Student management systems · a Quality Agency service

Most reporting failures are not reporting failures. They are data quality failures that surface at reporting time.

Student management system setup, AVETMISS reporting and the data quality work that prevents a reporting failure.

IWhat it is

Student management systems.

Student management system setup, AVETMISS reporting and the data quality work that prevents a reporting failure. We work with the organisation you actually are, not the one the policy manual describes, because the gap between those two is usually where the problem lives.

IIWhat is included

Three things, done properly.

i

System setup

Configured so the fields AVETMISS requires are captured at enrolment, not reconstructed at year end.

ii

AVETMISS reporting

Validation, submission and correction of the reports, including the errors that recur every cycle.

iii

Data quality

Finding the bad records while they can still be fixed by asking the student.

IIIWhat goes wrong

The two failures we see most.

Neither of these is exotic. Both are common enough that it is worth checking your own arrangements against them before anyone else does.

USI and identity mismatches

A name that does not match the USI record blocks certification, and it is discovered at the worst moment.

Reconstructing at year end

Data gathered months late is data gathered from memory, and it does not survive checking.

Start a conversation.

Tell us what has happened, or what you think is about to. Either is a reasonable place to start.
