Removal of need to collect information on ‘Model 2’ LLNs:
Columns 5 and 5a of Tables 1a, 2 and 3 of HESES09 collected data on ‘Model 2’ LLNs
All LLNs to be funded through the mainstream ‘Model 1’ route from so these columns no longer required for this purpose

Such students already returned in HESES as non- fundable
Monitored through a separate end-of-year return
From HESES10 will monitor these students in a new Column 5 and 5a in Tables 1a, 2 and 3

6. Other changes to HESES
Possible change in file format of HESES workbook:
Intend to create HESES10 workbook in Excel (file extension .xlsx) rather than Excel 2003 (file extension .xls)
Institutions which have not migrated to Excel will need to install the Microsoft Compatibility Pack

7. Other changes to HESES
Clarification of the treatment of foundation years:
Foundation years are classed as ‘recognised HE courses’ only if they are an integrated part of a recognised HE qualification
For we intend to make it clear that such provision will be considered integrated only if:
students are already registered for the recognised HE qualification at the same institution, and
progression to the recognised HE qualification is guaranteed, subject to satisfactory completion of the foundation year.
