ENRF01C0 - Maintain Permanent Resident Codes

Purpose

To allow the creation and maintenance of Permanent Resident Codes

SubSystem

Enrolments
Normally Run By Enrolments Specialist
Anticipated Frequency As required
Structure  Block Permanent Resident Code

  

This form is used to record and maintain the institution defined set of Residency Codes. These are comparable to Government Permanent Resident Codes (DEST element 390) specified in the Data Dictionary of the DEST Manual, but provide for greater flexibility with the ability to subdivide Government Codes and to use more meaningful codes. Each institution defined Residency Code must be mapped to a Government Permanent Resident Code. Permanent Resident Codes identify whether or not a person is a Permanent Resident of Australia and are used for DEST reporting and validation of Student Status.

For example, this function could be used to create meaningful codes for Permanent Residency which would map to the numeric DEST codes as shown in the table below. Refer to the DEST Manual for further information regarding these codes.
