Coding notes
HEPs - Provision of data is discretionary in both submissions (TACs - Provision of data is discretionary in both preliminary and detailed submissions).
Report ‘6’ in cases where a response to an offer is not required
A response to an offer can be an explicit response from the applicant or applicant’s agent or inferred by the institution from the applicant’s failure to respond by the lapse date (coded as ‘4’) or from the applicant’s enrolment in an institution course corresponding to the course (coded as ‘1’)
If ‘6’ is recorded at such time as the applicant enrols change to ‘1’
A failure to enrol does not supersede an acceptance of the offer
The most recent response is reported where an applicant explicitly changes his/her response to an offer
Concurrent acceptance of multiple offers is not invalid.
