Guide for use: | Combined courses must be assigned a substantive field of education (i.e. spaces or all zeros are not valid). Report six zeroes for courses other than combined courses, even though some single-award courses may have dual strands. Field of education code is to be used to indicate the primary field of education for the course and will be the element used in tables where continuity of statistical reporting is essential. |
