This guidance is specific to the 2023-24 award year and later.

Yes. According to RR-Q1/A1 on the U.S. Department of Education's (ED's) Prison Education Programs Questions and Answers website:

"As described in 34 CFR 668.239, schools will be required to report transfer or release dates of confined or incarcerated individuals that they obtain through their written agreements with correctional facilities or oversight entities. We will provide more information regarding how to report this information soon.

The Department will also announce additional reporting requirements for PEPs through a Federal Register notice."
