- Review and remove sample row of data
- Add the list of exit codes and corresponding descriptions used in your region
- Use the KIPP Foundation codes description below to populate the “KIPP Foundation Code” column with the appropriate code.
- Upload completed template to your My Data page using the “KIPP Foundation Exit Codes” form
