For additional information refer http://www.education.vic.gov.au/management/governance/vsn/default.htm



PART 2 Preparation for becoming a VSR user This section provides information to assist users in getting started with the application. This is a summary only and users should familiarise themselves with the VSN Implementation Guide for Non-Government schools obtainable from the VSR Operations team. Contact via email to: [email protected]

Obtaining a User ID and Password In order to access the VSR, schools are required to complete a VSR Authorised User Form which can be downloaded from the VSR website http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/schooladmin/vsn/operatingthevsn.html Alternatively schools can email the VSR mailbox at [email protected] to request a copy of the authorisation form. Once the form has been completed and endorsed by the Principal it should be either scanned and emailed to the VSR mailbox [email protected] or faxed to 03 9651 0218. A VSN Operations team member will create the Eduweb user account and an automated Eduweb email will be forwarded containing the username and password to the email address indicated on the request form. Although the automated Eduweb email suggests you change your password; please ignore this message and use only the password issued in the email.

Getting Started The VSR System web site can be accessed at the following location: https://www.eduweb.vic.gov.au/VSRWebSite

Logging on to the VSR All catholic school provider ID’s will commence with the same first 4 digits of 0201 followed by a four digit school code. All Independent school providers ID’s will commence with the same first 4 digits of 0202 followed by a four digit school code.

PART 3 Student Management for Provider Web Users This section provides details on how Provider Web Users can use the VSR System for the entry of student enrolment data via the web browser interface. Student Management Transactions are submitted to the VSR System by Providers on a one by one basis by manual entry of the student data. Overview of Student Management Transactions A Provider Web User can use the VSR System to perform the standard Student Management transactions expected of a provider: Enrol student – enrol a student with the provider. Change student’s details – change the details of a student’s enrolment with the

provider, updating any of their o Student participation record - Enrolment date, Provider student ID, o Student registration record.- Current First Name, Current Last Name, Current

Middle Name, Date of Birth, Gender, and Access Restriction Exit student – record the exit date of an enrolment of a student with the provider. Cancel enrolment – delete the participation record of a student with the provider. A report is available listing all of the students currently registered on the VSR for a provider. The menu path for this report is: Reports → Student VSN. When this menu item is selected the following screen will be displayed:

To obtain a list of the students currently registered in the VSR for your school, click on the [Process Report] button. A list of students will be displayed. This list can be printed or extracted as a ‘csv’ file which can then be imported into MS Excel. To include any exited students place a tick in the box next to: ‘Display Exited Students’.



Enrolling a Student This transaction indicates that the student has enrolled at your school on a particular date. It may be the student’s first enrolment in the Victorian education system or may be transferring from another Victorian school.

If this is the student’s first enrolment in the Victorian education system then this transaction will assign the student a Victorian Student Number.

If the student is transferring from another Victorian school then, in all but extraordinary circumstances, this transaction will confirm their previously assigned Victorian Student Number.

What you must do before you start You will need

An enrolment form for the student – checked and verified using the school’s own processes, or

A transfer note from the student’s previous school

How to Enrol a Student Choose Student Management -> Enrol Student from the left hand side menu.

The question “Has the student been enrolled in a Victorian educational institution before?” is used to identify if the student is already in the VSR System. If the system verifies that this is the student’s first enrolment at a Victorian school, then a new VSN will be assigned to them as a consequence of this enrolment.



There are three variations in the data combinations for this question If you answer YES and provide a VSN then you know that the student has been

previously been enrolled in a Victorian school and you have evidence of their VSN. If you answer YES and do not provide a VSN then you know that the student has

been previously been enrolled in a Victorian school but you have no evidence of their VSN.

If you answer NO, you should not provide a VSN. For a student’s first enrolment at a Victorian school When you are confident that the student has not previously attended a Victorian school because you are aware that they have transferred from interstate or overseas or they are a prep student.

Enter the student’s enrolment details provided by the student on the enrolment form

Select No for the question “Has the student been enrolled in a Victorian educational institution before?”

Leave the VSN field blank Leave the Previous Provider ID field blank. The Provider Student Id is specific to the record keeping system used by the

school. The example in the following success summary example is abc12345. You can leave this field blank.

You must enter the First Name, Last Name, Date of Birth and Gender, and the Enrolment date.

