Monitoring
As a regulator, OFFA has a responsibility to ensure that universities and colleges are meeting their commitments to individual students and are moving towards the milestones and targets set out in their access agreements. We do this by monitoring access agreements on an annual basis.
Monitoring for 2010-11
OFFA and HEFCE have published joint guidance on how to complete your 2010-11 monitoring return for access agreements and WPSAs. As usual, you can download your monitoring return template from the HEFCE extranet (https://extranet.hedata.ac.uk). The deadline for submitting your completed template to us is Thursday 12 January 2012.
Our monitoring outcomes report
Together with HEFCE, we will publish a report on the outcomes of our 2010-11 monitoring in July 2012. This will show the proportions of fee income spent on bursaries and scholarships for lower income students, the amount spent on outreach, and the proportion of students receiving a bursary at each institution. We will also publish your progress against the individual milestones and targets you have set yourselves.
