>      1. ELECTRONIC ENROLMENT
> 
>      1a.	Do you presently enrol any students "on-line"/electronically?
		Not yet - maybe in future
> 
>      1b.	If yes, for which groups of students (all, postgrad new 
>                 entrant, undergrad continuing, etc.)
		n/a
> 
>      1c.	What are the benefits/pitfalls of using this method?
	n/a
> 
>      1d.	How long have you been using this method?
	n/a
> 
>      1e.	What type of software do you use?
		n/a
> 
>      1f.	If no, has your institution expressed an interest in moving 
>                 down this route in the future?
		We may ultimately explore this as a consequence of 
		a new student record system (Dolphin).

>      2.  SCANNING PHOTOGRAPHS
> 
>      2a.	Do you presently scan photographs for ID Cards prior to 
>      		enrolment?
		Yes - for some students
> 
>      2b.	If yes, for which groups of students (all, postgrad new 
>      		entrant,  undergrad continuing, etc.)
		Undergrad 1st years (UK only), f/t MBA and PGCE
> 
>      2c.	What are the benefits/pitfalls of using this method?
>		Benefits: cuts queues at registration by very much reducing
		the number of students who have to have photos taken; has
		reduced number of card production stations needed.
		Pitfalls: no major ones so far (obviously relies on new
		students sending photos in on time).
 
>      2d.	How long have you been using this method?
		This Sept/Oct was first year for large numbers after trial in 1997.

> 
>      2e.	What type of software do you use?
		SYSIS photocapture units and printers

> 
>      2f.	If no, at what stage in the enrolment process are student 
>      		photographs taken for the production of ID Cards?
		n/a
> 
>      3.  POSTAL ENROLMENT
> 
>      3a.	Do you presently enrol any students by post?
		Yes
> 
>      3b.	If yes, for which groups of students (all, postgrad new 
>      		entrant, undergrad continuing, etc.)
		All returning students
> 
>      3c.	What are the benefits/pitfalls of using this method?
		Has eased congestion/delays at registration. Unreturned forms have 
		to be chased. Not all information (e.g. residential addresses for
		the coming academic year) is available when forms are completed.

> 
>      3d.	How long have you been using this method?
		Summer 98 was 3rd year
