SDR Changes for 4.45

The following changes have been made for 4.45 to support changes to the SDR for 2025 onwards, arising from the TEC Data Systems refresh programme:

  • The fields Discounted Course Tuition Fee and Discounted Compulsory Course Costs Fee have been added to the Curriculum UIO Details page.

  • New curriculum elements have been added to the cloning process.

  • New learner elements have been added to the de-duplication process.

  • New curriculum elements have been added to the roll forward process.

  • Location long description has been increased to 100 characters.

  • References to DSR have been changed to SDR 2025+ to reflect the changes to the process.

  • The logic to populate the Max[ima] exempt fee field (SDR field 1.21) has been updated to handle multi-year enrolment fees.

    • Only fees that have been invoiced are reported.

    • The year element of the fees invoice date must match the SDR reporting year.

    • The fees do not need to be linked to an enrolment to be reported. This is to allow for the reporting of ad-hoc service fees that are Fee Max exempt (such as fees charged to give access to library services, or a general administration fee charged once per year).

Changes for Service Pack 1

The CSV files used to submit SDR 2025+ data to the TEC (Tertiary Education Commission) have been updated to remove non-alphanumeric characters from the column headers. The updated CSV files are as follows:

  • Course Enrolment

  • Course Register

  • Learner

Changes for Service Pack 2

The Learner CSV file used to submit SDR 2025+ data to the TEC (Tertiary Education Commission) has been updated as follows:

  • The Disability Services Accessed Indicator column has been restored to the file.

  • Disabilities that start on or before the current calendar year start date are now included in the file.
