- FPS number – finger print serial number (this is an inmate’s unique ID number assigned by CSC)
- UTA – unescorted temporary absence
- ETA – escorted temporary absence
- DPE – day parole eligibility
- FPE – full parole eligibility
- SRD – statutory release date
- WED – warrant expiry date (this is when an inmate’s sentence will be complete)
- LTED – long term supervision expiry date (only applies to those designated as long-term offenders)
- APR – accelerated parole review (only inmates sentenced before March 28, 2011 may be eligible)
