Coding notes
General
Amounts for exempt students and overseas students need to be reported as 00000000.
Values less than 10000000 must have leading and trailing zeros, NOT spaces. For example, $585 is to be expressed as “00058500” and $585:45 is to be expressed as “00058545”.
If the student is in an Employer reserved place/restricted access place, the amount paid must only be the amount paid by the student. It must not include the employer contribution.
Higher Education Providers only:
The amount paid for Commonwealth supported students must have zero cents when aggregated to the unit of study.
A student’s HECS-HELP status is determined by assessing the status of all units of study undertaken, within a given course of study, on a given census date.
HECS-HELP eligible students who have deferred all or part of their student contribution amount for any unit of study, within a course of study, on a particular census date, must be reported as deferred (E490 (Student status) code 201) for all units of study undertaken as a HECS-HELP student, in that course of study, on that census date.
Therefore, HECS-HELP eligible students may be reported as deferred for a particular unit of study, within a course of study, even though they have paid 90% (applied to census dates on or after 1 January 2012) or 80% (applied to census dates prior to 1 January 2012) of the amount reported at E384 (Total Amount charged).
