We actually queried this with HESA today and received the following
confirmation:
Guidance for coding of Major source of tuition fees (MSTUFEE) for
06/7.
For new students (entering under 2006/07 funding arrangements):
Code (01) should cover cases where the student pays the full fees
upfront with no SLC funding.
Code (02) relates to the SLC funding full fees through a fee loan.
Code (52) should be used when there is a mixture of SLC funding and
student contribution (including cases where the SLC pays part fees
and the student pays part fees or receives a part fee loan and where
the SLC pays nil fees and the student pays part fees upfront and
receives a fee loan for the remainder).
For all continuing students (entering under pre-2006/07 funding
arrangements):
Code (01) should be used for cases where the student pays the full
fees upfront with no SLC funding.
Code (02) covers where the SLC fund full fees through a grant, OR a
mixture of SLC grant and SLC loan, OR SLC fund full fees through a
fee loan.
Code (52) relates to cases with a mixture of SLC funding and student
contribution (including cases where (i) the SLC pays part fees and
the student pays part fees or receives a part fee loan and (ii) where
the SLC pays nil fees and the student pays part fees upfront and
receives a fee loan for the remainder).

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.
