Setup and Run NSW NESA Export Files

Important!

The data format produced by this program's export function has been developed without access to formal guidelines from the NSW Education Standards Authority.

This program has, therefore, been produced based on information provided by a few NSW schools.

It is important that you independently verify that the data contained in the files produced by this program meets the NSW Board requirements (e.g. send a test file to them for verification).

Please contact Software Support if you have any information to help us develop these extracts.

Step	Menu Path	Details	✅
1	TASS.web Student Records > Setup Information > Countries/Languages/ResStatus.	Enter 'Residency Status' data. Examples (unconfirmed; please independently verify with NSW NESA): AC (Australian Citizen) PRA (Permanent Resident of Australia) NACPR (Not Australian or Permanent resident) Important! The actual code that is used in the export file is taken from the 'Exp Code' field not the 'Code' field. This has been done to allow for a bit of 'future proofing' in case the required codes change.	🔲
