Access and Admissions Sample Clauses

Access and Admissions. The University of Essex is committed to fair access and encourages applications from anyone able to demonstrate the potential to meet entry criteria for the relevant course and benefit from study at undergraduate level. Individual applicants are considered on the basis of their merits, abilities and potential, regardless of race, ethnic origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, socio-economic background, family circumstances, religious or political beliefs and affiliations or other irrelevant distinction. The University’s admissions policies and procedures are designed to ensure that all applications are considered fairly and consistently and in accordance with professional standards.
Access and Admissions. We are committed to fair access and we encourage applications from applicants demonstrating the greatest potential to benefit from the type of education that we provide. Our admissions policies and procedures are designed to ensure that all applications are considered fairly and consistently, and in accordance with professional standards. Applying a holistic approach, individual applicants are considered on the basis of their merits, abilities and potential regardless of race, ethnic origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, socio-economic background, family circumstances, religious or political beliefs, affiliations or other irrelevant distinction. We do not currently use contextual data in making selection decisions at the point of application. We use contextual data at the point of confirmation in order to allow additional consideration of factors which may have affected borderline students who have not met the conditions of their offer; this has been in place since October 2012 entry. Our education committee continues to review the use of contextual data.

From October 2012 entry, we have used contextual data at the point of confirmation, to allow additional consideration of factors which may have affected borderline students who have not met their offer. Our relevant Senate Committee continues to review the use of contextual data in light of additional information being available from UCAS and application trends.
Access and AdmissionsThe University has appointed an Admissions Progression Officer who checks all incoming applications for relevant indicators of under-representation, using the full range of UCAS contextual data sources. Applicants are flagged and monitored throughout the decision- making process, and candidates are offered alternative methods of assessment of potential where appropriate. The Progression Officer works closely with our partner Further Education Colleges (FECs) to identify students who would not normally apply, but who would benefit from a University of Bath education. Progression routes for those with the potential to succeed at Bath are being established and managed on a case-by-case basis. The lessons learned from the early stages of this work will be passed back to partner college managers. Our use of contextual data is in line with the National Council for Educational Excellence2 recommendation that universities should use all the information available to them to identify “the best students with the greatest potential and ability to reach the highest academic achievement”. Our scheme has been designed with reference to SPA guidance3 on best practice in this area and will make appropriate use of the data UCAS provide.

Our use of contextual data is in line with the National Council for Educational Excellence2 recommendation that universities should use all the information available to them to identify “the best students with the greatest potential and ability to reach the highest academic achievement”. Our scheme has been designed with reference to Supporting Professionalism in Admissions (SPA) guidance3 on best practice in this area and will make appropriate use of the data UCAS provides. Applicants are flagged and monitored throughout the decision- making process. Factors such as school performance are considered carefully in relation to POLAR3: 1-3 quintiles, with particular emphasis on those applying from quintile 1. This may result in a standard offer being made even though GCSE or AS attainment, or predicted grades, may be a little outside the normal range expected. These applicants are reviewed again at confirmation stage if they narrowly miss the conditions of any offer made. As part of our fair access strategy, additional consideration will also be given to applicants who have successfully completed an extended outreach programme such as On Track to Bath or a similar programme offered by a partner university. The Admissions Progression Officer also works closely to enhance the applicant experience of those applying with Access to HE Diplomas or vocational qualifications. Our aim is to ensure that admissions staff make fully informed decisions in each case and that any barriers these applicants may experience to their progression are mitigated. We work closely with our partner Further Education Colleges (FECs) to support applicants from these contexts and to ensure that they receive high quality, targeted Information, Advice and Guidance (IAG) in relation to a Bath application. The University has introduced a travel bursary scheme for 2015 entry, to ensure that applicants from low-income families are able to attend departmental open days should they wish to do so. The University is strongly committed to maintaining and extending its existing expertise in relation to aspiration and attainment-raising activities. In 2012 the University established the Widening Participation Office to co-ordinate an outreach programme designed to identify and nurture the academic talent of under-represente...

Access and Admissions. Colchester Institute is a college of further and higher education which welcomes applications for its full and part-time courses from all sections of the community. The College is committed to ensuring that every student is on the most appropriate course relevant to their academic ability and aspirations for their future. The College aims to ensure that all actual or potential learners are treated in an equivalent fashion, regardless of: age, socio-economic background, disability; family responsibility, marital status, race, colour, ethnicity, nationality, religion or belief, gender, sexual orientation, and/or any other irrelevant criteria. The purpose of the Colchester Institute Admissions Policy for Higher Education is to provide a customer-focused framework for admitting applicants and to promote a consistent and fair approach to recruitment. As a college with a strategic remit of widening participation in higher education, the levels of participation by under-represented groups indicate how successfully the College is meeting that remit. The age and income profiles of higher education students differ markedly from HE sector averages: Mature students make up 39% of 2011-12 HE full time new entrants (186 students aged over 21yrs on 30th September 2011). 47% of HE full time students in 2010-11 had a verified family income of below £25,000 (433 students reported by SLC). The proportions of students from post codes with low levels of adult HE qualification or young participation rates (POLAR2) are also well in excess of sector averages (see Appendix 4): 43% of full time students in 2011-12 are from the bottom two quintiles of Adult HE Qualification QAHE (213 Q1, 201 Q2) 40% of full time students are from the bottom two quintiles for Young Participation (QYPR).
