Aggregated awards packet 2024

Version Details

Version:
1.00

The aggregated awards packet is used to report an award course completion for a student who does not have a course admissions record with the provider that relates to the course completion. It is to be used where a student is to receive an award with a provider but they do not undertake any units of study with the provider in that course and there is therefore no need to establish a course admissions packet for the student, such as people who are to be awarded a higher doctorate. Each aggregated awards packet must be linked to an established student packet and an established course packet.

Scope

Providers are required to report an aggregated awards packet for each student who is to be granted a higher education award but does not have a course admissions record with the provider that relates to the completed course.

Uniqueness

Each aggregated award packet must have a unique combination of values for:

  • student (UID8 or E313)
  • course (UID5 or E307)
  • course of study commencement date (E534).

The combination of student (UID8 or E313), course (UID5 or E307) and course of study commencement date (E534) must also be unique across all course admissions packets and aggregated awards packets for the provider.

Revising and adding data

A provider can correct the data in an aggregated awards packet after the initial packet is reported. All values on an aggregated awards packet are to be correct as at the course outcome date (E592).
