Release summary

20/21

16 April 2024

The following changes will take affect when a provider resubmits or when all submissions are reprocessed later this week. Prior to this reprocess we will be reloading the 21056 migrated data into HDP. This is in order to ensure all derived fields are up to date with the latest changes in 21056. In some cases, this may have an impact on rules or derivations in 22056. The table below shows the derived fields that have been updated in 21056 which have a possible impact on 22056.

Derived field in 21056	Potential impact on 22056 derived fields	Potential impact on 22056 quality rules
DerivedSubject	For dormant students in 22056, historic subject information is used. This update fixes an issue in 21056 with allocation of subjects for teacher training students.
Z_TARIFF		QR.STUDENT.EntryProfile.EntryQualificationAward.009 checks for differences in tariff scores between years so could potentially be affected by a change to historic data. The nature of changes in 21056 mean the impact should be low.
Z_INACTDATE	For students dormant from 21056 into 22056, the historic Z_INACTDATE would be used in 22056. This update affects students who had a SessionStatus moving to dormant after the end of their StudentCourseSession in 21056 and were submitted as dormant again in 22056.
Z_POPGO_CYC	Students in the Graduate Outcomes population in 21056 will not be included in the population again for the same Engagement and Qualification in 22056. This update resolves an issue for students will multiple Engagements that fall into the population in different census periods.
Z_STATUSSTART/EDN		QR.STUDENT.Engagement.NUMHUS.001/002/005 check the student's status in the previous reference period so could be impacted by an historic change. These are unlikely to be affected due to the change relating to StudentCourseSessions submitted that end prior to the start of the reference period which should not exist in migrated data.
Z_NOTEND		QR.STUDENT.Engagement.NUMHUS.002/005 check the student's Z_NOTEND in the previous reference period so could be impacted by an historic change.

Quality rules

The following quality rules have been added to the 22056 collection so will apply to providers resubmitting to 22056. These replace manual checks that are raised as part of the credibility checking process in the Issue Management System. They therefore query the same areas but provide feedback as soon as a file is processed rather than needing to wait for manual quality checking.

STUDENT.QualificationSubject.QUALPROPORTION.001.V01
STUDENT.Engagement.StudentCourseSession.007.V01
STUDENT.Engagement.StudentCourseSession.001.V04
STUDENT.Engagement.StudentCourseSession.006.V01

These rules check that QualificationSubject proportions total 100 and that StudentCourseSessions have not been ommitted in error.

In addition, resolution of processing errors has allowed some quality rules to run that were previously erroring in some cases. These may therefore trigger where they did not trigger previously:

STUDENT.Student.SEXORT.004.V02
STUDENT.Student.Engagement.009.V01
STUDENT.Student.ETHNIC.002.V03

Derived fields

Updates have been made to the following derived fields:

Z_MODACTFROM/TO- these dates were previoulsy deriving incorrectly in some cases, this has been resolved. This impacts the DerivedEngagementCostCentre values.
Z_CARELEAVER_EP/Z_RELIGIOUSBGROUND_EP- these derivations were failing to generate in some cases. This issue has been resolved.

Other updates

The Expected Engagement Population has been updated to include students who have an Leaver.ENGENDDATE after the end of the reference period.

08 March 2024

Derived fields

An update has been made to the Z_ENTQUALAGRP1/2 derived fields to resolve an issue with some invalid grades being included.

Other updates

Updates have been made to the quality rules download all report to include a column indicating whether the rule is inside or outside tolerance and remove duplication in columns.
Credibility navigation has been updated so the back button correctly returns the user to the same view on the previous screen.

26 January 2024

This release contains updates to the following derived fields:

Z_STULOADSCS- this derivation has been updated for providers in Scotland to account for cases where SCSENDDATE has been returned but STULOAD is null. This affects a small number of records.
Z_LATESTSCS/Z_LATESTSCSMRK- these derivations have been updated to not include StudentCourseSessions that were returned for activity after the end of the reference period. This affects a small number of reocrds.

Some fixes to the use of historic data in quality rules has caused additional quality rules to run in 22056. As communicated previously, when HESA undertake a reprocessing which has an impact on quality rules within the HDP there is no requirement for a provider to address these issues now appearing in the HDP post sign-off of the 22/23 Student data, unless this is communicated by your funder/regulator. Please contact Liaison if you have any questions.

