Create File For First Destination Returns {HEA-7}
Students who graduate and leave the institution are asked to fill in a
survey questionnaire. This option creates an ASCII file according the
specific fixed format required by the survey. This is called the First
Destination Returns.
The ASCII (flat file) contains the following information about each student:
-
Student Number
- Questionnaire
- Reporting Institution’s HEA Code
- Reporting Institution’s HEA Type
- Academic Year (input year)
- FDR Indicator (First Destination Returns Indicator: Y if student graduated, N if student did not graduate)
- End date of Academic Block (on qualification enrolment)
- Surname
- First Names
- Study Address (5 lines)
- Home Telephone Number
- HEA Origin Code
- HEA Country Code
- HEA Nationality Code
- HEA Nationality/Country Code
- Birthdate
- Gender
- HEA Socio-Economic Category Code
- Description of Approved ID of Qualification
- Award Specification
- Subjects (4)
- Faculty Code
- Qualification Code
- Result Code (on qualification enrolment)
- Offering Type
- Funding Code
An ASCII file will be created with the filename and directory path
supplied as input parameter. The report will, however, also give an
output file, listing information about the number of students selected,
as well as the number of validation errors encountered while creating
the file. Note that these errors affect the correctness of the file
and the user is therefore encouraged to study them carefully. If the
file contains many errors, the user should correct the errors and then
recreate the file.
All graduates of the institution are
included. According to the selection parameter, a student will count
as a Graduate (FDR indicator = ‘Y’) either if his/her graduation record
carried the Academic Year of the selection parameter or if the Decision
Date falls within 1 January and 31 December of the given Academic Year.
