Special interest course packet 2022
The special interest course (SIC) packet is used to report changes through time to the special course type (E312) for a given course. A SIC packet for a course will be created as part of the course packet if the provider reports a value for the special interest type when the course packet is established. Otherwise, a provider may create a SIC packet later and can create as many SIC packets as necessary to report changes to the SIC information for a course through time.
Scope
Providers are required to report a SIC packet only when a course is of special interest (as defined in E312) and this was not reported through the original course packet or when there is a change to the value of the special interest value through time.
Initial reporting requirements
Element | Required reporting | Deadline |
---|---|---|
*E312: Special course type | Required if there is a change through time to E312 for an existing course | Before the first course admission is linked to the course or within 7 days of a new value for E312 being known |
*E609: SIC effective from date | Required if there is a change through time to E312 for an existing course | Before the first course admission is linked to the course or within 7 days of a new value for E312 being known |
E610: SIC effective to date | Required if a reported value for E312 ceases to be true for a course | Before the first course admission is linked to the course or within 7 days of a new value for E312 being known |
*These elements must be reported together when a new SIC packet is created
Uniqueness
Each SIC packet must have a value for E609 (SIC effective from date) that is unique for the course.