You can leave the Middle name field blank. You can leave the Time fraction at Enrolment field blank. You do not need to select for Access Restriction. The system will assume that

there is no access restriction for this student record. If you select Yes, the VSR Central Administrative team will be alerted to there being a court order, or similar, on this student’s relationships. This will place additional safeguards around access to this student’s data on the VSR.

All fields marked by a * are mandatory. If any mandatory fields are left empty, or if information entered does not conform to the format requirements of each field, the user will be informed via validation messages.

Where • appears there will be one of the following messages:

Enrolled before is required Gender is required VSN is required, and must be a valid 9 character numeric value First Name is required and must have a length that does not exceed 30 characters Last name is required and must have a length that does not exceed 30 characters Date of Birth is required, and must be in the format dd/mm/yyyy Enrolment date is required, and must be in the format dd/mm/yyyy Enrolment Date is required, and must be in the format dd/mm/yyyy and must

occur after the Date of Birth



Outcomes of Successfully Enrolling a Student at a Victorian School for the first time The VSR System

1. A new VSN is generated for the student by the VSR System. 2. The First Name, Last Name, Middle Name (if provided), Date of Birth, Gender and

Access Restriction are recorded against the student’s registration record. 3. The Provider Student ID, Enrolment Date and Time Fraction at Enrolment are

recorded against the student’s participation record for the provider entering the data.

The provider A message similar to the following will be displayed to the provider user:

What you must do to complete this enrolment

Note, in your school records, the VSN for the enrolled student. You are

advised to print the screen. Check the details entered for this student. If not correct, you must change the incorrect information using Change

student details. If correct, move on to the next transaction.

For student with a previous enrolment at a Victorian school When you are confident that the student has previously attended a Victorian school

Select Yes for the question “Has the student been enrolled in a Victorian educational institution before?”

If you know the VSN; o Enter the VSN o Leave the Previous Provider ID field blank

If you do not know the VSN; o Leave the VSN field blank o Enter the Previous Provider ID – this can be done by searching for the

school You must enter the First Name, Last Name, Date of Birth and Gender; and the

enrolment date. NOTE: if the Enrolment date precedes the Date of Birth you will be given a warning

You can leave the Middle name field blank. You can leave the Time fraction at Enrolment field blank. You do not need to select for Access Restriction. The system will assume that

there is no access restriction for this student record. If you select Yes, the VSR



Central Administrative team will be alerted to there being a court order, or similar, on this student’s relationships. This will place additional safeguards around access to this student’s data on the VSR.

Outcomes of Successfully Enrolling a Student with a previous enrolment

The VSR System If the VSN is supplied, and the VSN, First Name, Last Name, Date of Birth and Gender match a single student registration record, then the First Name, Last Name, Middle Name, Provider Student ID, Provider, Enrolment Date and Time Fraction at Enrolment will be recorded against the student’s new participation record. If the VSN is not supplied, and the First Name, Last Name, Date of Birth, Gender and Previous provider ID match a single student registration record then the First Name, Last Name, Middle Name, Provider Student ID, Provider, Enrolment Date and Time Fraction at Enrolment will be recorded as a new participation record for the matching record VSN. No changes will be made to the student’s registration record. The provider A message similar to the following will be displayed to the provider user:

What you must do to complete this enrolment

Confirm that the VSN matches the VSN in your records. In the case where the

VSN was not known take note of the VSN for the enrolled student. You are advised to print the screen.

Check the details entered for this student. If not correct, you must change the incorrect information using Change student

details. If correct, move on to the next transaction.



VSR Central Exceptions

There will be cases where this message is displayed

A VSR Central Exception occurs when the requested enrolment transaction cannot be completed by the VSR System, due to one of the following reasons:

If a VSN has been entered, and the First Name, Last Name, Date of Birth or Gender do not match with the VSN record stored in the Victorian Student Register.

If previous enrolment has been entered as ‘Y’ and a VSN has not been entered, and the First Name, Last Name, Date of Birth and Gender match multiple student registration records in the VSR System.

If the matching student registration record indicates the provided VSN is suspended.

If the matching student registration record indicates the student is recorded as deceased.

If the matching student registration record has an existing participation record for the provider.

In these cases you will be contacted by telephone, by a VSR Operations Team member to resolve the problem. It would be helpful if you have the student’s enrolment form or transfer note and any other supporting documents readily available. If a change to a student’s date of birth is necessary you will be asked to fax a copy of the student’s birth certificate or enrolment form to verify the correct details.



