Student HEIMS Edit

Objective

This page will only be used during the transition period between HEPCAT Reporting and the implementation of TCSI and only by institutions who have not completed their 2020 reporting e.g. those who have late units, summer school or trimester 3.

The purpose of the Student HEIMS Edit page is to assist our users to validate HEIMS Reporting related errors with ease. In addition, this page has similar layout and content to the new Student TCSI Edit page that is about to be released for the TCSI project.

The Student HEIMS Edit page streamlines the processes of validating the values of HEIMS reportable fields. It consolidates the HEIMS reportable fields from both the Student Edit Details page and Edit Course Enrolment details page.

The Student HEIMS Edit page is a temporary page designed to assist you in this transitional period before the TCSI project goes live. Once the TCSI project transitions from TCSI read-only mode to TCSI write mode, this page will no longer be used.

Assumptions

Be advised

The pages, fields and buttons that you can see, and the items you can edit, are based on:

  • how the Paradigm system is configured for your institution, and

  • the options that are made available by your institution, and

  • the access level assigned to you by the "nominated contact person" or other Paradigm expert, according to your permission needs.

For more information please contact your "nominated contact person" or other Paradigm expert.

Users can only edit course enrolments where the users home institution is set to the same as the student. This prevents users from editing records of student not within their own institution.

  • The student record has already been created.

  • You always have to load a student record prior to coming to this screen

  • You have an access level that allows you to create or edit student records.

  • You have an understanding of the Australian Tertiary Education System / VET Sector and the terms commonly used

  • You have an understanding of the different security levels of access provided to users of Paradigm.

Be advised

The Paradigm field called Overseas Student is an internal Paradigm field only, and it is not a reportable field. However, how you set the value of this field will impact upon other fields that ARE reportable.

For example, setting the value of the Overseas Student field to No, will restrict your choices from the HEIMS E358 (Resident Indicator) field to either Australian citizen, or No information. The choice of Temporary Visa will not be available.

Another example is when the Overseas Student field is set as Yes, and a country other than Australia is chosen as the value for the Semester Residence or the Permanent Home Residence, the corresponding field for the HEMIS E320 field for the Australian postcode will be hidden from view.

For more information please contact your "nominated contact person" or other Paradigm expert.

 

Key terms and concepts

Reporting via TCSI

This method removes the requirement to report student data and information to the government via HEPCAT. Due to this change student information is reported earlier and in smaller data packets. The person who enters the data, in essence, becomes the reporter and in many cases this is a different person than the one who previously submitted the information via HEPCAT. It is therefore imperative that the data is correct, clean and accurate from the outset.

There are 3 parts to creating a valid reportable TCSI record.

  • Create the student record

  • Enrol the student into a course of study

  • Check and validate the HEIMS fields

When validating fields on the HEIMS page, green ticks will indicate that the data is valid, and a red cross will indicate invalid or incomplete data that needs to be checked and edited. This may mean that data that has been entered elsewhere is in conflict with a response here.
