Effective Dates in Student Program/Plan: always use the first day of the term

When adding a Plan Change (PLNC) row or Data Change (DATA) row in Student Program/Plan, always use the first day of the term.

Why does it matter?

• Your effective date tells PeopleSoft which term to make your change.  
• Registration, financial aid, and the National Student Clearinghouse rely on accurate dates.
• It helps other people read the page more readily.

Tip: you can find the first day of the term dates by using the look-up button next to the Admit Term field. (Just click the “x” to close the box when you are finished looking.)

 

Remember, always use the first day of the term!
