Report Logic

  • Reports a record for each primary, partial, or special ed enrollment for students with an active enrollment on at least one day from the first instructional/attendance day in the calendar through the End Date selected on the extract editor.
  • The day on which the student had an active enrollment must be marked as an instructional day and an attendance day.
  • If a student has multiple enrollments in the district that meet the reporting criteria, a record reports for each enrollment.
  • When enrollments in the selected calendar(s) have a value in the home school field, the home school reports as the school.
  • Students are NOT included if their:
    • enrollment record is marked as State Exclude;
    • enrollment record is marked as No Show;
    • Grade Level of enrollment is marked as State Exclude; or
    • Calendar of enrollment is marked as State Exclude.

Days Attending

The aggregate number of days the student was in attendance during the current school year (to the nearest half-day).

To determine the Days Attending, Campus subtracts the number of days absent as of the the End Date selected on the extract editor from the number of days enrolled. The days enrolled are the number of instructional and attendance days a student is enrolled up to the End Date selected on the extract editor.


Numeric, 4 digits
N/A
Days Absent

The aggregate number of days the student was absent during the school year (to the nearest half-day).

Absences are defined by any attendance code tied to a state code of 1-21.

 When a student's absent minutes equal or exceed the Calendar whole day absence, the student is counted as whole day absent. 

When multiple different absence codes are used on the same day, the day is only counted once. If the student has an FTE value of 0, 1 or the FTE field is NULL, then Campus calculates the total number of absences for the reporting period based on the values found here: System Administration > Calendar > Calendar > Whole Day Absence Minutes and Partial Day absence Minutes.

If the student has a value in the FTE override field on the enrollment, then Campus uses the following logic.

  1. Finds Student’s FTE on enrollment
  2. Finds the number of student day minutes from the calendar
  3. Multiplies the number of student day minutes by the FTE
  4. The number of minutes the student was absent is divided by the product in number #3.

Days Not Belonging 

The number of days not belonging prior to entry and/or following withdrawal during the current school year (for students with multiple records).


When No Show is marked in Attendance, Campus reports the number of days marked as instructional and attendance from the Enrollment Start Date to the End Date selected on the extract editor.

Otherwise, when No Show is NOT marked, Campus reports the number of instructional days in the school’s calendar to the End Date selected on the extract editor, MINUS the days absent to the End Date selected on the extract editor AND the days attending to the End Date selected on the extract editor. This calculation is done for each enrollment.


Days Attending + Days Absent + Days Not Belonging equals the calendar’s instructional days to the End Date selected on the extract editor.

Unlawful Days Absent 

The aggregate number of days the student was unlawfully absent during the current school year (to the nearest half-day).

Unlawful Absences are defined by any attendance code tied to a state code of  20 or 21.

If the student has a value in the FTE override field on the enrollment that is not 1, then Campus uses the following logic.

  1. Finds Student’s FTE on enrollment
  2. Finds the number of student day minutes from the calendar
  3. Multiplies the number of student day minutes by the FTE
  4. The number of minutes the student was absent is divided by the product in number #3.