16 January 2024

This release contains a number of updates to derived fields which are detailed below.

An issue with the COSTCN field not populating in the DerivedEngagementCostCentre enriched file has been resolved.

The SOC2020 field has been added to the StudentEngagement table in the TSV enriched file.

Z_AWARDBOD: This was previously based on the awarding body for the qualification awarded for an Engagement rather than the qualification aim. This has been updated to be based on the qualification aim.
Z_POPGO_CYC: Where an Engagement was in the Graduate Outcomes population in the previous year, they should only be excluded in the current year if they are in the population for the same qualification. They were previously excluded where they were in the previous year's population for a different qualification.
Z_QLEVEL_CYC/RP: An issue with these derived fields not correctly reflecting the Z_QAWARDHMRK value has been resolved. This would have affected Engagements with multiple QualificationAwarded entries in some cases.
Z_STULOAD_CYC: FTE for StudentCourseSessions outside the reference period are now excluded from this derivation. An issue with this incorrectly deriving to 0 in a small number of cases has been resolved.
DerivedSubject: An issue with incorrect subject allocation for dormant ITT students has been resolved. The derivation has been updated to account for cases where the submitted proportions of qualification subjects do not total 100.

These changes will take affect following provider reprocessing starting on 17 January 2024.

21 December 2023

This release contains a number of bug fixes - please see the Known Issues page for details.

13 December 2023

This release contains a number of updates to derived fields which are detailed below along with where these derived fields are used and the potential impact.

Derived field	Description of change	Used in rules/reports	Known impact
Z_STULOADSCS	Update to remove use of historic data as StudentCourseSession FTE would be unreliable in migrated data. Could reduce Z_STULOADSCS for providers in E/NI/S for students with non-standard SCSs.
		QR.STUDENT.SessionStatus.STATUSCHANGEDTO.004.V04	In most cases the impact should be negligible with an overall reduction in the number of records triggering a rule however in some cases, particularly for non-standard and accelerated provision, new records may trigger the rule
		QR.STUDENT.StudentCourseSession.ReferencePeriodStudentLoad.008.V01
		QR.STUDENT.StudentCourseSession.ReferencePeriodStudentLoad.003.V02
		QR.STUDENT.StudentCourseSession.ReferencePeriodStudentLoad.009.V02
		QR.STUDENT.StudentCourseSession.ReferencePeriodStudentLoad.016.V02
		QR.STUDENT.ReferencePeriodStudentLoad.RPSTULOAD.012.V03
		QR.STUDENT.StudentCourseSession.ReferencePeriodStudentLoad.005.V03

		QR.STUDENT.StudentCourseSession.ReferencePeriodStudentLoad.010.V03
		QR.STUDENT.StudentCourseSession.ReferencePeriodStudentLoad.011.V03
		NSS population	No impact- change affects deriavation for E/NI/W, only used in NSS population for Scottish providers.
Z_SUBJFPE	Subject FPE of 0 was being incorrectly assigned to some teacher training subjects. Specification updated to derive to not known where qualification proportions do not total 100. This should not happen and is validated against but agreed where this is the case we don't want to make assumptions about what the correct proportions are and so set to unknown. Increase in FPE for teacher training, decrease where there is poor data quality.	GO2/SUBJ2/SBJ3/SBJF1	Could change subject groupings- no shading rules.
		SBJ1	Could change subject groupings- shading rules which may affect shading rules
		NSS report	Does not affect population but subjects are included in the file which providers may use as part of their checking.
Z_PERMADDCOUNTRY	Issue with this derived field generating where all TTPCODEs are unknown.	QR.STUDENT.EntryProfile.EntryQualificationAward.005.V02	This could impact the number of records triggering the rule
		Used in a large number of credibility reports including GO1, SEN1 PADD1P	Shading rules
Z_QAWARDGMRK/HRK	Updated to use ECF level grouping 8 rather than 7. Will affect students who have multiple qualifications awarded - one first degree and one integrated masters. Small numbers impacted	GO1/2	Should not affect overall numbers.
		QRES1	Could impact on groupings- no shading rules
		QRES1P	Could impact on groupings- shading rules
		EYTS1, QTS1, QRES1, QUAL2P	Could impact on groupings- no shading rules
		ITT2, QRES1P, QUAL1, QUAL2	Could impact on groupings- shading rules
		QR.STUDENT.Engagement.QualificationAwarded.004.V01	No impact- doesn't affect overall numbers in population.
		EYTS1, QTS1, QRES1, QUAL2P	Could impact on groupings- no shading rules
		ITT2, QRES1P, QUAL1, QUAL2	Could impact on groupings- shading rules
Z_ITTQUALMRK	Incorrectly deriving to 0.
Z_ENTQUALAGRP1/2	Updated to exclude some qulifications related to double awards
Z_EXPECTMON/WEEK/EXPECTOMON/WEEK	Updated to ensure they derived to the default 9999 where over the threshold. Affects v. low numbers- 9 records	QR.STUDENT.StudentInitiative.STUINITID.007.V02	Should be no impact- records affected should have a value outside the expected range before and after change
		QR.STUDENT.StudentInitiative.STUINITID.034.V02	Should be no impact- records affected should have a value outside the expected range before and after change
		EXPL1/2	Should be no impact- records affected should fall into the same grouping
		NSS Population	Should be no impact- records affected should fall into the same grouping

