SPECIAL NOTE:

This file (ADV4200a) is a three part series of files for ADVF4200. This file explains the first screen (ADV4200a) the user sees, without explaining the two buttons (Unit Details and Unit Level Details) at the bottom of the screen. The two following files (ADV4200b) explains the screens that appear after selecting the Unit Details button, and (ADV4200c), explains the screens that appear after selecting the Unit Level Details button. Both these buttons appear in the bottom block of ADVF4200.

It is here that Advanced Standing records can be created, updated and deleted.

Advanced Standing details transferred from Create ACAI (Admission Course Application Instance) Advanced Standing Details (ADVF2000) as a result of the pre-enrolment process can also be viewed and maintained here. The user can, if data exists, switch between the two forms (ADVF4200 and ADVF2000) via a navigation button. Lamps indicate if data exists in both forms.

Person block

This is the context block and displays details of the student whose Advanced Standing, Course Attempt details are displayed in the block below. When this form is invoked via the button in another form (for example, Record Enrolments form), the information displayed here is for the same student as selected in that form and no other student's record can be queried. When this form is invoked via a different method, queries can be performed in this block.

For example, from the Record Enrolments form (ENRF3000), Advanced Standing details can be recorded or modified for the student selected there by selecting the Adv Standing button and invoking this form. When Advanced Standing is being recorded or checked outside Enrolment processing it is quicker to access this form directly from a menu and query the required students' records here.

Student Course Attempt Advanced Standing block

Advanced Standing is granted for a student's specific Course Attempt, although the basis for granting Advanced Standing in one Course Attempt may also be applicable to other Course Attempts. This block is used to record and display the Course Attempts for which Advanced Standing has been granted. It also displays summary details of the Advanced Standing. Advanced Standing details for a Student's Course Attempt(s) can be recorded for Specific Units (Advanced Standing Unit), or for Unit Levels (Advanced Standing Unit Level).

For example, when Advanced Standing is granted, it is granted for a particular Course Attempt of a student. With the student's details displayed in the Person block, the Course Attempt in which Advanced Standing is granted is displayed or can be recorded in this block.

When defining an Advanced Standing the user can select from Granting Statuses (Granting Status) of: APPROVED ASSESSING, CANCELLED, DECLINED, GRANTED, NOT-APPRVD and REVOKED.

For further insights on the different Granting Status and Dates, see below.

For insights on Advanced Standing see 'Understanding Advanced Standing (ADVINTR3)'. For a glossary of terms, see 'Advanced Standing Glossary (ADVINTR2)'.

This form is accessed from Direct Admissions Course (ADMF3240), Record Enrolments (ENRF3000), Create ACAI Advanced Standing Details (ADVF2000) or the main menu.

Rules/Notes:

Adding a Course Attempt record here will permit Unit and/or Unit Level details of the Advanced Standing to be recorded.

The Find Person button is only enabled on direct entry from the main menu.

The Percentage of Course Requirements Granted is a derived field which cannot be edited. The value in this field is reported as Element 565 in the Higher Ed Student Enrolment file (EN) and the VET Student Enrolment file (VEN).

The Major Exemption Institution field is a 'read-only' field.

The 'Major Exemption Institution' value is calculated as the institution with the greatest number of 'GRANTED' HE credit points (recorded on the Unit details and Unit Level Details screens), regardless of whether or not the institution is a DIISRTE-approved HE provider. In cases where multiple institutions are found, the value in the Default Major Exemption Institution field on form ADVF1110 is used to calculated the Major Exemption Institution value.

No value will be shown in the 'Major Exemption Institution' field if no institution code was entered (for the Advanced Standing), the course is a VET course, or no credits were granted.

When the Government Credit Basis is 200 or 300, the Major Exemption Institution, VET Field of Education, VET Level Detail and Government VET Provider must be specified.

Closed values for VET Level Detail, VET Field of Education, Government Credit Basis or Government VET Provider Type cannot be selected.

The VET Field of Education cannot be set to a value where the Government Field of Education is NULL.

When a student has multiple Unit or Unit Level records for multiple VET qualifications or periods of study for a course, the Government VET Provider type specified should be the one that contributed the most credit.

The Government Credit Basis Code value should be the Advanced Standing contributing the most towards the Total Credit of the course.

When specifying the VET study and the student has more than one VET qualification (or period of study), the VET Level Details should be recorded for whichever qualification or study contributed the most credit.

The three buttons at the base of the main screen; ADM Advanced Standing, Unit Details and Unit Level Details have a (+) or (-) sign next to them. If a record exists a (+) sign is displayed. If no record exists a (-) is displayed. In the case of the Adm Advanced Standing button, a (+) is displayed if Advanced Standing exists for any of the context Person's Admission Course Application Instance records.

For details of the Unit Details button - Advanced Standing Unit, see ADV4200B.

For details of the Unit Level Details button - Advanced Standing Unit Level, see ADV4200C.

SCA Advanced Standing Unit and SCA Advanced Standing Unit Level Blocks

(Note: These blocks are accessed via the Unit Details button (explained in ADV4200b) and via the Unit Level Details button (explained in ADV4200C).

The Unit Code (LOV) under the SCA Advanced Standing Unit block allows for a unit to be 'ACTIVE', 'EXPIRED' or 'INACTIVE'. If an 'INACTIVE' (end-dated) unit version is selected as Advanced Standing, a warning message asks if you want to proceed. Selecting the ‘Yes’ button, returns the user to data entry mode and enables the addition of another unit or saving of the record. Selecting the ‘No’ button will cause the unit to be cleared.

