Star J file preparations

The Star J file for the 2014 cycle is planned for release in mid-November.

Posted Wed 5 November 2014

The Star J file for the 2014 cycle is planned for release in mid-November. The file provides data on every individual accepted at each university or college and is used for annual HESA returns. The data also forms part of the Student Record required by HESA and some providers in England use the file to support HEFCE returns.

In preparation for the release of these files, we will be deploying some changes into our production environment which can be viewed in the technical changes document
