Beginning with the NC-SARA Data Report published in December 2020, NC-SARA changed the nomenclature used for reporting periods in the annual data reports. For each of the following reports on this page, the title of the report reflects the year the data was reported to NC-SARA, and not the time period of enrollment or placement. All distance education enrollments that were reported to NC-SARA took place the fall term before the report-date year, and out-of-state learning placements (OOSLP) took place in the previous calendar year. For example, the 2019 Data Report on this page reports on distance education enrollments in fall of 2018, and OOSLP data in calendar year 2018.
