Data is discretionary in all submissions.
Current year means the year in which the most recent Australian State and Territory school-leaver cohort completed Year 12 i.e. the year immediately prior to the reference year for the detailed collections.
For the preliminary collection (TACs only), this element should reflect the Year 12 qualification being attempted.
Only one qualification is to be reported in cases where an application is made by an individual with more than one current Australian Year 12 qualification.
The following qualifications are coded as ‘09’: Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning, Accelerated Christian Education and Rudolf Steiner/Waldorf Education.
QCE (‘03’) may also be used for the Queensland Senior Certificate by internal examination but the Queensland Senior Certificate by external examination is excluded.
International Baccalaureate qualifications are coded ‘08’ for all students who are confirmed by the Australian Office of the International Baccalaureate Organisation (regardless of whether the qualification was achieved at an onshore Australian school).
Summary
Element 702 was included as part of the University Applications and Offers data collection from 2010. There have been some modifications and updates to coding notes to this element since to help streamline documentation.
