Student Headcount {MISTAB-8}


It is possible for one student to enroll for more than one qualification within a given year. The system will always regard the last qualification for which the student registered in any given year the Primary Qualification. This is user updateable.


Some institutions have the necessity to report on the characteristics of students which could change when the Primary Qualification for a year changes. An example is an institution with first- and second semester enrolments which require the number of students per qualification for each semester. If a student enrolls for a qualification in the first semester, and enrolls again in the second semester, only one of these enrolments (The second semester) will be marked as the Primary Qualification.


This menu option will count the number of students enrolled as per user selection as at the Census Date indicated in {GOPS-1b1} and store the data. If no Census Date is found in {GOPS-1b1}, the system date is used as Census Date.

The intention is that the user will execute this option at regular intervals, for example after each registration period.

The corresponding ORACLE View is named M14v_Student_Headcount and it contains following columns:
 
A.    Request_Detail.  The unique request number, user ID and the generation date (that is the date on which this menu option was run
