Students can only be allocated to one code, even though they may belong to more than one group. To allocate a student type, start at the top of the list and work down. Use the first code that applies to this student. For details, see Student type in the in the Roll returns manual.

Resource Level

Level of resources required for students identified in the Ongoing and Reviewable Resourcing Scheme (ORRS).

The fields allow a student or parent to nominate up to three ethnic groups. The NZ MOE encourages schools to allow students to self-identify or be identified by their parents as belonging to more than one ethnic group.
There should be no duplicate codes in Ethnic Group 1, 2 or 3.

For details, see Ethnic group in the Roll returns manual.

For example, if a student enrols for two terms of study and each school term consists of 10 weeks then Tuition Weeks = 20. It does not matter if the student is part-time or full-time.
This is used to calculate the International Student Levy for an international student. Also, see Setting up tuition fees for international and full-fee students in the Roll returns manual.
