We are pleased to announce that the UCAS Data for HESA Transaction (Star J files) will be available to collect on 21 November.
If you have requested a flat file - this will be available for collection from our FTP server under the following file name convention:
- UCAS - hesuCCC.xxxxxx
- GTTR - hesgCCC.xxxxxx
- CUKAS - hescCCC.xxxxxx
(Where CCC is your provider code and xxxxxx is your security key.)
If you have opted to receive your Star J data via odbc-link or xml-link - the timestamps will be set to 09:00 on 21/11/14.
For your information, the PREVINST field is now using the UKPRN as its coding frame. Currently, only schools in England and Wales are required to register for a UKPRN. This may result in low coverage for students who attended schools in Scotland and Northern Ireland. This is a known issue and HESA are working with Scottish Government and DELNI to improve this coverage.
Additional statistical data (Star X files) are available on request – please email hep_team@ucas.ac.uk.
If you have queries about accessing the Star J files, please email the HEP Team at hep_team@ucas.ac.uk.
