Notice No. 169/2010 - 19 November 2010

Principals/Directors should ensure that amendments to student address and personal details and students without programs are actioned by 26 November

1. STUDENT ADDRESS AND PERSONAL DETAILS INFORMATION
This is the final date for amendments to student address and personal details. This is very important for Year 12 students or any students undertaking a VCE or Scored VCE VET Unit 3 and 4 study as final results will be posted to the address as recorded on VASS as at 26 November 2010.

After this date, the VCAA will not accept amendments to address and student personal details including consent for the release of information. If students address changes after this date, they should be advised to arrange for their mail to be redirected to their new address.

NOTE: A list of student names and addresses may be produced using the menu STUDENT ADMIN→Other Student Reports→ Personal Details Summary and select Yes for Include Address?

2. YEAR 10 STUDENTS WITHOUT PROGRAMS
Schools are also advised to run the ‘Students Without Programs’ report for Year 10 students using the menu: STUDENT PROGRAM → Student Program Enquiries Reports → Students Without Programs. 

With the exception of Year 10 students with the course type PDO (Personal Details Only), this report identifies those students who do not have a current academic program of study.

PLEASE NOTE: Any Year 10 students with a Student Number commencing with 10 appearing on the ‘Students Without Programs’ report do so because their Course Code has been set to VCE. If these students are not undertaking a VCE, VET or VCAL program this year then their Course Code should be changed to PDO (Personal Details Only) using the menu STUDENT ADMIN→ Change Student Course Code.

This is important as VASS will allow Year 10 students with the Course Code PDO to be rolled over to VCE Year 11 in 2011 but will NOT be rolled over into 2011 if their Course Code is VCE and they do not have an academic program of study this year.
