TCSI mapping tables
You need to use the 2021 data element specifications to report all Course admissions with a Course of study commencement date in 2021.
Data should be recorded using the new allowable values. However, you can use the mapping tables below if the student was admitted before you implemented the new allowable values.
We have tables for:
- Basis for admission code (E327)
- Disability code (E615) replaces Disability (E386)
- Highest participation (E493) from Highest attainment (E620)
Basis for admission (E327) allowable values
