Storing CHESSN Data

PeopleSoft provides the CHESSN Data component (SCC_CHESSN_AUS) through which you can record and store important CHESSN information for individual students. The component can be used preliminarily to store data for each student that you send to HEIMS for the CHESSN allocation process. Once HEIMS allocates provisional CHESSNs, you can record each student's CHESSN number with a Provisional status. Later, when students enroll, you send HEIMS the student's records in a Load-Liability (LL) file. Upon receiving the LL file, HEIMS updates the CHESSN status to Active for all reported students. You can then update the status in your system.

This section discusses how to:

  • Enter CHESSN data.

  • Enter CHESSN Year 12 data.

  • Enter CHESSN previous HEP data.

Note: In addition to manually entering CHESSN data in the CHESSN Data component for students with newly assigned provisional or active CHESSNs, you can receive previously assigned CHESSN numbers for students by way of TAC (Tertiary Admissions Centre) loads. CHESSN values appear on the Personal Data page in the TAC suspense and TAC posting components.

See Understanding TAC Data Load Processing.
