Hi Julie,
I have also received confirmation from DEEWR to 'include any revisions or
corrections to this element that may have occurred since these students were
reported in 2009'.

DataStudentCollection Officers)
Hi Linda
I was not aware that there had been an error on DEEWR's part in loading the
E500 values to HEIMS. This was not mentioned in their latest correspondence
asking us to check and confirm the data. Perhaps this is why there are so
many mismatched records in Period 1. I'm yet to have a good look at Period
2.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
Cheers
Julie

Hi Julie,
Thanks for sending this out it would be good to know how many others are
affected by this and glad that you have also asked for more information from
DEEWR as discussed eg; including citizenship & load data. We have received
three spreadsheets (so far), the third now including load as requested
however the amount of student records has also grown!
Our findings so far are the same as yours ie; offshore students have been
included (E358=5)and Research students who have been awarded scholrships
(E487=2) or different course amounts have been added to a single course, are
a couple of examples.
After contacting DEEWR I can understand why we have been asked to check ALL
records for E500 for students with SSC =310,311. The original email from
DEEWR stated that there were 'inconsistencies in the reporting of fees for
overseas students'. DEEWR have since explained to me that there was an
error in loading the E500 values into HEIMS in 2009 and are checking their
data, also referring me to a communication sent on 31 August 2009. Not sure
if differences found now (due to revision to enrolment) should also be part
of this process and provided to DEEWR (there is no revision process for
changes to data in the EN file) or compare the snapshot at the time of
submission. I have highlighted these differences for now in my version and
will follow up with DEEWR. Have you found this as well in your data?
Work in progress.
Cheers
Linda

StudentCollection Officers)
Dear Colleagues
On 24 June I received a request from DEEWR to confirm E500 Overseas Student
Fee data for each student provided on a spreadsheet for periods 1 and 2 2009
(5500+ students). I am aware of at least a couple of HEPs who have also
been requested to check this data. I am interested to find out if all HEPs
were sent this request.
Investigation of the data found that for our uni, if value of "0" was
displayed in a period it was because a student either had no load or had a
citizenship status of "5" (overseas offshore). As per section 38.1 in the
AIP in most cases we do not report a tuition fee for students with a
citizenship 5 (overseas offshore) as charges are not raised by the student
system.
I wrote back to DEEWR requesting an updated spreadsheet which included
citizenship and EFTSL to assist with the checking process. I am now waiting
for the fifth version of the spreadsheet to be sent as I have found error
after error in each new spreadsheet sent. Errors including incorrect
aggregated amount, particularly where data were reported in multiple terms
in a period, an incorrect amount where student had courses at more than one
location or if the student had a change in program.
You may have already discovered this problem for yourselves however I
thought it was worthwhile mentioning in case you have not commenced checking
the data.
Cheers
Julie
