CODING NOTES:

The values for E033 (Course CESM) are the values extracted from a record "looked up" in the Course File.  The value for E030 (Course code) in the source record in the Course Registrations File is used as the lookup value to find the record in the Course File which has the same value for E030.  The value of E033 (Course CESM) is then taken from that found record.

Number in this range:

0.00001 to 1.00000

If the value for E024 (Attendance mode) = “C”, then

E579 = VAL(E578(Weighted course credit))  X 0.5

If the value for E024 (Attendance mode) is NOT = “C”, then

E579 = VAL(E578(Weighted course credit))  X 1/3

 

CODING NOTES:

This element is used in calculating the aggregated value for Subsidy Credit when the submission is prior to Submission 2, 2000.

For later submissions, Element 584 (Apportioned weighted course credit, after Sub 1, 2000) is used instead of E579 in  calculating the aggregated value for Subsidy Credit.
