Curriculum Accreditation

Child Entities: None

Each entity is uniquely identified by the Accreditation ID. Although Valid From is part of the key, this is not used in the comparison.

In cases where multiple entities were previously reported and one or more no longer apply, extract entities are created with Entity Status of Amended and Valid To populated.

Fields

For each Curriculum Accreditation field extract record for the return with a Derived Value, the record is compared with the corresponding submitted data (MST) record:

  • If the Derived Value of the field is NULL ERROR, set Field Status to Error.

  • If the combination of Institution, Course ID, Accreditation ID and Field doesn't exist in the submitted data record, set Field Status to New.

  • If the Reported Value in the extract is different from the Reported Value in the most recent submitted data record, set Field Status to Amended.

  • Set Field Status to Unchanged, that is, Reported Value in the extract is the same as in the most recent submitted data record.

Entities

For each Curriculum Accreditation entity extract record for the return, the record is compared with the corresponding submitted data (MST) record:

  • If at least one field has Field Status of Error, set Entity Status to Error.

  • If the combination of Institution, Course ID, and Accreditation ID doesn't exist in the submitted data record, set Entity Status to New.

  • If there are one or more Field extract records with Field Status of New Amended, set Entity Status to Amended.

  • set Entity Status to Unchanged, that is, either there are no fields or all the fields have Field Status of Unchanged.

  • For any existing entities in extract where the Initiative ID for the entity doesn't appear in the submitted data record and Valid To is blank, create a new entity using the Accreditation ID with entity status of Amended.

    New field extract records are created for CURACCID and CURACCVALIDFROM using the values from extract with Field Status of Unchanged. A field extract record is created for CURACCVALIDTO with Derived Value set to the reporting period start date in YYYY-MM-DD format and Field Status of New. If the derived CURACCVALIDTO date is before the CURACCVALIDFROM date, the value is set to the same value as CURACCVALIDFROM.
