Laurels

Right. Back in the land of the living.

It's great having a blog, I feel very cutting-edge, but they tend to fall into disrepair very quickly if left unattended, as this has been for a while now. Two large projects, and a growing series of smaller ones, have prevented me -- or rather, I have let them prevent me -- from updating this blog with what's current and underway with Registry, with my half at least.

First we had a(nother) HEFCE audit, swiftly followed by a year end Exam Board. The former involved a lot of running around with various lists making sure all the records in our central student database match with reality, as experienced by module tutors and students and the like, whilst the latter involved a lot of running around with various lists making sure all the records in our central student database match with reality, as experienced by module tutors and students and the like. Another way of looking at it would be to say the former checks the data that becomes the information that becomes the money, and the latter checks the data that becomes the information that becomes the awards. Both equally important, both dependent on the other. Either way, both were dealt with very successfully, thanks to the great work put in by the team.

But sadly there's no time to rest on our laurels (do any of us ever get the chance to do that?), as we're straight into the next set of projects: publication of results, enrolment, graduation, module evaluation, collaborative provision processing, HESA etc etc etc.