13a

1 December 2023

This release contains a number of updates to derived fields which are detailed below along with where these derived fields are used and the potential impact.

Derived field	Description of change	Used in	Known impact
Z_QAWARDGMRK_CYC	Students on courses with a post registration accreditation are now excluded from this marker. Where an Engagement has two qualifications in the same level group, the one identified by this marker should be the one with the highest classification. This was not being correctly derived in some cases and has now been corrected.	Z_GLEVEL_CYC Z_POPGO_CYC GO1/2	Reduction in Engagements in the Graduate Outcomes population for post registration accreditations. This could affect shading rules in the GO1 credibility report.
Z_NOTEND	Updated to take into account where the student suspended study after the end of their latest StudentCourseSession or during an open StudentCourseSession.	QR.STUDENT.Engagement.NUMHUS.002.V01 QR.STUDENT.Engagement.NUMHUS.005.V01 FTE credibility reports Expected Engagement population	More students will be identified as having suspended study. This may impact shading rules in the FTE credibility reports as students will move between columns in the report. Students would be removed from the expected engagement population if they are now identified as suspended.
Z_FEESPECIALSCS/Z_FEESPECIAL	Derived field was previously deriving incorrectly to 01 (non-regulated fee) where NONREGFEE is null. Where the field is null, this will now derive to 02-05 depending on time spent on ERASMUS and overseas.	SPECF1	Students will move between rows in the report. This report does not have shading rules.
Z_FEETOTSCS	Derivation updated to prevent deriving to 0 in the scenario where FEEMETHOD is null, SCSFEEAMOUNT is 0 and MIFEEAMOUNT exists.	QR.STUDENT.StudentCourseSession.ZFEETOTSCS.002.V02 QR.STUDENT.StudentCourseSession.ZFEETOTSCS.007.V02 QR.STUDENT.StudentCourseSession.ZFEETOTSCS.003.V02 QR.STUDENT.StudentCourseSession.ZFEETOTSCS.008.V02 QR.STUDENT.StudentCourseSession.ZFEETOTSCS.010.V02 QR.STUDENT.StudentCourseSession.ZFEETOTSCS.011.V03 QR.STUDENT.StudentCourseSession.ZFEETOTSCS.013.V03 QR.STUDENT.StudentCourseSession.ZFEETOTSCS.014.V02 QR.STUDENT.StudentCourseSession.ZFEETOTSCS.017.V02 QR.STUDENT.StudentCourseSession.ZFEETOTSCS.018.V01 QR.STUDENT.StudentCourseSession.ZFEETOTSCS.022.V03 QR.STUDENT.StudentCourseSession.ZFEETOTSCS.023.V03 QR.STUDENT.StudentCourseSession.ZFEETOTSCS.026.V02 QR.STUDENT.StudentCourseSession.ZFEETOTSCS.039.V02 QR.STUDENT.StudentCourseSession.ZFEETOTSCS.044.V01	In some cases where a value of 0 was previously derived, a positive value may now be derived. This may cause additional validation rules to trigger if the derived fee value is now higher than expected. This change affects a small number of students in a specific scenario.
Z_PRINONUK	Updated to derive to 01 where any PRINONUK = 01 rather than all PRINONUK = 01. Based on the guidance, this scenario should not occur, this update is to account for issues with the return of the data.	Z_POPQUAL_CYC/RP Z_POPSR_CYC- this population is used in a number of credibility reports. Z_POPSES_CYC/RP QR.STUDENT.Engagement.QualificationAwarded.004.V01 QR.STUDENT.Student.ETHNIC.003.V01 QR.STUDENT.Student.ETHNIC.015.V01 QR.STUDENT.Student.ETHNIC.009.V01 QR.STUDENT.Student.ETHNIC.010.V01 QR.STUDENT.Student.ETHNIC.011.V01 NSS population	Students with Z_PRINONUK = 1 are excluded from some key populations so this change may result in a reduction in students in standard populations and NSS. The number of students impacted by this is very low. The majority of providers will be unaffected.
