Coding notes
In the collection the code assigned to each academic organisational unit must uniquely identify it within the institution and must remain unchanged from year to year, unless otherwise agreed with the Department of Employment, Education and Training.
It is important that institutions use the same academic organisational units (and code names) in the student load, staff and finance collections.
