AOU packet 2024

Version Details

Version:
1.00

The AOU packet is used to report load and amount data for multiple academic organisational units for a unit enrolment. An AOU packet will be created as part of the unit enrolment packet if the provider reports a value in the AOU extension when the unit enrolment packet is established. Otherwise, a provider may create an AOU packet later and can create as many AOU packets as necessary to spread the load and amount data across multiple academic organisational unit codes (E333).

Scope

Providers that use AOUs are required to report an AOU packet only when this was not reported through the original unit enrolment packet or when there are multiple academic organisational units delivering load for the unit enrolment. Table A and Table B providers must report load and amount data for their higher education unit enrolments across one or more AOU packets. The use of AOUs by other higher education providers is optional.

Revising data

A provider can correct the data in an AOU packet after the initial packet is reported. All values are to be correct as at the unit of study census date (E489).
