KIS PREVIEW 2013/14

This field records the JACS code(s) for the course.

Where KISCourse.KISTYPE = 1 and both HESACourse and ILRAims entities do not exist

Linking to HESA.

This field will be used to link DLHE and NSS data into the KIS where no HESACourse entity exists for this KISCourse. Further details on the mapping of DLHE and NSS data are provided in Inclusion of NSS and DLHE data.

This field can only be returned if an institution is a higher education institution, private provider or Welsh further education institution. It should not be returned by English, Scottish or Northern Irish further education colleges.

This field uses the JACS2 coding frame.

This field is required when KISCourse.KISTYPE = 1 and both HESACourse or ILRAims entities are missing (i.e. for new courses).

This field must not be returned for KISCourse.KISTYPE = 2 or 3.

JACS2.0 should be used until the 2014 KIS as this is the first year that HESA student data using JACS3.0 will be available for linking. In the transition year we will map the JACS2.0 data in the 2011/12 KIS Record to JACS3.0 for the purposes of aggregating the data.
