1. How do I format the data for my submission?
A: You will need to upload an Excel spreadsheet with your data to the IDEx. Your Excel spreadsheet must match the template exactly. If your submitted spreadsheet does not match or has missing data, we will contact you and ask you to resubmit. A link to a copy of the template can be found in the Instruction Manual.
- All data must be in one worksheet. Do not break data up between multiple worksheet tabs.
- Do not leave any blank rows between entries.
2. All branch campuses at my institution have been assigned the form in the IDEx but not all of them have nursing programs. How do I report them?
A: We require that all data submissions be broken out by campus. Since your institution is approved for the High Needs Nursing Program, we automatically assigned the forms to all your campuses. You only need to complete the form for those campuses that have eligible nursing degree programs. The form can be left unsubmitted for your other campuses. If you would like to be sure that we know why you have only submitted the form for certain campuses, you can always submit a ticket using higheredsupport.nysed.gov to let us know.
3. What happens if the institution fails to submit the data by the due date?
A: The institution will be ineligible to receive an allocation payment for the academic year.
4. How does a new institution become eligible for the High Needs Nursing Program?
A: The institution must complete an Application for Participation and submit it for approval by September 15th.
- The application can be found on the forms page.
