Implications
This report is Part 2 of 2 for the Past Course Completions and Unit of Study Completions Submission file set.
Please note that these 2 reports (Unit of Study and Past course completions) must be validated and submitted together.
Unlike the Course of Study and Campus file the order of submission is not critical.The set is the Past Course Completions file (PS) and the Unit of Study Completions file (CU) is submitted no later than close of business 30th of April.
However is if your institution is participating in the QILT or GOS data surveys, the data will need to be submitted and verified earlier to allow for data selection from these bodies.
Please refer to the current Higher Education Data Collection reporting Schedule for reporting dates and deadlines for any changes or updates.
