Unit enrolment packet (PIR) 2021

Version Details

Version:
1.00

The PIR unit enrolment packet is used to report a student’s enrolment in units of study. Each PIR unit enrolment packet must be linked to an established course admission packet.

Scope

Unit enrolments are only reportable if the student remains enrolled after the census date. A separate PIR unit enrolment packet is required for each occasion that a student undertakes a unit of study with the provider where:

  • the provider delivers teaching resources
  • the provider sets or charges student contributions or tuition fees, 
  • the unit of study is undertaken by a domestic student as part of a formal overseas exchange program and will count as credit towards a course with the provider and for which the overseas provider is not charging tuition fees,

A PIR unit enrolment packet is not required for units of study:

  • undertaken by overseas students in Australia as part of a formal exchange program where the student is not being charged tuition fees by the provider
  • for English language intensive courses for overseas students (ELICOS)
  • for which the cost of resources is met by another Australian provider
  • involving work experience undertaken as a requirement of a course but which does not count as credit towards the course's total credit requirements
  • leading to the award of a higher doctorate
  • for cross-institutional programs where the provider is not meeting the cost of the resources for the unit of study (these unit enrolments are to be reported by the provider that is meeting the cost of the resources)
  • where the student has been granted an exemption or deferral
  • undertaken by a domestic student as part of a formal overseas exchange program that will not count as credit towards a course with the provider.

Reporting deadlines

In scope unit enrolments with a census date in 2021 are due to be reported in August 2022.

Uniqueness

There cannot be multiple PIR unit enrolment packets with the same combination of values for:

  • student (UID8 or E313)
  • unit of study code (E354)
  • unit of study census date (E489)

A student can study the same unit of study more than once, so long as the commencement and outcome dates do not overlap.

Reporting notes

Each PIR unit enrolment packet must only contain units of study that contribute to the academic requirements of the course indicated by the course admission identifier (UID15 or combination of E313/E307/E534). Where a student is undertaking units of study with the provider that cannot be counted as credit towards the course or units of study undertaken after the academic requirements of the course have been met, the unit enrolment is to be reported for a separate course admission that identifies the course as a non-award course.
