We too are revising our processes to register students once for the entirety of the programme of study. We would be interested in seeing the summary of replies. But may we also add a request? If institutions are already working in this way - could we possibly see a copy of your initial contract with the student? We are drafting ours tomorrow and would be very nterested in seeing how others word their contracts.
Thanks

Hi Carole,
I'd be very interested to receive a copy of the summary. At present we enrol
our students on an annual basis, but it would be very intesting to see what
other institutions do and why
Thanks
