Exit awards packet (PIR) 2023
Version Details
- Version:
- 1.00
The PIR exit awards packet is only used to report a higher education award course completion where the completed course is different to the course the student was admitted to study. Each PIR exit awards packet must be linked to an established PIR course admission packet and an established PIR course packet.
Scope
Providers report a PIR exit awards packet for each student who is to be granted a higher education award where the course leading to the award is related to, but does not exactly match, the course on the course admission record the provider has for the student.
NOTE: Completion of an award course that matches the course code on the PIR course admission record are reported by updating the PIR course admission packet with the correct E599: Course outcome code and E592: Course outcome date. Most completions do not require a separate exit award packet.
Reporting deadlines
Early exit awards awarded in 2023 are due to be reported by 13 September 2024.
Initial reporting requirement
| Element | Reporting requirement |
|---|---|
| UID15: Course admission resource key or E313/E307/E534: Unique course admission combination | Required for all in‑scope exit awards |
| UID5: Course resource key or E307: Course code | Required for all in‑scope exit awards |
| E599: Course outcome code | Required for all in‑scope exit awards |
| E592: Course outcome date | Required for all in‑scope exit awards |
Reporting notes
The course identifier (UID5 or E307) ) in the PIR exit awards packet must be the course for which the award is being granted. The course admission identifier (UID15 or E313/E307/E534) is the related course admission. If the student is not continuing with the course in the related course admission record, the course outcome code (E599) on that PIR course admission packet must be revised to indicate that the student has ‘transferred to complete a related course’. If the student is continuing the related course admission, the exit award should be reported as ‘completed but continuing a related course’.
