Coding notes
General
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".
Amounts for exempt students and overseas students need to be reported as 00000000.
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.
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.
