Does anyone yet understand how the HESA field MSTUFEE codings will map onto
new-style students who pay at the £3000 rate?
In previous years, for English LEA support, it would have been:
01 - student pays all fees
52 - split: students pays some fees, LEA/SLC pays some fees
02 - LEA/SLC pays all fees.
Under the new scheme for £3000-fee people, where there is no grant support
for Fees, it could be argued that all students will fall into code 01,
whether they seek a Fee Loan or not.
Alternatively, it could be argued that the non-means-tested Fee Loan counts
as a Source of Fee, so that codes 52 or 02 might also apply. But since it
is the student's choice whether or not to ask for a Fee Loan, and for how
much, the resulting data will be somewhat meaningless.
Does anyone know which approach HESA is likely to take?
The HESA web site has only information for 05/06, and consultation for
07/08: there is nothing yet posted for 06/07.
