Section IV: Educational Status of EOC Participants (at end of reporting period or for the following fall)
In this section all the standard objectives are listed for your EOC project. The percentage for each of
these standard objectives will be pre-populated in the online Web application for all grantees. The prepopulated numbers are based on the information provided on the Program Profile sheet submitted with
your approved FY 2016 application. No changes may be made to these percentages on this form.
However, if any of the pre-populated numbers reflects a data entry error, you must contact your
assigned program specialist to resolve the problem. So as to allow the Department to report
aggregated data gathered in a uniform manner, all EOC grantees must report outcomes based on the
standard objectives identified in the FY 2016 application.
To better facilitate data collection, please enter a positive numeric value in each field. For fields not
applicable to your project, please enter zero (0). If more than one response is possible for a given
participant, choose the most recent status. Also, please refer to the “Definitions that Apply” section in
the APR instructions for additional information on commonly used terms, e.g., secondary school
diploma, and alternative education program, etc., that are new in this APR.

year were not already enrolled in a postsecondary education program and who: (1) were high

alternative programs or who have a secondary diploma or equivalent (Section III, A1, A3, A4, A6, and B2)
The numerator is the number of participants who applied for admission to a postsecondary education
program (Section IV, C1).
D. OBJECTIVE: Postsecondary Education Enrollment
____% of participants who graduate from secondary school and are not already enrolled in a
postsecondary education program will enroll in a postsecondary education program

NUMBER

Please note that the option selected in the 2016-17 APR for the postsecondary education enrollment
objective will be pre-populated. As noted in the APR instructions for the 2016-17 APR, the
interpretation selected cannot be changed for the remainder of the current grant cycle to maintain
consistent PE calculations across all PE assessment years.
□

Option 1: The denominator for this objective would include participants that received a
secondary school diploma or its equivalent during the reporting year (Section IV, A1). The
8

or
□

numerator is the number of participants served who received a secondary school diploma or
equivalent during the reporting year and enrolled in a postsecondary education program
(Section IV, D1).
Option 2: The denominator for this objective would include participants that received a
secondary school diploma or its equivalent during the reporting year (Section IV, A1) and those
participants who had a secondary school diploma or credential at the time of first service
(Section III, A3, A4, and A6 minus deceased reported in Section IV, D4) during the reporting year.
The numerator is the number of participants served who received a secondary school diploma
or equivalent during the reporting year and enrolled in a postsecondary education program
(Section IV, D1) and the number of participants who already had a secondary school diploma or
credential at the time of first service and enrolled in a postsecondary education program
(Section IV, D2).
Note: Because Section IV, A5 identified deceased participants, IV, A1 did not include such
students; the calculation for Option 1 will therefore not involve subtracting deceased
participants from the denominator. On the other hand, Section IIIA did not identify deceased
students; therefore, in the calculation for Option 2, deceased students in IV, D4 will be
subtracted from the denominator.
