Student Level Users

The student version of the page can allow students to confirm their details and verify them themselves. This can be particularly useful for large institutions.

A “Check and Confirm” option can be set up by the system to ensure that student users can be directed to the page intermittently to ensure that data is kept up to date. The frequency of visits is determined by the ‘HEIMS Last validated’ field in the Student>Course Enrolment>Course Page. If this field / date is blank the student will be directed to the Student TCSI Confirm details page when they next log in. The after the initial validation the student will be directed to the page every three months. This is to ensure that it is checked every enrolment period.

Please consult with the Silverband support team to enable the “Check and Confirm” functionality. TCSI Errors generated by this screen will not be displayed to Student Users

The Elements below are taken from the Student Residential information sections. It is critical that these are regularly checked, updated and also confirmed by the student.

Element

E410 - Residential Street Address

E469 - Residential Address Suburb

E470 - Residential Address State

E320 - Residential Address Postcode

E658 - Residential Address Country Code

To set up this page ready for student to validate it them selves some fields are required by TCSi and will need to be configured. The institution will need to decide as to how much of the data you will allow the students to verify themselves. Some fields will automatically be greyed out as they are populated from other parts of the system and are read only.
