Uniqueness
Each course admission packet must have a unique combination of values for:
- student (UID8 or E313)
- course (UID5 or E307)
- course of study commencement date (E534).
Revising and adding data
A provider can revise any data already in a course admission packet after the initial packet is reported as per the table below.
A course admission packet cannot be deleted if it is linked to an active unit enrolment packet.
The course identifier (UID5 or E307) should only be amended where data has been incorrectly reported through a genuine administrative error. The course identifier must not be revised as a result of a student transferring between courses. A new course admissions packet is to be created in this instance.
If a student has:
- more than one basis for admission into the course, the additional basis for admission code (E327) is to be reported through the basis for admission packet
- credit applied towards the requirements of the course on more than one occasion, the additional credit values and codes (E560 and E561)) are to be reported through the course prior credit packet.
