PEIMS Coding With PEIMS LINKS at the bottom of this page

Quick Referance

Students can only be coded four ways under Career and Technology PEIMS guidelines. The coding will be either a 0,1,2 or 3. The rules are as follows:

PEIMS "0"-Indicates that the student is not currently enrolled in a Career and Technology course.

PEIMS "1"- Indicates that the student is enrolled in a Career and Technology course, but does not have a 4 year plan of study outlining a coherent sequence of courses in Career and Technology.

PEIMS "2"- Indicates that the student has a 4-year plan of study to take 2 or more Care4er and Technology courses for 3 or more credits in a program that is not a part of an approved Tech Prep program.

PEIMS "3"-Indicates that the student has a 4-year plan of study to take 2 or more Career and Technology courses for 3 or more credits in a program that is a part of an approved Tech Prep program.

More Detailed Information

Students with NO CATE coherent sequence in the 4-year plan:

1. Code 0 is used for each Snap Shot date in which the student is not enrolled in a CATE course;

2. Code 1 is used for each Snap Shot date in which the student is enrolled in a CATE course.

Students WITH CATE coherent sequence in the 4-year plan:

1. Code 0 is used for the Snap Shot date UNTIL the student has enrolled in or completed the first CATE course;

2. Code 2 is used for every Snap Shot date AFTER the student has enrolled in or completed the first CATE course if the coherent sequence is not part of a Tech-Prep 6-year plan (student does not need to be in a CATE class at the time of the Snap Shot);

3. Code 3 is used for every Snap Shot date AFTER the student has enrolled in or completed the first CATE course if the coherent sequence is part of a Tech-Prep 6-year plan (student does not need to be in a CATE class at the time of the Snap Shot);

4. Code 1 is never used for these students.

Because statewide-articulated courses may be used as electives or part of CATE coherent sequences, do not base coding of students on enrollment in these courses alone. So, if a student is enrolled in, or has completed, a statewide-articulated course, use:

Code 1 if there is no CATE coherent sequence in the student’s four-year plan;
Code 3 if there is a CATE coherent sequence in the student’s four-year plan.
