AGE GROUP CATEGORY back to Glossary
The age group business rule defines how ages will be grouped
together for aggregated reporting. This age group rollup has
changed in 2005, however functionality still exists to build an age
group based on pre 2005 or 2005 methodology. In both cases the
student age will be calculated via the following formula: (Submission
Year -1) – Year of Student Birth.

TYPE OF ATTENDANCE back to Glossary
Attendance is classified by the Higher Education Provider as being
full-time or part-time based on the student load for the student
aggregated across all units of study (including work experience in
industry units) for all courses being undertaken by the student in the
Collection Year:
- Full-time student load aggregated for all the courses being
undertaken by the student in the Collection Year is 0.75 or more.
- Part-time student load aggregated for all the courses being
undertaken by the student in the Collection Year is less than 0.75.

Fields of Education back to Glossary
The classification describes field of education groupings at three
levels. The levels are as follows:
Level I: broad fields of education (2 digit code).
Level II: narrow fields of education (4 digit code including the
relevant Level I code).
Level III: detailed fields of education (6 digit code including the
relevant Level I and Level II codes).
A broad field of education is a grouping of narrow fields of education;
a narrow field of education is a grouping of detailed fields of
education.
The classification uses the concept of vocational emphasis for coding
courses and specialisations. Field of education groupings of courses
and specialisations are on the basis of similarity of potential
vocations rather than similarity of content.

Commencing or Continuing enrolment classification.
A student is a commencing student if they have enrolled in the
course for the first time at the higher education provider or an
antecedent higher education provider between 1 January of the
Collection Year and 31 December of the Collection Year. (An
antecedent higher education provider means a higher education
provider which has merged with the higher education provider at
which the student's enrolment continues.)
Students of the following types are not to be classified as
commencing students:
students who are starting a specialised program of studies
after completing, at the institution or an antecedent
institution, a common initial year or years of a general
program;
students who, having completed an initial year of study at
the institution or an antecedent institution then exercise a
standard option of continuing their studies but at a lower
level (i.e. their studies would then lead to an award at a
level lower than that which pertains to the program of
studies undertaken in the first year);
students who move from course to course within a course
of study;
students who are admitted to or transfer to a bachelor's
honours course of study having previously been enrolled,
at the higher education provider or an antecedent higher
education provider, in the related bachelor's pass course
of study; back to Contents

combined course to the second or later components;
students resuming a combined course which normally

award for another course of study;
students who have completed part of the requirements of
a combined course of study at the institution and then
change their enrolment to one of the components of that
combined course of study;
students who have completed part of the requirements of

their enrolment to a related combined course of study
which leads to an award or awards that subsume the
award applicable to the unitary course of study; and

from one course strain to another course strain, where the
course leads to the same award. (e.g. a student who
