  1. Recording non-formal achievement in the Higher Education Achievement Record (HEAR) Richard Gill Partnerships Unit

  6. The Keele (and Glyndŵr) approach • Two layers of protocols: • Layer 1 – Institutional (what we can include) • Layer 2 – Specific (how we include it)

  7. Layer 1 Protocols • The activity is verifiable and is endorsed by the University. • The opportunity to undertake the activity is open to all students, in principle. • Information included is presented factually, not opinion-based. • The activity/outcome is a direct part of the academic programme. • The role/activity/outcome is defined by regulation. • The role/activity/position supports a University process, which is normally determined by election (student) or University nomination. • The activity/role supports wider University policy and strategy.

  8. Layer 2 Protocols (example) Student Societies: • The position must be within a Students’ Guild society. • The position must be recorded in the approved version of the Committee’s constitution. • The post-holder must have been elected to the post. • The post-holder must have held and contributed to the post for a minimum of one semester.

  9. Institutional differences • Student Union/Guild infrastructureand activities • Volunteering opportunities • Employer engagement • Prizes • Graduate attributes • Sporting achievements (BUSA guidance) • Sabbaticals and student representatives
