Administrative Error - retain a record of what happened

This scenario will address the issue of creating unit enrolments in error or for any other reason and that you have decided to delete the record submitted to TCSI but opting to keep the record in Paradigm.

Recommended Workflow:

Load the unit enrolment and click the “Delete From TCSI” button. That will remove the record from TCSI and make the record in Paradigm read-only and also set the enrolment status to “TCSI Deleted”. Once the record is marked as read-only all of the fields become locked from editing. Only a user with the highest system permission is able to unlock the record.

Internal course transfer where the student is taking the same scheduled unit in both courses

When a student undertakes an internal course transfer, where they are undertaking the same unit in both courses, then care must be taken to avoid triggering a duplicate record TCSI validation error. This applies when the student has one or more unit

Recommended Workflow:

The recommended workflow is to trigger a “TCSI Delete” on the unit enrolment from the original course, prior to creating the unit enrolment in the new course. Do not attempt to transfer the unit enrolment directly between course enrolments within Paradigm as that is likely to just trigger multiple validation errors.

If you happen to transfer already the units, manually mark each of the units under the new course as RPL/Exempt/Credit. This is most efficiently done via the screen located: Student > Course Enrolment > Units section of Paradigm. Refer to the instructions found in this Confluence workflow: Processing RPL or Credit with an existing unit enrolment

Raise a ticket if the above solutions are not applicable to your case.

Withdraw the student without a penalty (e.g. pre-census)

If the student is a recipient of government funding (field “Funding Amount” has a value greater than 0.00) then you must also report a value of “Remission due to special circumstances (01)” in the field Variation Reason (E446). This will ensure any debt already forwarded to the Australian Tax Office will be reversed.
