Collection and usage attributes | |
Guide for use: | The value must represent the aggregated EFTSL for all years of the course of study, assuming that:
If there are multiple entry points to the course of study, the value reported must reflect entry at the lowest possible point (i.e. without any exemptions being granted). Where a student is undertaking a course of study for which another course of study was a pre-requisite, then the EFTSL for the first course of study should not be included as part of the course of study load. |
