The university has a new policy on New Arrivals and Transition – this can be found at: http://www2.gre.ac.uk/about/policy.
The policy grew out of the earlier Policy Framework : The student experience of arrival, induction and orientation: a policy framework (which can also be found at the above link) – and this, in turn, grew out of the university’s Enhanced Induction Project.
The new policy brings together a lot of very valuable developments and collaborative working across the university, and was formulated through considerable consultation processes with both students and staff.
The Educational Development Unit presented a consultation paper which was endorsed by the Learning and Quality committee in January 2011 – this paper reports on New Arrivals in the Autumn 2010, and on development of the new policy.
The consultation paper, entitled New Arrivals and Transition: Consultation paper on progress and policy, can be downloaded here.
