NC Graduation Data Verification Review
The Graduate Data Verification Collection contains demographic information, graduation information, and post-graduate intentions of high school graduates, providing the school districts with an authoritative list of their graduates. This data is used for the annual North Carolina Public Schools Statistical Profile and the State Archives.
Please use the NC Graduation Data Verification | Infinite Campus article for detailed information on generating and reviewing the Graduate Data Verification Report.

- GDV reports help PSUs identify and resolve data issues that may impact graduation reporting.
- Each warning is based on specific data conditions to flag missing, inconsistent, or invalid graduation-related information.
