New Title II features
ETS continues to work with the U.S. Department of Education and Westat to finalize our Title II reporting system. ETS will roll out its new Title II data collection website in 2010 in two phases:
- Phase One: The site will open to State Agency Users in early July for the review and approval of state tests and licenses
- Phase Two: The site will be available to Institutions of Higher Education in mid-September for entry of student data to be matched to scores
Some new features you'll be seeing include:
- One primary user for each institution/agency with full control of secondary users
- Automatic e-mail notices and reminders and password process
- Reports available for viewing and downloading directly from website in two formats
- Report format for use during resolution period
- Flat file format for submission to State Agency or Westat
- Confidentiality agreement will be automated online; faxing will no longer be required
- Access will not be limited to two individuals for either state or institutions; each contact will have his/her own password
- IHE's will have an option to upload spreadsheets containing student information
- No minimum number of student records required for upload
- Reports will remain available on the website for three years
ETS will continue to update our clients as more information becomes available. Please contact Sharen Virgin, ETS Title II Administrator, at svirgin@ets.org with any questions or comments.
