Implications
This report is Part 1 of 3 for the Student Submission file set.
The set are the Enrolment (EN), Load Liability (LL) and Help Due (DU). The 3 reports must be validated in this order.
- DU
- EN
- LL
Once all three have been validated HEPCAT automatically embeds a snapshot of the data from the DU file into the set. The DU file is never submitted to the department unless specifically requested.
The data for this report is from the students application data. It is imperative that data entry is accurate and formatted in a consistent manner to ensure a minimum number of errors in the reports.
This data is to be reported via HEPCAT by the reporting deadlines associated with each census date.
Please refer to the current Higher Education Data Collection reporting Schedule for reporting dates and deadlines for any changes or updates.
| Warning |
|---|
Reports should never be altered directly in the flat file as the structure of the file can inadvertently altered and Corrupted. The files will then not import into HEPCAT. The preferred method of Silverband is to update the information directly in Paradigm and then re - export the reports for transfering into HEPCAT. |
