The TRAC Development Group (TDG) has launched a new edition of the TRAC guidance. The new guidance has been revised and improved, and will apply for reporting from the academic year 2014-15 onwards. Details on how to use it can be found the HEFCE website. On the launch of the guidance, Steve Egan, HEFCE Deputy Chief Executive and Director of Finance, said:
“The TDG has done a good job in producing new guidance that is significantly streamlined and more accessible for users. This will help to reduce the administrative burden of operating and maintaining TRAC in higher education institutions. I encourage all institutions to use the new guidance to help improve the efficiency of their TRAC process and increase the utility they can derive from TRAC.”
The launch of the new guidance was accompanied by the latest version of the TDG Bulletin, with updates on TRAC development and the activities of the TRAC Development Group. The bulletin covers details of the TRAC Practitioners Conference, an update on the work of the FSSG, a summary of recent publications, and a round-up of TRAC Regional Groups.
Please e-mail the TRAC Helpdesk, or call it on 0115 935 3400 if you have any trouble accessing the new documentation, or have any questions about the content.
In related news, The TDG has also announced that its conference for TRAC practitioners will take place on Tuesday the 30th September and will be held at Imperial College London.
