Overview
The student end of year snapshot collects student enrollment information throughout the school year. This information includes student demographic identifiers, codes indicating the way students enroll and withdrawal from a district, and services students received. This information is used to calculate dropout, graduation, and completion rates. In addition to this, the student end of year snapshot collects high school student's post-secondary and AP course information. Additional information about the rates generated by this collection is provided in the rate and report information section below.

Cross LEA process
The Cross LEA process validates if a student previously enrolled in a district have been recovered by another Colorado School district or completed a High School Equivalency Diploma test after exiting the prior district. During this phase most SE700 level warnings are elevated to errors and require district attention.
