Objective

The article outlines all elements on the Student Enrolment (EN) file in details, EN scope and file structure. It aims to assist you to understand the EN file, so you can produce the file from Paradigm and upload it to HEPCAT.

Complexity: HIGH

Page Contents

Assumptions

  • The user has entered required data to generate the Student File

  • The user has an understanding of Element numbers required in HEPCAT reporting / Paradigm

  • The user has access to HEPCAT to import and validate the HEIMS reports

Key terms and concepts

The data reported in the Enrolment (EN) file provides a profile of each student (e.g. date of birth, gender, home location, country of birth). This file is used in the Student submission.

Each record provides information for a particular student/course combination for a reporting period. Generally there is only one enrolment record in the EN file for each student. However, where a particular student is undertaking more than one course in the same reporting period there may be more than one record for that student in the EN file.

Higher Education Student submission guidelines

Please refer to the current Higher Education Data Collection reporting Schedule for reporting dates and deadlines if there are any changes or updates.

  • Each record in the EN file must have a unique combination of values for:

    These elements are the key identifiers for a student's enrolment record. Enrolment records must also have consistent values for:

    A record to be revised will be matched on these elements.

    All records reported on the EN file must have a matching record on the LL file where the Reporting year and period code (element 415) is equal to the year component of the a Unit of study census date (element 489).


The EN file is one of three files incorporated in the Student submission. The other files are the:

  • Commonwealth Assisted Students (DU) (in a validated HELP Due submission).

  • Student Load/liability (LL)

When reporting a Student submission it is recommended that you read the LL and DU file scope guidelines in conjunction with these scope guidelines.

Workflow

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 transferring into HEPCAT.

 1. How to generate Student file (EN)
  1. Click on the  Report tab on the side menu 

  2. Click on the HEIMS option in the side menu

  3. Click on the Get Report  button next to the Enrolment file (EN) section.

  4. Select the required options as outlined above

  5. Click on the Produce report  button. 

  6. If the report contains any warnings, corrections to the Enrolment data is required, return to the Students record, correct the data and re run this report.

  7. Once the data is clean with no error messages export the file, then import it into HEPCAT.
