Management Information Systems (MIS)
If this question is regarding the CAEP requirements, then as a college they would be using CCCCO MIS, not TE.
If you are only reporting in MIS, then no, you do not have to complete the monthly TE Data Integrity Reports.
All data for students should be collected through the regular reporting cycle of COMIS. There are two ways to report barriers in COMIS. See page 5 of the FAQ for Adult Education Pipeline on the Launchboard on the CAEP website for a detailed overview. (https://caladulted.org/DownloadFile/994)
