Access Targets. The University will maintain its current access record at a minimum of 1% above its benchmark in all the following performance indicators relating to access, Additionally, the University will place particular emphasis on maintaining and enhancing its performance in the following key indicators: This emphasis is consistent with the performance indicators that the University has used in its Widening Participation Strategic Assessment for HEFCE. The University will commit to improving its absolute performance against these indicators over the period of this agreement. In the case of T7, the University will aim to move to above its benchmark by 2017. In the case of the two indicators in T1b and T2a, the University already matches or exceeds its benchmark. The University will aim to improve upon this already outstanding performance. This will be a challenging task because of  The debt-adverseness of these potential applicants,1 and  Additional challenges to the enrolment of mature adults. The University believes that there may be a dip in its performance against these targets in the early years of this agreement until the new funding system has been established and the outcomes of the additional work that the University plans have become apparent. By the end of this period the University intends to have recovered and improved upon its position. from socio-economic classifications 4-7 41.5 44.0 45 from POLAR low participation neighbourhoods 23.2 25.6 30 Entrants with no previous HE experience and from POLAR low participation neighbourhoods 19.6 19.6 24 T7 Percentage of students in receipt of DSAs 6.5 6.4 6.5

In the case of T7, the University will aim to move to above its benchmark and increase the proportion of disabled students in receipt of DSAs to 6.5% by 2017. This is consistent with the overall access targets of 1% above benchmark. In the case of the two indicators in T1b and T2a, the University already exceeds its benchmark by considerably more than 1%. The University will aim to improve upon this already outstanding performance. This will be a challenging task because of The withdrawal of a universal and clear entitlement to Education Maintenance Allowance, and The debt-adverseness of these potential applicants,3 and Additional challenges to the enrolment of mature adults.

Related to Access Targets

  • Targets and Milestones For the purposes of this Access Agreement, the University of Bristol will assess progress in widening participation against a combination of progress measures which, between them, are designed to assess: • The specific impact of a number of key outreach initiatives. • Year on year progress in diversifying our applicant and student population. • Year on year progress in improving conversion of under-represented applicants. Bearing in mind the range of outreach activities which we plan to offer, we intend to measure year on year progress in attracting a wider pool of applicants by focusing particularly on each of the following categories (although additional measures included in our 2012 Agreement have also been retained for continuity of monitoring): • Applicants from low performing schools • Applicants from socio-economic groups 4-7 • Local applicants Progress measures for each of these are provided at Appendix Four. In each case, we have included new measures, to assess improvements in application to intake conversion. As far as possible, measures have been calculated taking account of the expected impact of a number of specific outreach initiatives (the Access to Bristol scheme, summer school programme and personal adviser scheme), each of which also has more detailed performance targets associated with them (also detailed at Appendix Four). Measurement of the University’s intake profile will be focused on the low school performance category, reflecting the role which this plays in our contextual approach to admissions. Measures relating to mature student intake have been included for continuity. The recent decision to grow our undergraduate numbers substantially means that continuing to measure progress in diversifying intake by looking at under-represented groups as a percentage of total intake is no longer meaningful. For each intake-related measure, we have therefore added the number of students which the original percentages might have been expected to deliver. Monitoring against these numbers will give a more accurate picture of progress. All progress measures have been informed by more detailed analysis of progress against the institutional milestones detailed in Appendix Two and will be re-calculated annually to reflect assessment of our progress to date. In addition, it should be noted that we intend to carry out further research, for example, to better understand the impact of educational standards in the Bristol area on our ability to progress at the specified rates; we may need to adjust the progress measures contained in this agreement for future years to reflect the findings.

For purposes of calculating the “Minimum Annual Salary of California Full-time Employees Hired” and the “Cumulative Average Annual Salary of California Full-time Employees Hired,” the salary of any full-time employee that is not employed by Taxpayer for the entire taxable year shall be annualized. In addition, the salary of any full-time employee hired to fill a vacated position in which a full-time employee was employed during Taxpayer’s Base Year shall be disregarded.
