Explanation

This form is used to record and maintain the set of Government Language Codes. Universities are required to report to Government, for each student, the main non-English language spoken at the student's permanent home residence. The codes for reporting this data are specified in the HEIMS manual (element 348). Where a set of institution defined Language Codes has been defined (ENRF0130), each must be mapped to a particular Government Language Code.
