This document will provide instructions using the Cohort Year Fast Loader. Students can be fast loaded by selecting all students that are in the same Cohort Year and then selecting the Cohort; or the students may be assigned individually for a small group of students that are in a different Cohort.


In Bulletin 111 (July 2016), the LDOE defines Cohort Year as `A cohort of students is all students who entered 9th grade for the first time in the state of Louisiana in a given academic year. Transitional 9th graders will enter automatically the first time 9th grade cohort in the year after enrolling in transitional 9th grade.`


On the left navigation panel, select Student Master on the panel on the left side of the screen. Under Loaders, select Cohort Year Fast Loader.


Setup Box Options

To find definitions for standard setup values, follow this link: Standard Setup Options.

For other set up values not listed in the standard set up list:

Year - You may select a future year in the setup box.
Cohort Year - Only use this area if you are making a list of certain year cohorts after having previously loaded the student's cohort year.


Click the OK to advance to the next screen.


Column Headers

To find definitions of commonly used column headers, follow this link: Common Column Headers.

For other columns not listed in the common column list:

Cohort Year--Column for selecting the cohort year using astericks. This column will display the Cohort Year for any student whose Cohort Year has already been entered.


Instructions for loading the Student Cohort Year for all students in the same grade with the same cohort year:

  1. You will need the list of the few students that do not have the same Cohort Year as the majority of the grade and each cohort year of each of these students. Their cohort year can be entered individually or in small groups using the instructions below.
  2. Click the Check Box at the top of the Cohort Year column. An asterisk will appear in the column for all students.
  3. NOTE--students that already have a cohort year on the screen should be skipped when checking the cohort year check box. Skipping these students will prevent the replacement of any existing cohort years that have been previously entered.
  4. Select the Cohort Year from the list of values on the right side of the screen.
  5. All asterisks will be replaced with the selected cohort year value.
  6. A student's cohort year can be found at the bottom right on the Sports and Fees tab of his/her student master record.
  7. Refer to the instructions below for Printing this report.


Instructions for loading the Student Cohort Year for individual students or small groups

  3. Select the Cohort Year from the list of values on the right side of the screen.
  4. All asterisks will be replaced with the selected cohort year value.
  5. In addition to this report, a student's cohort year can be found at the bottom right on the Sports and Fees tab of his/her student master record.
