This will be undertaken in the context of the outcomes of the Faculty's undergraduate courses review, which has recommended that the undergraduate courses be presented as three families. The introduction of web re-enrolment and timetabling has reduced the requirement for students' physical presence for administration, thereby streamlining the service to students. Investigation will be undertaken of the suitability of the tutorial enrolment system for University-wide use, as part of the Callista suite. A review has already commenced on the likely future need for the Faculty system FacInfo, prior, during and after the Callista implementation. These reviews will be in full consultation with the central development team.
Credit transfer remains a major issue requiring resolution.
During 1998, the Faculty developed a credit transfer database, designed to expedite and improve the processing of credit transfer applications. However, the initial scoping of the design has, with the passage of time and events, proved to be an underestimation of the emerging needs. Detailed work has begun to assess the optimal path for development of a useful, speedy and user-friendly product which can be of greater assistance to prospective students and course marketers, as well as staff responsible for assessing and administering credit for previous work. Other faculties are also becoming interested in the package, and there will be an investigation about its feasibility and appropriateness for University-wide use. Campuses have undertaken process reviews covering activities such as enrolments, Faculty Office student requirements, organisation and procedures for Summer Semester etc, and the recommendations emerging from these reviews are being progressively implemented.
