At the meeting on 27 May 2011, ASC received a report summarising the responses to recommendations arising from the review of provision at the Dumfries Campus held in February 2010. While members considered that there had been appropriate responses to many of the recommendations, it was agreed that further updates should be provided to ASC in October 2011 on the following:

• Recommendation 8: restructuring the Creative Enquiry Project.
• Recommendation 11: further information on the website development for the pre-induction process
• Recommendation 16: further information on course conveners’ actions to increase use of electronically provided resources.
• Recommendation 19: progress with the development of a formal agreement between Dumfries Campus and the College of Arts regarding the delivery of video-linked lectures.

Finally, in noting the response to recommendation 1, ASC observed that the School was planning to – amongst other measures – look at the possibility of introducing greater deadline flexibility, in order to consider ways of diminishing pressure on students regarding penalties for late submission of coursework. Members were concerned that such action could lead to a departure from the Code of Assessment regulations relating to standard penalties for the late submission of coursework; and the School was therefore urged to ensure that these regulations were followed.

ASC is asked to consider the adequacy of the responses and the progress made. Attention is drawn to the limited progress in respect of Recommendation 8. The School acknowledges the recommendation and intends to review the delivery of Creative Enquiry Project but, due to changing circumstances, this has been delayed.
