This field records the average maximum annual fee for the course for a Scotland domiciled student

Where KISCourse.KISTYPE = 1,3 and KISCourse.UCASCOURSEID does not exist and KISCourse.FEETBC = 1

This field should give the average maximum annual fee for the course as a whole for a student domiciled in Scotland. Where the course contains optional components that reduce the fee, for example a sandwich placement, then it should be assumed that the student does not take these components when determining the fee level. The value should not be reduced to reflect any fee waivers or discounts that are offered. In particular the fee should not be reduced to account for the fee grant paid by SAAS for Scottish students.

This field must not be returned where KISCourse.KISTYPE = 2.

This field's data type allows values in the range of 0-99999. Business rule 3 restricts the range to 1-9000 for non-Scottish institutions and business rule 4 restricts the range to 0-9000 for Scottish institutions.

Exceptionally, for some courses it may not be possible for a student to pay a fee for a course. In these cases the KIS will need to report a zero fee. When returning fee information directly to HEFCE the fee should be set to zero. This will fail validation and a switch will need to be applied. Institutions should e-mail [email protected] to obtain a switch. When submitting data via UCAS a value of 1 should be entered. This will be mapped to zero as part of the process of importing UCAS sourced data into the KIS.
