PERSONAL TUTORING Code of Practice Staff Briefing • Nicola Poppitt September 2018
The recommended staff resource allocation for Personal Tutoring is one hour per student per year. • The Personal Tutor is an Academic role. • Where possible students will be allocated a Personal Tutor from their general discipline area. • All Academics do not need to take on the role of a Personal Tutor. • The allocation of Personal Tutors will be determined by the School Executive Team on an annual basis but where possible adhering to the principle below. • Where possible students are allocated a Personal Tutor for the duration of their Course. • Students will be informed of alternative support contacts should their Personal Tutor be unavailable for a length of time due to unforeseen circumstances. Principles of Personal Tutoring
Under exceptional circumstances, students may request a change of Personal Tutor. • Where appropriate, for example where students are studying off-campus, Personal Tutoring can be arranged electronically. • Staff Development will be provided to support Personal Tutors in their role. • A recognised role with oversight of Personal Tutoring within each School would be beneficial e.g. PL Learning and Teaching. • All undergraduate and postgraduate students (full time and part time) will normally be informed of their Personal Tutor during the first week of their Course. • Some Personal Tutor meetings may be group-based, but all students should have the opportunity for individual meetings with their Personal Tutor.