Z_ACTANN_CYC	This derived field determines if there has been activity after the anniversary of the student's start date. It has been updated to not take into account SCSs that start after the end of the RP. These StudentCourseSessions should not be returned but in cases where they are, we will now exclude that activity from the calculation of this derivation.	Z_POPSR_CYC - this population is used in a number of credibility reports.	Some students may be removed from the standard registration population if they were previoulsy included based on StudentCourseSessions after the end of the reference period. This may affect a number of credibility reports and could result in a change to shading rules. The majority of providers will be unaffected by this change. It only affects cases where future StudentCourseSessions have been returned which is not a requirement.
Z_CCFTESCSEND_CYC Z_CCFTE_CYC	Derivation was incorrectly excluding modules where Z_MODACTO = 9999-12-31	CCAnalysis	Increase in values in the CCanalysis report where the derived field was failing to generate previously.
Z_STULOAD_CYC	Updated to ensure that RPSTULOAD returned from a previous or future reference period is not counted.	QR.STUDENT.Student.Engagement.007.V01 QR.STUDENT.StudentCourseSession.ReferencePeriodStudentLoad.012.V QR.STUDENT.StudentCourseSession.ReferencePeriodStudentLoad.013.V01 QR.STUDENT.StudentCourseSession.ReferencePeriodStudentLoad.014.V01 QR.STUDENT.StudentCourseSession.ReferencePeriodStudentLoad.015.V01 NSS population CCAnalysis	Would result in a decrease in values in Z_STULOAD_CYC where FTE for past or future reference periods is being returned.
Z_STATUSSTART/END	Updated to ensure activity that ended prior to the start of the reporting year is not included in deriving the student's status.	Z_NOTEND Z_INACTDATE QR.STUDENT.Engagement.NUMHUS.002.V01 QR.STUDENT.Engagement.NUMHUS.005.V01 FTE credibility reports Expected Engagement population NSS population	More students will be identified as having suspended study. This may impact shading rules in the FTE credibility reports as students will move between columns in the report. Students would be removed from the expected engagement population if they are now identified as suspended. Student would be removed from the NSS population if they are now identified as suspended prior to starting their final year.
Z_POPGO_CYC	In cases with students with multiple Engagements which fall into the population in different census periods- both should be included in the population but previously one was being excluded.	GO1/2	Additional Engagments could come into the Graduate Outcomes population. The numbers affected by this are very low, the majority of providers will be unaffected.
Z_TARIFFMRK	Tariff should deduplicate cases where the student has multiple AE qualifications. Derived field updated to apply this de-duplication.	QR.STUDENT.EntryProfile.EntryQualificationAward.007.V01 QR.STUDENT.EntryProfile.HIGHESTQOE.007.V02 QR.STUDENT.EntryProfile.EntryQualificationAward.005.V02 TAR1/TAR1P	Potential reduction in tariff points for these students. The numbers affected by this are very low, the majority of providers will be unaffected

12a

17 November 2023

This release contains updates to correct issues with three Credibility tables:

ITT4 - this was undercounting engagements with placements
HQOE1 - The population and notes have been updated to restrict to where HIGHESTQOE exists
PADD1 - The population and notes have been updated to restrict to where PERMADDCOUNTRY exists

There have been a number of updates to derived fields in this release which are detailed below. These will take effect for any submissions made following the release and a full reprocess will be undertaken following release 12b in w/c 20 November.

