David,
At Loughborough we actively record this information. We have a flag on the programme part which overrides the "Method of Study" assigned to the programme of study.
Previous to this we used to have a separate programme code to distinguish students permitted to study a full-time programme on a part-time basis.
Thanks,
Chris

Subject: Students repeating part time on a full time course
Dear all
We are looking at how we formally record those students who are deemed
to be part time repeating on a full time course for student funding
purposes. At the moment we do not distinguish these in the mode of
attendance field on our student records system, (we use SITS), but this
causes a variety of complications in different areas.
We have always thought that trying to distinguish in this way was more
trouble than it was worth but I have been asked to see what practice is
elsewhere in the sector.
Happy to collate responses if there is sufficient interest.
Regards
David