The 'Crs Grouped' check box has no system functionality. It is used for local development reports, for example, to determine how many units of a course a student has undertaken.

LAMPS

Lamps can appear, depending on the record, to the right of the Student Course Attempt Advanced Standing block title. They are:

Admission Advanced Standing Exists - this displays when Admission Course Application Instance Advanced Standing exists in ADVF2000 for the context Student Course Attempt.

Validations include:

Records can be created with a Granting Status of GRANTED.
Records can be changed from a Granting Status of EXPIRED, CANCELLED or REVOKED to anything other than APPROVED.
When setting the Granting Status to APPROVED or GRANTED the 'Authorised By' field must be populated. Setting it to anything else means this field cannot be populated.
Once the authorising Person ID is populated (by setting the Granting Status to APPROVED or GRANTED) it cannot be deleted.
The Advanced Standing Origin must be from the same institution as the Advanced Standing Exemption institution.
Cannot change the Advanced Standing Unit Exemption institution while the child origin records exist.
Can only record 'Not Approved' comments when status is NOT-APPRVD.
Can only record 'Declined' comments when the status is DECLINED.
Year Completed/Year Last Enrolled cannot be later than the current year.
No Status date can be before the Creation date.
If an End-dated (INACTIVE) Unit Version is recorded as Advanced Standing, a warning message is displayed and a Yes/No popup is used to determine further processing.
Only valid combinations of System Advanced Standing Source, Provider Outcome Identifier and Granting Status can be used for a Unit Code.
Only valid combinations of System Advanced Standing Source, Provider Outcome Identifier and Granting Status can be used at Unit Level.

Granting Status

(Note: This section is explained in ADV4200b.)

Depending on what Granting Status is selected, the area after the 'Created' field in the Admin Details Tab dynamically changes. For example, if ASSESSING was selected as a Granting Status, then the area after the 'Created' date field in the Admin Details Tab would have an 'Assessing' date field added. The matrix below shows what field/s are displayed, when different Granting Statuses are selected.

The Granting Status defaults to a value defined in the Maintain System Advanced Standing Granting Status (ADVF1180) upon creation of new Advanced Standing records.

Granting Status	Different Date Fields Displayed in the Admin Details tab
ASSESSING	Created	Assessing	.	.
APPROVED	Created	Approved	Granted	Expiry
GRANTED	Created	Approved	Granted	.
CANCELLED	Created	Approved	Granted	Cancelled
EXPIRED	Created	Approved	Granted	.
REVOKED	Created	Approved	Granted	Revoked
DECLINED	Created	Approved	Granted	Declined
NOT-APPRVD	Created	Not Approved	.	.

The Origin Course and Origin Unit records are not related (even though they are created in one form), therefore, when entering data in one, the other does not need to be populated.

Advanced Standing Origins are maintained in the form, Maintain Advanced Standing Origin (ADVF1190).

Note: Data from the Origin Course Code field in the Origin Course Tab or Origin Unit Code field in the Origin Unit Tab are found in one table, the Advanced Standing Origin Instance Table (ADV_STND_ORIGIN_INSTANCE).

The Status Dates Tab displays dates set in other blocks and tabs of this form. Information displayed cannot be updated in this tab.

The name of the Expired field (located under the 'Status Dates' Tab in the ACAI Advanced Standing Unit block) displays as 'Expired' if current status is expired. Otherwise it displays as 'Expiry'.

The Comments Tab

It is here an institution can make specific comments on why a student's Advanced Standing is approved or not approved. The comments should be added to the appropriate Unit/Unit Level.

To enquire on the Advanced Standing details of a student other than the one initially displayed:

Enter Query mode.
Enter the ID number of the required student in the Person ID field. (A query can be performed using name details as query criteria, however, this is not recommended as an efficient method to retrieve records in this form.)
Execute the query.

Rules/Notes:

A query cannot be performed in this block if the form was invoked via the button in the Record Enrolments form.

To record Advanced Standing Course Attempt details for a student using the Create Advanced Standing Details form - Student Advanced Standing screen:

Ensure that the correct student record is displayed in the Person block.
Navigate to the Student Course Attempt Advanced Standing block.
Either:
- Select the previously recorded Course Version to which the advance standing applies, or
- Enter Insert mode.
Select the required Course Version from the list of values in the Course field (or key valid values in the Course and Version fields) of a blank record.
Save.
Navigate to the Unit Details or Unit Level Details screens to continue entering details.
The area at the bottom of this form displays derived and defaulted information. This is described in Rules, opposite.

Rules/Notes:

Advanced Standing records can only be added to Student Course Attempts with the Statuses ENROLLED, UNCONFIRM, INACTIVE and INTERMIT. (But not DISCONTIN OR LAPSED.)

'Total Approved CP', 'Advanced Standing Granted CP', 'Duplicate Units CP', 'Total Granted CP' and 'Percentage of Course Requirements Granted' fields contain derived values. (How they are derived is explained in the Subsystem Glossary.) Where no Unit or Unit Level details are recorded for the Advanced Standing record, their values will all be zero.

The Major Exemption Institution fields are also derived (see Subsystem Glossary), but where no Unit or Unit Level details are recorded for the Advanced Standing record, the value in these fields is null.

VET course details can be entered using the following fields, if required:

Percentage of Course Requirements Granted
Major Exemption Institution (read-only)
Government Credit Basis (LOV)
VET Field of Education (LOV)
VET Level Detail (LOV)
Government VET Provider (LOV)
