Notes

This field should be returned where the student is undertaking a sandwich placement that meets the below definitions.

01 Thick sandwich should be returned where the student is undertaking a placement that causes a continuous absence from full-time study of at least one year of the course.

02 Thin sandwich should be returned where the student is undertaking a placement that does not cause a continuous absence from full-time study of at least one year of the course, but the cumulative total of placements undertaken is 30 weeks or longer. This should only be returned once the student reaches this total.

03 Other placement should be returned where the student is undertaking a sandwich placement, but it does not meet the definition to be recorded as thick or thin (valid entries 01 or 02). 

Any other non-sandwich placements should be returned in the OffVenueActivity entity, but would not be flagged in this field.

Reason Required
