All HESACourses

Notes

This field must contain a valid Course.COURSEID from the Institution's HESA Student record for the HESACourse.HESAYEAR.

If HESACourse.HESAYEAR = Both the same HESACourse.HESACOURSEID must exist in both the 2009/10 and 2010/11 HESA Student record.

Validation will check that the HESACourse.HESACOURSEID recorded in this field exists in the C09051 and C10051 Student record.

The same HESACourseID can be linked to multiple KIS courses and validation will not prevent this.

HESACourse.HESACOURSEID and ILRAims.ILRAIMID should only be used to link to courses that are the embodiment, on the HESA/ILR records, of the course for which a KIS is being produced. It would be misleading to applicants if other courses were included, as this could lead to a belief that they were viewing course level data, when they were looking at data relating to a group of courses.
