PSD - PIR Student

The data reported in the Student submission provides:

• a profile of each student/course/unit of study combination for a reporting year

• the student load (equivalent full time student load or EFTSL) for all units of study undertaken in the reporting year

• the Unit of Study Completions Status for every unit of study undertaken in the reporting year

If a student is undertaking more than one course in the same reporting year there may be more than one record on the student submission for that student.
