Entry Profile : Changes to Existing Requirements

 


Field: DOMICILE Domicile

The implementation of the MIAP CDD definitions means that HESA will be moving to the NS Country Classififcation list from 2007/08.

Codes/Descriptors: A paper (MS Word document) setting out detailed proposals is available here.

You are invited to comment on the practicality of this proposal.

Field: YRLLINST Year Left Last Institution

From 20007/08 this field will only be required for articulating students at Scottish HEIs.

Codes/Descriptors:

A 4-digit number.

You are invited to comment on the practicality of this proposal.

Field: PGCESBJ PGCE Subject of Undergraduate Degree

Following earlier review, HESA will be implementing JACS 2 in parallel with introduction of the new Student Record.

Codes/Descriptors:

A paper (MS Word document) setting out the new JACS 2 is here. A second document (MS Excel workbook) setting out the changes from JACS 1.7 is here.

You are invited to comment on the practicality of this proposal.

Field: PREVINST Previous Institution Attended

Coverage of this field is to be extended to all students. However, for non-UCAS entrants institutions may use the generic codes and not provide details of individual named institutions.

Codes/Descriptors:

These will not change from the current listing: Previous Institution Attended

You are invited to comment on the practicality of this proposal.

Field: ACCESS Access Programmes

The coding frame from the current SPCSTU field has been separated into three separate fields. This is the one dealing with entry via access programmes.

Codes/Descriptors:

  • 1 Entered HE via the SWAP
  • 2 Entered HE via other access programme excluding SWAP

You are invited to comment on the practicality of this proposal.

Field: QUALENT2 Highest Qualification on Entry

The coding frame for this field needs to be updated. This work cannot, however, be completed until it is known what information is going to be available on detailed individual qualifications for UCAS entrants. (See Qualification on Entry entity.)

Codes/Descriptors:

Current coding frame is here: Highest Qualification on Entry

You are invited to comment on the practicality of this proposal.

Field: SEC Socio-economic Classification and SOC2000 Occupation Code

In the first consultation document reference was made to Statutory Customers’ interest in extending the coverage of fields such as SEC and SOC2000 beyond collection for just UCAS entrants.

In this second consultation, the Welsh Assembly Government would welcome further comments from Welsh institutions on the feasibility or otherwise of extending the SOC2000 and SEC fields to non-UCAS undergraduates. The requirement for this information is to be able to take forward the recommendations of the Graham Review into part-time HE study in Wales (due to report at Easter 2006) and to be able to monitor the impact of those recommendations on different socio-economic groups and widening access.

SEC is generated from SOC using a standard algorithm and HESA is investigating whether this could be generated centrally by HESA if institutions undertook the collection of occupation information and coding of SOC. HESA already makes available under licence software for coding of SOC, which is used by those responsible for the DLHE return. This software could also be made available to student record contacts to assist with coding.

Welsh Institutions are invited to comment on the practicality of this proposal.

Field: ENTRYCDE New Entrant to HE

DfES now require that this field record whether or not a student has prior HE experience lasting six months or more. Hence, a new coding frame is proposed.

Codes/Descriptors:

  • A This student has had prior HE experience in the UK lasting six months or more
  • B This student has NOT had prior HE experience in the UK lasting six months or more
  • C It is not known whether this student has had prior HE experience in the UK lasting six months or more

You are invited to comment on the practicality of this proposal.
