Academic Level

Upload Extract Data page: Course Details

XML Tag: <AcademicLevel>

Mandatory: Yes

Pages Used:

Page	Page Element
CAS Details	Academic Level

Derivation Steps:

1. Derive from the CAS Details record. Derive as the short name (XLATSHORTNAME) from the Translate Values table (PSXLATITEM), for SAD_PB_ACAD_LEVEL.

There are page elements that have translate values. For example, translate values Presessional B1 and Presessional B2 for the Academic Level page element on the CAS Details page. The Create Extract process derives the field value as short name (XLATSHORTNAME) from these page elements. For example, suppose you have defined an academic level translate value on the CAS Details page as Presessional B1 which has a short name of B1. In such a case, the Create Extract Data process derives the Academic Level field value as B1.

If a Message Number is found for the short name, derive as the message text. If the message is not in the Message Catalog (set number 14260), derive the field as MESSAGE NOT FOUND.

Note:

The system sets the default Academic Level value on the CAS Details page based on the COURSEAIM defined on the Plan HESA Data, Program HESA Data, or Sub-Plan HESA page. The order in which COURSEAIM is checked: Plan HESA Data page first, then Program HESA Data page and finally Sub-Plan HESA page. The system defaults the NQF level using the first letter of the COURSEAIM value as follows:

D — Doctoral — NQF Level 8

M — Masters — NQF Level 7

H — Honours —NQF Level 6

I — Intermediate — NQF Level 5

C — Certificate — NQF Level 4

You can change this default value on the CAS Details page.
