When a student has a Commonwealth Supported Places (CSPs) subsidy, other financial information of the student must be considered to report the correct amount to the government. The student’s other help loans/contributions amount must also be taken into account. This knowledge article will guide you on how to code your student’s financial information with a CSP subsidy.

...

Note

BE ADVISED:

Take note of the following coding advice to avoid getting any TCSI related errors in your CSP records:

  • CSP students cannot have unit fees deferred to the government that have a cents component. The fee needs to be rounded to whole dollars.

  • The Field of Education (E461) needs to be correctly set on the base course, base unit and scheduled unit levels to a category supported by CSP funding, see TCSI for HE for the fields location in Paradigm.

Info

INFO:

All the fields in Paradigm and their equivalent TCSI Element numbers mentioned and discussed below are found in each unit enrolment record under the FINANCIAL INFORMATION and HEIMS INFORMATION sections, except for the Maximum student contribution code (E392) which can be found under the Course Enrolment details, see TCSI for HE for the fields location in Paradigm.

CSP

A Commonwealth supported place (CSP) is a place at a university or higher education provider where the government pays part of the student’s fees. This part is a subsidy, not a loan, and the student doesn’t have to pay it back.

This subsidy does not cover the entire cost of the student’s study. The remaining portion is called the 'student contribution amount', the payment of which the students are liable for or paid upfront if the students are not HECS-HELP recipients.

A HECS-HELP loan is used to pay the 'Student Contribution Amount'.

Workflow

NOTE:

In Take note of these fields' assumptions when it comes to the sample coding values below, it :

  1. Delivery Fee: It is assumed that there is no shortfall amount between the unit fee normally charged for the unit and the total resourcing offered by the government. If a shortfall amount applies to your business or institution, it is coded under the Delivery Fee field (Unit Fee - sum (CSP amount + student contribution)), as mentioned in the coding guide above.

  2. Subsidy Amount and Type: Another field that is being assumed to be left blank is the Subsidy Type given that there are no HECS-HELP discounts offered, thus leaving the Subsidy Amount’sdefault to 0. If you have any discounts offered or if the student is also a recipient of other subsidies, then you can record the details on these two fields.
