Describes a credit point transfer scheme to which the module belongs.
Notes
Credit accumulation and transfer schemes allow students to collect credit for work already completed, if they decide to terminate their study before achieving a complete award. If and when they resume their studies, not necessarily at the same provider, they may be able to carry forward the credits from their previous study.Valid entry 91 must not be returned by providers in Wales.
Reason Required
This attribute aids interpretation of Module.CRDTPTS and Module.LEVLPTS. Whilst it is not expected that many HEPs will operate numerous different credit scheme this can happen in certain cases. In addition many Modules are likely to sit out with the credit schemes operated by the HEP. It is therefore appropriate to collect the Credit Scheme at a modular level.
