Student record 2007/08

This field describes the location at which the student is studying.

All instances where Instance.REDUCEDI = 00 or 01

To track student migration, placements, etc., and to support population definitions.

Location of study - The studies described should relate to the FTE reported in field Instance.STULOAD which in turn are described in detail in fields ModuleSubject.COSTCN, ModuleSubject.MODSBJ and ModuleSubject.MODSBJP.

Codes A - C and H - R can be used only for FE students at institutions in England and Wales.

Code E, 'On industrial placement for a proportion of the year' should be used where the student undertakes a full-time placement lasting for at least 10 weeks. Where a student undertakes a placement on a part-time basis this should only be included if, when summed, it is equivalent to 10 weeks full-time work.

Where both code E 'On industrial placement for a proportion of the year' and code G 'On study year abroad for a proportion of the year' apply in the same academic year, code E 'On industrial placement for a proportion of the year' should be used in preference to code G 'On study year abroad for a proportion of the year'.

Information about students studying for the whole of their programme of study (to date) outside of the UK, and those not funded for study by distance learning overseas should be returned on the Aggregate Overseas Record and not included in the Student Record.

There is no requirement to send an individualised student record for any student studying for the whole of their programme of study (to date) outside of the UK and those not funded for study by distance learning overseas.

However, there are a small number of distance learning students studying outside the UK who are funded - e.g. Crown servants overseas and the Services. For these students a full record is needed, and is collected through the individualised Student Record. Such students should be coded 9 'Distance Learning - Non-UK based student (funded only)' in this field.
