Glossary <strong>of</strong> Terms used in the Key performance Indicators<br />

Census<br />

The student-based information gathered on the College Management Information System (CMIS) and provided to the <strong>Western</strong><br />

Australian Department <strong>of</strong> Education and Training (WADT) periodically and at the conclusion <strong>of</strong> the academic year as specifi ed in<br />

the Delivery and Performance Agreement. The census has a formal set <strong>of</strong> Business Rules, complies with the Australian Vocational<br />

Education and Training Information Statistical Standards (AVETMISS) and is the source <strong>of</strong> the measures <strong>of</strong> target achievement<br />

for the College. Delivery is measured in Student Curriculum Hours (SCH).<br />

The following categories <strong>of</strong> activity do not produce SCH and are excluded from the census:<br />

> exam only (no tuition) enrolments<br />

> enrolments which commenced prior to 1 January <strong>of</strong> the calendar year or which were reported in a previous full year collection<br />

> exemptions<br />

> unsupervised fi eld placements<br />

> module enrolments in which no attendance or submission <strong>of</strong> work are recorded.<br />

Course<br />

to more than one course.<br />

Department <strong>of</strong> Education and Training representing the Minister for Training, and the Governing Council <strong>of</strong> the College for the<br />
