Overview

Like all standard Ed-Fi interchanges, this schema references the Ed-Fi Core XSD and can be extended using the Ed-Fi Extensions Framework. See the Ed-Fi Data Standard: Developers' Guide for more information.

Use Cases

The PostSecondary Event Interchange can be used to:

  1. Exchange information about a student’s application to a postsecondary institution.

  2. Exchange student admission decisions by a postsecondary institution.

  3. Exchange a student's selection of institution when admitted to more than one.

  4. Exchange a student's enrollment in a postsecondary institution.

  5. Exchange student applications for financial aid from a postsecondary institution.

  6. Exchange degree or certification awards earned by a student at a postsecondary institution.
