[Unistats] HECS Due file and addresses

[Roni McDowell]

Dear Rob,

Perhaps I am getting old but surely it is a legal requirement of the HECS system that the student provides their address to the tax office?  Also don't they want to get their results?  We have many missing addresses, but this is due to laziness by the students or Faculty not because they don't want us to have it.

Kidding aside, when we have had a handful of students without addresses we enter the address of their home department as a reference point.

Dear Colleagues,

We've got a handful of students who do not wish to have their
residential and/or postal addresses entered into our student reocrd
system for various legitimate reasons. As a consequence, FATAL errors
3043 and/or 3042 (postcode invalid) are generated from the HECS Due
file.

Entering the addresses manually into the file may be one solution.

I was wondering whether other Unis have similar students and, if so,
how you go about avoiding these errors without doing a "Booth" i.e.
making up the data!



Many thanks
Rob