Derived field	Description of change	Used in	Known impact
Z_CCFTE_CYC	The derived field was failing to generate in some cases – no change to the specification	Credibility reports: HCC1 Cost Centre Analysis	The FTE shown in these reports should increase for some providers as a result of this change.
Z_CCFTESCSEND_CYC	The derived field was failing to generate in some cases – no change to the specification	Cost Centre Analysis	The FTE shown in these reports should increase for some providers as a result of this change
Z_INACTDATE	The derived field has been updated to account for students that go dormant after the end of a StudentCourseSession	NSS population	This update will remove some students from the NSS population if they went dormant after the end of their latest StudentCourseSession and prior to their final year.
Z_TARIFF	The derivation has been updated for cases where the student has IB and multiple IX/IC qualifications in the same subject to allow only one of each of the IX/IC qualifications to be included in the tariff calculation	QR.STUDENT.EntryProfile.EntryQualificationAward.007.V01 QR.STUDENT.EntryProfile.HIGHESTQOE.007.V02 QR.STUDENT.EntryProfile.EntryQualificationAward.005.V02 Credibility reports: TAR1 TAR1P	This update will potentially reduce the number of students with 0 tariff points. For the credibility reports that use this field this could affect the shading rules. For the quality rules there is potential that this could trigger the following two rules where these students now fall into coverage: QR.STUDENT.EntryProfile.EntryQualificationAward.007.V01 QR.STUDENT.EntryProfile.HIGHESTQOE.007.V02 The number of records triggering the following rule may reduce as a result of this change: QR.STUDENT.EntryProfile.EntryQualificationAward.005.V02
Z_ACTRP	The derived field has been updated to ensure StudentCourseSessions which finished prior to, or start after, the end of the reference period are not taken into account. These are not required to be submitted by providers but we are aware some are returning this so we need the derived field to account for this.	QR.STUDENT.EntryProfile.CARELEAVER.008.V03 QR.STUDENT.EntryProfile.CARELEAVER.017.V02 QR.STUDENT.EntryProfile.CARELEAVER.019.V02 QR.STUDENT.EntryProfile.PARED.009.V03 QR.STUDENT.EntryProfile.PARED.011.V03 QR.STUDENT.EntryProfile.PARED.013.V02 QR.STUDENT.EntryProfile.PARED.015.V02 QR.STUDENT.FundingAndMonitoring.ELQ.003.V04 QR.STUDENT.Student.ETHNIC.012.V04 QR.STUDENT.Student.ETHNIC.013.V03 QR.STUDENT.Student.STUDEP.003.V02 Credibility reports: FTE1ENW_N FTE1ENW_S FTE2ENW_N FTE2ENW_S FTE3ENW FTE1S_N FTE1S_S FTE2S_N FTE2S_S FTE3S HCC1 Cost Centre Analysis	The update should reduce the number of Engagements derived as “active”. In most cases this should reduce the number of records triggering quality rules however for the rules listed in the previous column this could increase the number where you have this particular scenario. The derivation is also used in Z_POPSES_RP and may remove some records from this population. As a result you may see a reduction in the number of records shown in the Credibility tables and additional collection reports shown in the column on the left.
Z_SBJ	Updated to ensure that where there are no StudentCourseSessions included in the submission the subject is retrieved from the latest historic StudentCourseSession	Credibility reports: GO2 NSS	For the GO2 Credibility table there may be a change to the numbers shown in the table for PGR students as these can be included in the GO population at a dormant status. This field isn’t used to define the NSS population but is provided to support quality assurance.
Z_ITTGRP1	This field has been updated to use historic data where no StudentCourseSession is submitted	Credibility reports: EYTS1 QTS1	Providers may see an increase in student numbers in these tables as students awarded from dormant status are included.
Z_ITTMRK	This field has been updated to use historic data where no StudentCourseSession is submitted	N/A	N/A
Z_ITTQUALMRK	This field has been updated to use historic data where no StudentCourseSession is submitted	N/A	N/A
