ADDITIONAL ACCESS AND RETENTION MEASURES. Academic support ranging from the personal tutor system to Students’ Union initiatives and in-session support from the English Language Centre is intended to ensure that every student who gains entry to King’s is capable of completing their programme. The College records reasons for withdrawal and is able to monitor variance between different programmes of study. In 2009, only 5 home students claimed finance as the main reason for withdrawal. However, our access agreement proposes an additional investment in hardship funding on the basis that we believe financial hardship might impact on other personal issues experienced by students who withdraw. Academic leadership comes from each of the College’s nine academic Schools developing unique widening participation and fair access statements which identify key initiatives based on the varied academic portfolio and student profiles of the different Schools. These distinctive offerings will also enable new partnerships to support the academic agenda. King’s College London is unusual in its peer group in its development of progression agreements. The College led a Lifelong Learning Network and has embedded several progression agreements with the intention of working with its network of local colleges and schools and continuing to build new pathways to admissions. Partnership takes the form of a variety of strategic partners who will work with King’s in support of the widening participation and fair access strategy. Financial support available to students The existing King’s my Bursary and my Scholarship schemes will be phased out as the students graduate: in the meantime the commitments to current award holders will be fully honoured. Existing King’s students who started in 2006-7 or 2007-8 will be awarded a King’s myBursary to match 50% of their total maintenance grant (up to a maximum of £1,350). Existing students who started in 2008-9 or later will be awarded a King’s my Bursary, also based on their maintenance grant, as follows: Table 3 King’s MyBursary allocations Maintenance Xxxxx Xxxx’x myBursary £2,200 - £3,250 £1,350 £1,500 - £2,199 £1,050 £700 - £1,499 £350 £50 - £699 £100 All King’s students starting full-time undergraduate study after 2006-7 will be automatically eligible to be considered for a King’s myScholarship. 40 new scholarships are available each year, running at an existing steady state of 120 in total. These will be phased out from 2012 as students graduate. King’s myScholarship awards are ea...

ADDITIONAL ACCESS AND RETENTION MEASURES. Indicative expenditure for 2016-17 is shown below highlighting the balance of access and student success activities, whilst at the same time maintaining bursary support to recognise the fact that a significant number of UCLan students enter from low income families. Feedback from students and from the Students’ Union is that such measures encourage low income families into higher education and improve progression rates. 2016-17 OFFA-countable expenditure Access £725,852 Student Success £3,133,683 Progression £1,104,800 Financial support £3,877,600 TOTAL £8,841,935 All of the expenditure noted is “countable” for the purposes of this Access Agreement. FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS Financial support will be provided to students in cash and through payments to support learning. Timely information will be provided to UCAS and the SLC to ensure that applicants and students are aware of the support available. The UCLan Bursary delivers financial support to the poorest students by:  Providing £2,000-worth of financial support in Year 1 for all full time undergraduate students at our Preston Campus paying the maximum £9,000 fee from households with residual incomes of less than £20,000 (with the exception of students already in receipt of support such as NHS- sponsored students and Dentistry students).  Providing £1,000-worth of financial support in Year 1 for all full time undergraduate students at our Preston Campus paying the maximum £9,000 fee from households with residual incomes between £20,000 and £25,000 (with the exception of students already in receipt of support such as NHS-sponsored students and Dentistry students). Additional funds will be allocated to enhance the hardship fund to be administered by the Xxxxxx Bursary Fund Panel. Through these additional funds, we will be able to provide more targeted financial support to mature students, especially student parents and to students in need, at appropriate points throughout the student lifecycle. Information on the Xxxxxx Bursary Fund is updated annually and can be found at: xxxx://xxx.xxxxx.xx.xx/fundraising/harris_bursary_fund.php. Our approach to financial support is continually evolving, based on discussions with the Students’ Union and on feedback from previous and current First Years, as well as national research and feedback. The Students’ Union favours an approach which continues to provide a high level of support to the very poorest students, but allows for differing levels of support for oth...

ADDITIONAL ACCESS AND RETENTION MEASURES. The University of Xxxxxxxx has considered the advice from OFFA in relation to the balance of expenditure on the range of access measures it will employ. In particular we welcome the new emphasis on measures to support retention and student success, and the opportunity to support some of the activity previously funded by the Aimhigher Sussex programme, hosted by Brighton. It is our intention therefore to re‐balance our expenditure in order to provide a more tightly focused strand of financial support and a greater balance of expenditure on outreach and retention. In “steady state” the university proposes to devote £1.41m of its total additional access expenditure to outreach activity and £1.97m to additional retention activity – in total an expenditure of £3.38m on both outreach and retention. This represents a very significant increase on the current “countable” expenditure of £422k for both outreach and retention measures. Expenditure on outreach and retention as set out in this agreement will all be “countable” – that is it is either expenditure counted in our previous access agreement that we will be continuing to make, or it will be expenditure on new measures. Outreach Building on success The additional resource allocated from this access agreement will enable Brighton’s wide ranging outreach programme to develop and diversify across the following strands: • Partnership with the local community • Targeting support to where it is most needed • Contextual admissions • Curriculum themed support for selective programmes
