03011: Completion of Year of programme of study

Field Information

Number: 155
Name: Completion of Year of programme of study
Abbreviation: FUNDCOMP
Length: 1
Status: Compulsory for institutions in England, Northern Ireland and Wales.
Description: This field refers to the year of programme of study being funded. The field records the student's completion status with respect to that year of programme of study being funded.
Notes: Coding should be consistent with Funding Council early statistics. Refer to Funding Council for full definitions.

Normally when code 2 is returned, then either fields 33, Reason for leaving and 35, Date left, will be completed to end the student instance, or field 152/137, Suspension of active studies will be completed to show the study is suspended. It has become more common for students to fail to complete the current year of programme of study but continue to study with the institution, this is particularly true of part-time students who drop a module.

Code 9 'Not in HESES population' can be used if the reporting period does not contain, in part or in whole, a year of programme of study which has previously, is, or will be, returned to HESES. However, use of code 9 is an option. Institutions can, if they so wish, use the other codes for all records.

Code 4 'Other non-completion' is not to be used in 2003/04. However, there is a possibility that HEFCE might introduce different non-completion criteria. HEFCE will inform English institutions of its usage via HESES.
Reason Required: Required by HEFCE and HEFCW for alignment with definitions used for funding allocations.

The definitions refer back to Funding Council definitions so that if, in future, there are any modifications to the Funding Council definitions, the HESA record is able to accommodate them.
