Quality Assurance Processes - Annual Reporting

Introduction

At AQSC in December 2008 the committee approved an integrated monitoring and planning process. This resulted in a revision to the University's existing annual monitoring policy and process to allow for greater responsiveness, through ensuring that the annual monitoring system is:

• predictive
• integrated with planning
• able to inform further activity where required

In addition, the revised annual monitoring policy will utilise an annual thematic approach, ensuring that the University's quality assurance systems directly inform and develop its quality enhancement agenda. .

In practical terms, subject level annual monitoring reports should be considered at School Boards in November/December. After consideration at School Board, one School level report should be compiled by each School for submission to AQSC in December.

The following documentation provides guidance on constructing subject level annual monitoring reports:

• AQSC paper Q750 outlining revised process and appendices:
  
  • Report template and process for 2011/12 - please note that this is under review at June 2012 AQSC
  • Diagrams demonstrating integration of process:
    • Lifecyle chart
    • Input chart
    • Output chart
  • Risk assessment template
    
• Data will be provided by Student Services and hosted on Sharepoint, in the Student Services Section.
