Part Time students in a Full Time context What is Part Time? Relationship with Full Time students Different approaches in different Faculties Variety of support systems Access to University systems

Curriculum Dominance of Full Time curriculum Timetable v Learning Coherence of Part Time offer Quality processes

University Strategy Not accounting for Part Time activity in University curriculum related strategies (teaching and learning, assessment, e-learning, widening participation, third stream funding) Resource allocation models; academic staff contracts and commitments beyond teaching hrs Fees Scholarships and bursaries Staffing full time v sessional staff

University Systems Generating Enquiries Marketing, web site Communicating with potential students Handling enquiries Student tracking Relationship management

Discussion Topic A customised system for Part Time students in a conventional University offers support tailored to their needs. However, it also creates difficulties working within a system designed for the majority of Full Time students. Can this tension be resolved? Suggestions please!?
