is that in HEI no data file will be loaded onto the database unless it has zero errors. Also, it is important to note that when corrections are required, entire new files are to be submitted. 

These points are described in detail and placed in further context in the pages that follow. Users of this document should recognize the importance of the general information sections. In the interest of clarity, the authors have attempted to exclude general information from the individual file descriptions. Therefore, it is important for the college or university staff person responsible for processing a particular data file to read all of the general information sections, as well as the section that describes the particular data file.
