A student’s course outcome is to be coded as “completed” when the Provider has determined that the student has met all the requirements of the course in which the student is currently enrolled.
A student’s course outcome is to be coded as “withdrawn” where the student has formally notified the provider that they are discontinuing study in the course and they are not transferring to, or completing, a related course with the provider.
A student’s course outcome is to be coded as “enrolment cancelled” where the Provider has withdrawn the student from the course due to the student’s lack of progress or other academic or disciplinary reasons.
A student’s course outcome is to be coded as “approved leave” where the Provider has approved a leave of absence for the student after the student has commenced the course.
Do not report a Course outcome code where the student remains enrolled in the course, unless one of the allowable categories applies to the student.
Higher education
A student’s course outcome is to be coded as “completed but continuing a related course” where the student has completed the requirements of the course but will be continuing in a related course for which they will receive full credit recognition for the first course. This includes nested awards where a completion is reported for a lower or component award but the student will continue study. For example, a student completing a nested Graduate Certificate who is continuing with a Graduate Diploma or a student who is awarded a single degree (e.g. BA) but is continuing their enrolment in a related combined degree (e.g. BA/LLB).
A student’s course outcome is to be coded as “transfer to complete a related course” where the student is not continuing study in the course or a related course with the provider but will have a completion recorded (without further study) for the related course. This includes students receiving an exit award at the same or lower level.
A student’s course outcome is to be coded as “transfer to continue a related course” where the student is not continuing study in the course but is transferring to a related course that will require further study to meet the requirements of that second course. For example, a student who transfers from a combined degree to a related single degree but has yet to complete the single degree, or a student transferring from a bachelor pass to a bachelor honours degree but did not separately complete the pass degree.
