Higher Education Student submission guidelines
Each record in the EN file must have a unique combination of values for:
Student identification code (element 313)
Course code (element 307)
Reporting year and period code (element 415).
These elements are the key identifiers for a student's enrolment record. Enrolment records must also have consistent values for:
Student identification code (element 313)
Date of birth (element 314)
Gender code (element 315)
Commonwealth Higher Education Student Support Number (CHESSN) (element 488).
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.
Please refer to the current Higher Education Data Collection reporting Schedule for reporting dates and deadlines for any changes or updates.
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.
