The VSR (Victorian Students Registrar) issues the VSN (Victorian Student Number) for Victorian students. The VSR VSN Service runs as a background Windows service to:
- obtain a VSN for newly enrolled students who do not have one
- obtain a VSN for Prep students who did not previously require one
- notify the VSR of changes to a student's:
- first name
- last name
- date of birth
- gender
- VSN (stored in the Government Student Number field).
- notify the VSR when a student leaves your organisation, with a special indicator for unfortunate events such as death.
Note: The VSR VSN Service relies on the student's leaving date, not their status. Students with a leaving date set in the future are not registered as having left until after their leaving date has passed.
Note: The VSR VSN Service only includes students in normal year levels (0 - 12). That is, year levels defined in luYearLevel with an ExternalSystemCode between 0 and 12.

Maintaining the VSR/VSN Service
The VSR VSN Service requires minimal interaction, and can be maintained using configuration settings in the Configuration File Maintenance window. You can view the status of transmissions made by the VSR VSN Service on the VSN tab of the Synergetic Subscriber Status window. See Synergetic Subscriber Status window.
