| COMMIT Target Date |
23 September 2004 |

| Data Quality Checking Period |
23 September to 31 October 2004 |
| |
A
successful COMMIT will generate several reports. Institutions should
review the reports and resubmit data in order to resolve any data
quality issues.
- Check Documentation (including PI sheet)
- HIN Reports
- POPDLHE
Target population for the 2003/04 DLHE Record (C03018). Record contacts
should liaise with colleagues in the Careers Service to ensure that the
right graduates are included in this report.
- HIN Target List Continuing students for whom a record is expected next year.
- LSC Data Files For those institutions with FE students.
Additionally institutions may wish to decommit their return during this
period in order to include results from late exam or re-sit boards. |
| Last Submission of Data Files |
31 October 2004 |
| |
In order to meet obligations for hand-over of data to its customers, HESA needs to receive all data files by 31 October 2004. |
| Sign-off |
As
part of the data quality assurance procedures, HESA requires the return
to be signed-off by the head of your institution, or by a person with
suitable authority. Please note that the transaction number on the
sign-off slip must correspond to that of the data being signed-off. |
| Note |
Institutions
should download and keep copies of all relevant reports that they are
likely to need during the year, as it will be necessary to restrict
access to the collection after the submission deadline. |
