The Clearinghouse encourages schools to send cumulative data for students in every file they submit. Our robust de-duping processes will identify coursework previously submitted.
Including the student’s entire history in every submission ensures that complete records have been sent. While you have the option to send data for only one period, we have found extracts can be tricky if a student stops out and then re-admits, or if there were grade changes. The Clearinghouse will create the files for the two-year schools accordingly.