Changing a Student’s Details This transaction indicates that the student details or student enrolment details previously entered by you are not correct. Usually, this transaction will be used to correct the spelling of a name or, less frequently, to communicate that the student has changed their name. In some cases, this transaction indicates that the Date of Birth or the gender of the student has been found to be incorrect. In extraordinary cases this transaction indicates that the gender of the student has changed.


Evidence of the new (correct) details. o If a data of birth or gender change, you will be asked to provide

evidence (such as birth certificate or enrolment form) to the VSR Operations team.

How to Change a Student’s Details Choose Student Management -> Change Student Details from the left hand side menu.

Enter the student current details – every field must be entered as they exist on the VSR. All fields marked by a * are mandatory. The student’s current details will be used to verify that the correct student has been chosen according to the VSN specified.



Enter the student new details - New First name, New Last name, New Date of Birth, and New Gender must be entered even if there is no change to one or more of these. Whatever is entered for these fields will be updated if the transaction is successful. For example, only the First name might need to be changed but all mandatory fields must be entered

The fields New Provider Student ID, New Enrolment Date and New Access Restriction fields, may be left blank if no change is required; the VSR System will update their values only if an entry is made. The New Middle Name field, though optional, requires an entry if you wish to keep the existing middle name for the student Example 1

Mandatory fields Current value New value VSN 123456789 123456789 First Name Marj Mark Last Name Smith Smith Date of Birth 17/08/1999 17/08/1999 Gender M M Optional fields Middle Name David David Provider Student ID SMI06 Enrolment Date 12/01/2005 01/12/2005 Access Restriction

student. The Date of Birth and Gender form an integral part of the Registration record and cannot be changed readily.

If the student does not have an active participation record at your school. In these cases you will be contacted by telephone, by a VSR Operations team member to resolve the problem. It would be helpful if you have supporting documents (such as birth certificates or enrolment forms) readily available. Exiting a Student from a Provider This transaction indicates that the student that you have previously enrolled has exited the school by transferring to another Victorian school or by leaving the Victorian education system. In the extraordinary case where a student dies during their period of enrolment at your school then this should be placed on the student registration record using the exit student transaction.


Evidence that the student has exited the school.

How to Exit a Student from a Provider Choose Student Management -> Exit Student from the left hand side menu.

Enter the student’s details - every field must be entered as they exist on the VSR. All fields marked by a * are mandatory.

If the student has died, then select the box to the right of the question ‘Is this student deceased?’ otherwise leave the box blank.

Outcomes of Successfully Exiting a Student from a Provider The VSR system

1. An exit date will be recorded against the participation record identified by the VSN and provider.

2. If the ‘Is this student deceased?’ box is selected, then the student registration record identified by the VSN will be updated to indicate that the student has died.

The Provider A message similar to the following will be displayed:

What you must do to complete this transaction

You are advised to print the screen for a record of the student’s current VSR status

Check that this is the correct student to have their enrolment at your school terminated

If this is not the correct student then re-enrol the student using the Enrol student function

If this is the correct student then proceed with the next check. Check that the exit date is correct. If this is not the correct exit date then contact the VSR Central team through the

DEECD Service Desk.



Check that the Student is deceased information is correct – this will usually be

‘False’. If this deceased information is not the correct then contact the VSR Central team

through the DEECD Service Desk. If the exit date and deceased information is correct then proceed with the next

transaction.

VSR Central Exceptions There will be cases where this message is displayed

A VSR Central Exception occurs when the requested exit student transaction cannot be completed by the VSR System, due to one of the following reasons:

linked VSN does not have a participation record with the provider. If the student does not have an active participation record at your school. If the exit date is prior to the enrolment date for the provider



Cancelling a Student’s Enrolment This transaction is not to be confused with exiting a student. Cancelling a student enrolment removes the record and the VSN from the VSR. This transaction indicates that the student that you have previously enrolled has not physically presented at the school for classes. The transaction indicates that your school has had no teaching contact with the student. If a student actually attended classes, even for a short time, the student must be exited and not cancelled.


Evidence that the student has never presented at the school. This could be: o a written instruction from the Principal or their delegate. o Record from parent indicating that the student will not attend.

How to Cancel a Student’s Enrolment Choose Student Management -> Cancel Enrolment from the left hand side menu.
