Notes |
This field identifies the credit scheme that will give value to the CRDPTSTU field. As this field captures the number of credit points the student is being allowed to count towards their current study, we would usually expect the credits to be translated into the credit schemes recognised by the current provider. If credits gained by students overseas are converted to CATS or ECTS to be used for the student’s current study, 01 or 02 would be returned as appropriate and EntryProfile.CRDPTSTU would record the credit value in CATS or ECTS. Valid entry 90 should include provider's own credit schemes, or instances where credits do not translate into CATS or ECTS schemes recognised by providers. |
