History of Data in SIRIS
We rely on what is in PeopleSoft, so for the years before PeopleSoft (PS) was implemented (usually the 2002-2003 year is considered the first full PS year), it depends on whether or not the data was converted from the prior legacy system NSI (Network for Student Information). Academic history (what programs/plans students were in) is pretty good, at least for the PS years, but other kinds of history (e.g. citizenship) may be non-existent or spotty.
The table below summarizes the time frame for data in SIRIS by subject area. Note that the time periods are represented by academic term code.
