Assumptions

...

Base Units in Paradigm provide the structure in creating scheduled unit enrolments, adding assessments, and all other related data in the system. This knowledge article will give you all the key fields required to successfully create a base unit in Paradigm – and at the same time meeting the government reporting requirements. This will also provide the workflows on some of the base units processes in your business or institution: search, create/add, add attachments, edit, delete, as well as adding assessments to base units.

title what is
EFTSL

EFTSL is an acronym of Equivalent Full Time Study Load. EFTSL is a measure used by the Australian Government and institutions to measure the total load consumed by a student. EFTSL is a measurement of how much a unit is worth within a normal full-time study year.

Status

title how to
Calculate an EFTSL

To calculate a study load (EFTSL) for a single unit, take the number of credit points for one year of full time load, and divide it by the number of credit points for the unit. For example, if the one year load is worth 96 and a single unit is worth 12 credit points, the EFTSL is 0.125 which represents 12 divided by 96, or as a fraction, one-eighth.

This is based on a normal study year being comprised of two semesters, meaning the sum of EFTSL for all units within each semester is 0.5 in total. The student may study 4 units per semester, implying 8 units for the year, meaning that a single unit is now worth 0.125 EFTSL.

If your institution works on a trimester structure, then you may end up with an EFTSL count of more than 1. Technically, trimester study mode is overloading above a normal study load. A similar overloading of EFTSL would occur in the event that a student was enrolled in units above the normal level, for example accelerated learning.

BE ADVISED

Before a student can be enrolled into a Unit:

The unit / subject must have already been created as a Base Unit;
The Base Unit must then be scheduled, by creating a scheduled unit record, giving it a specific time period for delivery, a census date, and a venue;
WARNING: It is critically important that providers ensure their Scheduled Unit records have been coded without errors BEFORE creating new student Unit Enrolments as part of an upcoming enrolment period; and
Once these have been done, the student can now be enrolled in the Scheduled Unit.

NOTE

Some of the fields within the Add Unit section are required by either or both sections of government reporting (HEIMS and AVETMISS).
