Additional Report Clarifications

The definition of household status has been clarified to include three categories: Married (M), Not Married and Dependent on Parent(s) (D), or Not Married and Independent (I). An unmarried participant who is supported by a person(s) other than a parent(s) is considered not married and independent.

A new table for tracking participant persistence and graduation that allows grantees to track each academic term in which a participant received CCAMPIS services, the participant’s demographics, and the degree or certificate the participant may earn while receiving CCAMPIS services. The table will be easier to complete as it more closely mirrors the way grantees report participants internally.
