## Paradigm Error Resolution <a href="#paradigm-error-resolution" id="paradigm-error-resolution"></a>

Student Status is incorrect for the Provider Type of VET.

The E490 field is used by HE and VET providers. The value of E490 must be different depending on whether the provider is HE or VET. The TCSI support page says that the values for VET must be between 401 and 410 or 501 and 510, for HE the value must be a different value from 201 to 331 – it has to be one of the values that are listed in the TCSI element support page, not just any number within that range. This means that the error happens when a VET value has been recorded for a HE provider or vice versa.

Student Status Code (E490) as defined in TCSI: [Student Status code | TCSI Support](https://www.tcsisupport.gov.au/element/490)

To edit the E490 field for each Unit Enrolment record, [edit the Unit Enrolment record](/home/paradigm-knowledge-base/student-enrolments/workflows/manage-unit-enrolments/edit-a-unit-enrolment-record.md) and go to the TCSI INFORMATION section. Edit the **Student status code** field accordingly.
