Notes |
This field is identical to the Student.DISABLE field in the Student record. Code 00 'No known disability' should be returned when the student indicates that they do not have a disability. Code 10 'Autistic Spectrum Disorder' is to include Asperger Syndrome, as an example of an ASD. Code 96 'A disability not listed above' may be used where it is known that the student has a disability, but what type is not known. Code 97 'Information refused' should be used in all cases where the student has explicitly refused to provide disability information. Code 98 'Information not sought' may be used for continuing students in cases where the institution does not already hold the information. Code 99 'Not known' includes all cases where the information has been sought but is missing. If this field is coded 02-96 indicating that the student has a disability, then Student.DISALL should be coded 4, 5 or 9. This information is available from UCAS and GTTR. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
