06011: Suspension of active studies
Field Information
| Number: | 152 |
| Name: | Suspension of active studies |
| Abbreviation: | NOTACT |
| Length: | 1 |
| Status: | Compulsory where the student is not actively studying on this student instance/programme of study and field 33, Reason for leaving, and field 35, Date left, are not completed or Mode of study is not 'Dormant' (field 70, codes 63 or 64) |
| Description: | An indicator to show that a student has suspended study and is no longer actively following the programme of study. In these cases field 33, Reason for leaving, and field 35, Date left, would not be completed. |
| Notes: | Field 152/137, Suspension of active studies, is used to indicate a student was active during the reporting period but has now suspended studies. A student who was not active at any time during the reporting period should be returned as 'dormant' in field 70 Mode of study. An entry in this field is not required if the student has left the institution/completed the programme of study (field 33, Reason for leaving, and field 35, Date left, completed). Similarly an entry in this field is not required if the student has been dormant for the whole year (field 70, codes 63 or 64). Once a record has been returned with an entry in this field, a record with the same HIN will not be required in subsequent years unless the student returns to resume the programme of study or a record is being returned to end the student instance (by completing field 33, Reason for leaving, field 35, Date left and field 37 Qualification obtained 1 (where relevant)). Code 2 DH/NHS student temporarily stepping-off HIN The reasons for stepping-on and off are many and varied. The DH core definition of such stepping-off points would be: "a student who takes a break in study, at an agreed appropriate time, and who plans to return to join a later cohort from the one with which they originally started." This provides individuals with the ability to enter or leave a programme of education at a given point, providing maximum flexibility, thereby enabling an individual to consider alternative options of employment and education. For example, the new nursing programme allows for stepping-off points at the end of Year 1 (following successful completion of the Common Foundation Programme) and throughout the programme. |
| Reason Required: | To allow institutions to temporarily complete a record where Reason for leaving and Date left are not completed. For progression monitoring and linkage, and for supporting population definitions. |
