Hi Sharon,

We have been reporting them as early completers.  We have developed an excel report from our Student Information System which lists all our tier 4 graduates along with their visa end dates.  We then use this to filter and report any early completers.

Subject: Tier 4 Early Completions



Hi,



I've tried to find information on the above but have drawn a blank.  I would be grateful if you could tell me how you deal with Tier 4 students who entered the institution on a 4 year course (e.g. on an undergraduate masters) but they decided to transfer to a 3 year course and complete early.  Their CAS would obviously have an end date a year later.  We are being told that even though we would report a course transfer and provide the new end date this is not enough and that we now also have to report them as early completions at the point they leave.  If this is something only we have missed please let me know how you pick up someone who had a course transfer in their 1st year as an early leaver at least 2 years later.  Obviously I don't want to have to check every graduate who was on a 3 year course



I would be really grateful for any input on this one.



regards
