Colleagues
I have just read the recent SSIN 37/99 concerning SSNs.
It does not say whether a new Student Support Number will be allocated
if a student completes or terminates one 'Period of Study' (which I
understand is what I would call a Programme of Study) and later
registers on another one.
In fact the SSIN specifically says that they will tell us later. I guess
this means they haven't thought it through yet!
This isn't very helpful to those of us enhancing database systems and
need to know which table to add the SSN to. I guess its safest to put it
in the Student Programme Registration table. I would be interested to
know what other IT people in this position are doing.
