This form records and validates CHESSN's (Commonwealth Higher Education Student Support Number). This function enables the storage and validation of Person CHESSN details and the submission of real-time requests for CHESSN allocation or retrieval from the HEIMS database.

For a Glossary of Terms, see the end of this document.

CHESSN's are mandatory for:

  • Applicants applying for Commonwealth Support Places
  • Australian or New Zealand Citizens and Holders of an Australian permanent Visa applying for Undergraduate courses, Graduate entry degrees, Honours programs, some Postgraduate Course work programs and Courses offered in joint degree arrangements
  • Students with Commonwealth Learning Scholarships
  • Students seeking access to Commonwealth assistance

This excludes:

  • Research Courses supported by Research Training Schemes
  • International Studies
  • Domestic full fee paying students

Note: Creating a record in the person_chessn table implies that consent has been given by the student to transfer person details to HEIMS.

CHESSN records will require maintenance from time to time as a result of predefined events. The following are events that could trigger maintenance of a person's CHESSN:

  • A person changes their Citizenship Code
  • A person is found to have multiple Person ID's in either
    • The institution's SMS
    • HEIMS
  • A person discontinues a course before incurring load
  • A person changes their financial arrangements for a unit of study
  • A student defers or takes intermission from a course before incurring load and has a provisional CHESSN
  • CHESSN activation
  • CHESSN anomalies.

Lamps ‘REQUESTED’/‘NOT RECORDED’. These lamp will display:

  • ‘NOT RECORDED’ When a person has a PERSON_CHESSN record but the CHESSN has not yet been obtained
  • ‘REQUESTED’ when the person’s record is included in a current request to HEIMS. A current request indicates that the person data has been collected and sent to HEIMS, but a response has not been received and processed . For example, a HEIMS_TRANSACTION record exists where the HEIMS request has a STATUS that does not equal COMPLETED or FAILED.

For further information see Person CHESSN Detail History (AUDF3192), Batch CHESSN Allocation Results (ADMJ3910), or CHESSN Allocation Report (ADMR3910).
