NSS
Recruitment or Intake
Student Performance

Quality Risks Within the School/Department’s Control (Table 1) should be used where the School/Department has a primary role in risk management and mitigation. This is not to say that
other University departments may not also be involved and/or responsible for significant remedial actions themselves
EXAMPLE – Where recruitment data indicate that the perceived attractiveness of a course is not healthy it is the school/departments primary role to work with other departments (eg Marketing,
Student Services) to affect and/or agree remedial action
3.
Quality Risks Not Primarily Within the School/Department’s Control (Table 2) should be used where the School/Department identifies risks that are primarily not within their control
EXAMPLE – This Table should be used where it is identified that University software, managed by IT Services, is not adequately functioning and affecting the student experience
