2、ling the students academic progress and measuring their achievement, both at the institution and subsequently; . providing support to the student after they leave the institution. In addition, student records contain data which the institution can aggregate and analyse to inform future strategy, pla

3、nning and service provision. The number of students in HEIs has increased rapidly in the last twenty years. An institutions relationship with an individual student has also become increasingly complex because of the range of support services institutions now provide to students and life long learnin

4、g initiatives. Consequently, the volume and complexity of student records have also increased, as have the resources required to create, maintain, use, retain and dispose of them, irrespective of the format in which they are kept. Ensuring that the personal data contained in student records is contr

5、olled and managed in line with the principles of the Data Protection Act 1998 creates an additional complication. Institutions should, therefore, establish a policy on managing student records to ensure that they are handled consistently and effectively wherever they are held and whoever holds them.

6、 This policy should ensure that: . records relating to an individual student are complete, accurate and up to date; . duplication of student data is deliberate rather than uncontrolled and kept to the minimum needed to support effective administration; . records are held and stored securely to preve

7、nt unauthorised access to them; . records relating to the academic aspects of the students relationship with the institution are clearly segregated from those dealing with financial, disciplinary, social, support and contractual aspects of that relationship. This will enable differential retention p

8、eriods to be applied to each of these to meet business and regulatory requirements.What are student records? Records are documents or other items which: . contain recorded information; . are produced or received in the initiation, conduct or completion of an activity; . are retained as evidence of t

9、hat activity, or because they have other informational value. The recorded information may be in any form (e.g. text, image, sound) and the records may be in any medium or format. Student records records associated with managing the relationship between an institution and its students can be organis

10、ed into three broad categories, each of which may be additionally divided:1. Records documenting the contractual relationship between the student and the institution e.g. records documenting admission and enrolment, payment of tuition fees, non-academic disciplinary proceedings. 2. Records documenti

11、ng the student as a learner e.g. records documenting programmes undertaken, academic progress and performance, awards. 3. Records documenting the student as an individual and consumer of services provided by the institution e.g. records documenting use of accommodation services, counseling services,

12、 library and IT support services, careers and employment services. Most records in categories 1 and 3 have specific retention periods triggered by the formal end of a students direct relationship with an institution, although the information they contain may be aggregated and analyzed to provide dat

13、a requested by third parties1 or to support the institutions planning and development activities. An institution will need to retain some of the records in category 2 to provide confirmatory information to potential employers, professional bodies and associations, and to bodies which regulate entry

14、to medical and other professions and which assess and maintain evidence of fitness to practice in those professions. Who is responsible for managing student records? HEI organizational structures vary considerably. As a result, it is difficult to specify exactly where these responsibilities should l

15、ie in any one institution. Responsibility for managing student records should be clearly defined and documented. It is important to define the responsibilities of staff involved in: . managing the institutions general, contractual relationship with the student; . managing the institutions relationsh

16、ip with the student as a learner; . providing technical and personal support services to the student; for creating, maintaining, using, retaining and disposing of records documenting those activities during the students time at the institution. Institutions should also designate one clear point of responsibility for maintaining complete, accurate and up to date records on every student, covering all aspects o
