If you are not familiar with this process, the Data Collection
Overview and other helpful information for the STARR collection
are available on our website:

Date of Birth (DOB) issues (records exist with a DOB prior
to 1930 and after 2000)
Review records PRIOR to uploading to the MSDS.
If records exist (with a DOB before 1930 or after 2000), confirm
that is the correct DOB with the student’s documentation.
If you find an existing UIC for the student from your local
student information system, student’s transcript or by searching
on the student’s name in the MSDS, use that UIC.
If you do not find an existing UIC and cannot confirm the
student’s correct DOB, do not upload the student’s record with
an erroneous DOB to the MSDS, a new UIC will be generated.
Please remember: Longitudinal tracking hinges on the
UIC. If a new UIC is generated due to an erroneous DOB,
the link to K-12 or other postsecondary information is lost.

2012 Key Findings
Incomplete historical reporting of transcripts
CEPI found that all institutions reported transcripts back to the
2008-2009 school year, accomodates current postsecondary
reports
CEPI also found some transcript history prior to the 1st STARR
collection window, but only goes back for a short period
Ambiguity in SessionDesignator (Academic Year) and
SessionName (Term) Variables
We would want to see the 2010 SessionDesignator for a term
occurring between September 2010 and December 2010, as that
term is part of the 2010-2011 Academic Year.

2012 Key Findings
Non-Standardization of the reporting for CIP Codes
Proper Course CIP Code for Forest Sciences and Biology 03.0502
Conditionally required data elements did not include all
variables required when submitted
When reporting the Degree CIP data element, also populate the
Award Description, Award Level, and Award Date data elements

Validating STARR Files
Schema defined elements of decimal cannot be blank if they
are required
Optional elements that have no value should not be reported
in the schema
XML Validation Guide posted on our website
CSV to XML Conversion Tool from Lake Michigan College
posted on our website
We recommend the XML file size not to exceed 2GB
However it is easiest for your software to break it up into smaller sizes
The tool allows you to specify the maximum number or records per file,
and will create as many files as necessary to include all the data

2013 Process
When – during 2013 STARR upload and after
Who – STARR contact, STARR authorized users
How – e-mail, phone calls if needed
Data Pull and Data Corrections
Plan to have 4 data pulls during the collection window
The sooner files are uploaded the better

will continue their partnership with
Parchment for sending/receiving transcripts
STARR Collection will occur in the Michigan
Student Data System (MSDS).
Benefits of moving STARR collection to MSDS:
Same look and feel as the IHE Request for UIC
Collection
One contact for customer support
Quicker response for data quality
Field level validation, no longer just file level
Streamlined XML schema
Feedback to user (reports, etc.)
