Submission of MN Workforce Pell data requires institutions to set up an account with the MN Office of Higher Education (OHE) for the secure transfer of student and program-level data on each of its programs submitted for approval. Participation in MN Workforce Pell is entirely voluntary. Completion of the account creation form does not obligate an institution to participate, nor does it guarantee approval of any program for Workforce Pell eligibility. Final program approval will be subject to state and federal review processes.
This form captures contact information for each participating institutions' lead data manager. This contact will be responsible to gather, secure, submit and respond to any related questions from the OHE Workforce Pell team.
REMINDER: By submitting this form, you are not obligating the institution to submit data to OHE or to apply to participate in Workforce Pell. This registration is merely to prepare for the submission of data later this year.
With submission of this account creation form, the person responsible for Workforce Pell applications from electing MN institutions can expect to receive a confirmation email within 1-2 weeks from a MNIT service account confirming that a secure account is set-up.
MN institutions who have established secure accounts will complete the application for each program and submit via their account's secure file transfer protocol. Tentative data elements and documents include, but are not limited to:
- Student Identifiers (SSN, Name)
- Institution identifier
- Program Information (including CIP, clock hours, credit hours, cost, credential awarded, etc.)
- Cohort Start Date
- Cohort Scheduled Completion Date
- Student Actual Start Date
- Student Actual Completion Date
- Student Withdrawal Date (if applicable)
- Program Articulation Agreements
- Program Advisory Board Meeting Minutes
