Predicted student load(PREDICTEDSTULOAD)

All StudentCourseSessions at providers in Scotland where StudentCourseSession.STULOAD does not exist, except where (SessionStatus.STATUSCHANGEDTO = 02 for the entire reference period) or (Leaver.ENGENDDATE - Engagement.ENGSTARTDATE <= 14 days and RSNENGEND = 03, 05, 11, 12).
 

This field records the estimated FTE for the full StudentCourseSession.

This figure should be updated throughout the StudentCourseSession if the student's predicted FTE changes. For example if part way through the StudentCourseSession a student decided to take an additional module on top of their expected modules, the StudentCourseSession.PREDICTEDSTULOAD would be increased.

The actual FTE completed by the student during the StudentCourseSession must be recorded in the StudentCourseSession.STULOAD once the StudentCourseSession has ended. The StudentCourseSession.PREDICTEDSTULOAD field is not required when the StudentCourseSession has ended (StudentCourseSession.SCSENDDATE is returned). 

For students who are studying outside the UK throughout their Engagement but are returned in the Student record as they will spend more than 8 weeks in the UK during their Engagement (PRINONUK = 01) PREDICTEDSTULOAD must reflect only that part of the course undertaken in the UK.
