  9. Student Recruitment – Admissions Training Day Who counts towards the control number? • For the 2011/12 academic session, undergraduate students will contribute towards the control number if: • They do not withdraw from their programme/instance of study within 2 weeks of commencing it. • They are HEFCE fundable, full-time students in the academic year, 1st August 2011 to 31st July 2012. • They have NOT been HEFCE fundable, full-time students in either of the two preceding academic years (that is between 1st August 2009 and 31st July 2011) at Greenwich or a partner institution.

  16. Student Recruitment – Admissions Training Day Programmes above 100% and below 20% Questions to ask • Above 100% • Are there limited specialist facilities? • Are there limited lecture hall sizes, any timetabling issues? • If yes, may need to think about closing the course • Are staff flexible and able to teach different subjects? • If yes, may be able to continue to recruit • Below 20% • Can students be taught with students on a different programme? • Can you market more effectively? • If no, programme may not be viable.
