There are two new fields that will be required to be reported for SDR and they have been added into Tuple to help you be ready for your 2019 reporting:
1. Fees Free Eligible - Is the Learner eligible for Fees Free funding?
Y – Yes
N – No
U – Unknown
2. Fees Free Total - Indicating the total fee for the collection year^, inclusive of GST, for an individual Learner (domestic). It is the sum of the following three components:
Tuition fees
Compulsory course cost fees
Student services fees + any other compulsory fees
IMPORTANT NOTES:
^This Total Fees value must only contain fees for the collection year and not the fees for the entire qualification that could span multiple years
Hence we have opted initially for a new field allowing the provider to enter a Total Fee charged for a Learner in a specific year, i.e. Total Fees 2019
How to Update/Edit the new fields for an individual Learner
Navigate to Tuple > Learners
Search for the relevant Learner and Click Personal Details
Scroll to the Fees Free section of the page to update/edit the following new fields:
Eligibility
Total Fees 2018 – (Optional for your 2018 reporting)
Total Fees 2019 – (Compulsory from 2019)
