Overview ↑

The TEXAS-FIRST-EARLY-HS-COMPLETION-PROGRAM (E1736) element is used to track students who graduate early under the Texas First Early High School Completion Program. It also specifies whether the student graduated two or more semesters early, or fewer than two semesters earlier than the expected graduation date of the student's high school cohort. 


This element is reported in PEIMS Submission 1 with the StudentEnrollment interchange, in the StudentGraduationProgram extension. See StudentEnrollment Interchange - Field Mapping and Rules.


The indicator and reason code can be printed on the student transcript.
