Quality Handbook Supplement 6C - Course Review Annual SASQC Reporting (required template)

1.1 This document provides ASQC with oversight of School-level implementation of the Course Review Policy; specifically, courses with performance concerns, retrospective School level Re-approval activity and required University Re-approvals. Schools will report to ASQC in Spring each academic year.

1.2 All information on Course Review can be found in Quality Handbook Section 6: Course Review and Re-approval Policy.

2.1 Schools are expected to identify courses with performance concerns using Schools Insights data trends and outline actions taken to mitigate any associated risk . A course requiring School-level scrutiny and monitoring is defined by the Course Review Policy as:

2.2 A course where data indicates performance concerns:

1. has already fallen below a B3 minimum threshold;
2. is declining towards a minimum B3 threshold; or
3. has below a TEF Gold subject benchmark.

Further information

• For the purposes of this report, ‘Confirmation of action taken and monitoring approach’ (see downloadable required template below), need only be brief and can reference ongoing as well as retrospective action(s) taken.

2.3 It is highly recommended that Schools check the ‘NTU Official OfS metrics’ in Schools Insights to provide more information on the extent to which the ‘OfS Official published data’ is indicating concerning trends.

Further information

• The ‘NTU Official OfS metrics’ has been designed to replicate, as close as possible, the Official OfS metrics to allow colleagues to see how trends are likely to continue in more recent reporting years.

2.4 Schools may decide to also identify courses for School-level monitoring for other reasons (i.e. as evidenced in recent accreditation reports or following student feedback).
