HESA Student Record 2010/11Guidance on the derivation of EntryProfile.QUALENT3 in the UCAS data for HESA transaction |
return to index |
Version 1.0 Produced 2010-07-19
UCAS will provide QUALENT3 data via the UCAS Data for HESA (*J) transaction. For 2010 UCAS Data for HESA transaction only, QUALENT3 will be derived via a mapping to QUALENT2 as described below.
1. Information provided by applicant in the UCAS Apply system and examination result information provided by awarding bodies (as part of Awarding Body Linkage (ABL) processing) are used to derive a value of QUALENT2 (as in previous years' *J transactions)
2. This value is then mapped to a QUALENT3 value:
