Higher Education Student submission guidelines
Please refer to the current Higher Education Data Collection reporting Schedule for reporting dates and deadlines for any changes or updates.
Each record in the LL file must have a unique combination of values for:
Student identification code (element 313)
Course code (element 307)
Academic organisational unit code (element 333)
Unit of study code (element 354)
Unit of study census date (element 489)
Commonwealth Higher Education Student Support Number (CHESSN) (element 488)
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 transfering into HEPCAT.
