    Additional information

    Summary
    To generate a population for a 'whole year' count of active student instances, which counts each instance once and once only for each year of programme of study.

    Standard definition
    The HESA standard registration population is derived from the HESA Student or AP student records and ensures that similar activity is counted in a similar way irrespective of when it occurs.

    The population splits the student experience into 'years of programme of study'; the first year of which is deemed to start on the commencement date of the programme with second, and subsequent years, starting on, or near, the anniversary of that date.

    Registrations are counted once for each 'year of programme of study'. Students who leave within two weeks of their start date, or anniversary of their start date, and are on a course of more than two weeks duration, are not included in the standard registration population. Students who have suspended study (e.g. dormant students), incoming visiting and exchange students from overseas, writing-up students and students on sabbatical are also excluded from this population.

    Note that the starting point of the standard registration population is the session population, and so will exclude (where applicable):

    1. dormant student instances (those who have suspended studying but have not formally de-registered)

    2. incoming visiting and exchange student instances

    3. postdoctoral student instances, and students primarily studying outside the UK

    4. instances where the whole of the programme of study is outside of the UK

    5. National College for Teaching and Leadership (NCTL) Subject Knowledge Enhancement (SKE) student instances

    6. students on sabbatical, and

    7. the 'wrapper' programme aim of Apprenticeship Standards students.

    This derived field is created in both the Student record (Cyy051) and the AP student record (Cyy054). The AP student record makes use of the PERIODENDDATE field from a rolled-up Instance_End analysis table, which reflects the position of the student in the last active instance period.

    The Anniversary date identifies the anniversary of the commencement date of the study programme within the current reporting period. For example, if Instance.COMDATE is 10 September 2009, Anniversary dates would be 10 September 2010 in 2010/11 dataset, 10 September 2011 in the 2011/12 dataset, etc. and Anniversary Instance.COMDATE + 14 days would be 24 September 2010 in 2010/11, 24 September 2011 in 2011/12, etc.

    Where a programme of study is entirely within the current reporting period, Instance.COMDATE is used as the anniversary date.

    Y1 is obtained by concatenating the first two digits from year in the system date with the first two digits of Institution.RECID (in Cyy51) or Provider.RECID (in Cyy54), e.g. Y1 = 11 for 2011/12.

    To compare Instance.ENDDATE and Instance.COMDATE account must be taken of the month in Instance.COMDATE. For example:
    • if Instance.COMDATE is 1 March 2009, for comparison purposes Anniversary Instance.COMDATE in reporting period 2010/11 would be 1 March 2011 (Y1+1) and Anniversary Instance.COMDATE + 14 would be 15 March 2011;
    • if Instance.COMDATE is 1 October 2009, for comparison purposes Anniversary Instance.COMDATE in reporting period 2010/11 would be 1 October 2010 (Y1) and Anniversary Instance.COMDATE + 14 would be 15 October 2010.

    This population refers to the student's mode of study to exclude sabbatical, writing-up and dormant students where relevant to the collection. Modes 73 and 74, if available, are treated as active modes.

    Technical Specification

    In the Cyy051 Student record:

    XPSES01 Instance. MODE Instance. ENDDATE Instance. TYPEYR Instance. NOTACT Instance. UNITLGTH Instance. SPLENGTH XPSR01
    1,2 01, 02, 12, 13, 14, 23, 24, 25, 31, 33, 34, 35, 36, 38, 39, 65, 73, 74, 99 Null 1,3,4, null XPSES01
    2 Null XPSES01
    1,2 0
    5 0
    If completed, Instance.ENDDATE > anniversary Instance.COMDATE + 14 days XPSES01
    If completed, Instance.ENDDATE <= anniversary Instance.COMDATE + 14 days 3 01,02 XPSES01
    Otherwise, including null 0
    4 01-14 XPSES01
    Otherwise, including null 0
    5 01-42 XPSES01
    Otherwise, including null 0
    Otherwise, including null 0
    43, 44 0
    0 XPSES01

    Note: Instance.MODE 51, 63, 64 and 98 in the Student record can only derive to an XPSES01 output of zero and hence an XPSR01 output of zero.

    In the Cyy054 AP student record:

    XPSES01 Instance. MODE Instance. ENDDATE Instance_End. PERIODENDDATE Instance. UNITLGTH Instance. SPLENGTH XPSR01
    1 01, 02, 23, 24, 25, 31 Null Null XPSES01
    <= anniversary Instance.COMDATE + 14 days 0
    > anniversary Instance.COMDATE + 14 days XPSES01
    If completed, Instance.ENDDATE > anniversary Instance.COMDATE + 14 days XPSES01
    If completed, Instance.ENDDATE <= anniversary Instance.COMDATE + 14 days 3 01,02 XPSES01
    Otherwise, including null 0
    4 01-14 XPSES01
    Otherwise, including null 0
    5 01-42 XPSES01
    Otherwise, including null 0
    Otherwise, including null 0
    43, 44 0
    0 XPSES01

    Note: Instance.COMDATE is mandatory for all instances enforced by a business rule, 'Instance.COMDATE must exist'. This is not, however, enforced in the schema as minimum occurrences 1. If a null Instance.COMDATE exists through the switching off of this rule this function will fail.

    Revision history

    2016-11-01 2.4.2 Text regarding Apprenticeship Standards added to the exclusions in the standard definition section, with a note explaining the pre-exclusion of new Instance.MODE code 98 in XPSES01 added below the technical specification for the Cyy051 Student record.
    2014-10-16 2.4.1 Addition of new section in the Technical Specification to allow for processing in the AP student record, with a corresponding update to the Additional Information section text to describe the derivation of this derived field on that record.
    2013-10-02 2.3.1 Addition of new Instance.MODE code 99 to Technical Specification, with removal of deleted codes 32, 37. 52, 53, 66, 67, 68 and 69. Change of name from 'Teaching Agency' to 'National College for Teaching and Leadership' in exclusion 5.
    2013-07-23 2.2.9 Additional sentence added to Technical Specification, clarifying that where a programme of study is entirely within the current reporting period, Instance.COMDATE is used as the anniversary date. This is correctly coded in the existing function, but this addition removes ambiguity in the specification.

    2010-04-08 2.2.4 Amended format. Updated year derivation in Additional information and removed reference to null Instance.COMDATE as this is now required for all instances. No change to technical specification.
    2009-03-13 2.2.3 Amended format. Field type added. No change to technical specification.
    2008-10-15 2.2.2 Amended technical specification to reflect derivation as performed where Instance.MODE is 51, 63 or 64 and added note after to clarify treatment of dormant records and COMDATE.

    2004-03-18 2.1.1 Valid entry changes.
    2003-08-12 1.3.1 NOTACT code 2 included.
    2002-01-14 1.2.1 Code amended to allow for course length
