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, $585.00 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.
If the student has taken up a payment plan or other payment arrangements with an organisation which allows the student to pay their tuition fees for a unit of study in instalments over a period of time, the complete payment amount paid is reported.
Higher Education only
The amount paid for Commonwealth supported students must have zero cents when aggregated to the unit of study.
Pre‑2017
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) 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).
Post‑2016
A student's HECS‑HELP status is determined individually for each unit of study undertaken.
Therefore, HECS‑HELP eligible students contribution amounts are reported as deferred (E490 (Student status code) code 201) for a unit of study if the all or part of the contribution amount has been deferred and as paid (E490 (Student status code) code 204) for a unit of study if the full contribution has paid up‑front.
