School Courses for the Exchange of Data Code Update

CEPI will update the MSDS TSDL collections to use SCED Version 6.0 beginning with the 2019-20 school year. Please note, you will still be able to use SCED codes from version 1.0 as well as the SCED codes from version 6.0 for the 2019-20 school year. Beginning in the 2020-21 school year, you will not be able to submit SCED Version 1.0.

The two characteristics in the General TSDL and Migrant TSDL collections that make up the SCED code are 1) Subject Area Code and 2) Course Identifier Code. See the NCES SCED Version 6.0 resource for more information and a list of all of the codes used in Version 6.0.
