Course fields of education packet 2021
Version Details
- Version:
- 1.00
The course fields of education (CFE) packet is used to report changes through time to the fields of education for a given course. The first CFE packet for a course is created as part of the course packet. A provider may create as many additional CFE packets as necessary to report changes to the fields of education for a course through time.
Initial reporting requirements
| Element | Required reporting | Deadline |
|---|---|---|
| *E461: Field of education code | Required if there is a change through time to E461 or E462 for an existing course | Before the first course admission is linked to the course or within 7 days of a new value for field of education being known |
| *E462: Field of education supplementary code | Required if there is a change through time to E461 or E462 for an existing course | Before the first course admission is linked to the course or within 7 days of a new value for field of education being known |
| *E609: Field of education effective from date | Required if there is a change through time to E461 or E462 for an existing course | Before the first course admission is linked to the course or within 7 days of a new value for field of education being known |
*These elements must be reported together when a new CFE packet is created
Uniqueness
Each CFE packet must have a value for E609 (field of education effective from date) that is unique for the course.
Revising data
Providers can correct data submitted in a CFE packet, with the following limitations:
- the field of education effective from date (E609) for the first CFE packet cannot be amended as this is a system generated date that remains linked to the course effective from date (E609)
- only the CFE packets at the end of the time series can be deleted
- a field of education effective from date (E609) cannot be amended in a way that would create a gap or overlap in the time series of CFE data for a course.
Deleting a course will delete CFE packets linked to the course.
