  University of Luton
Centralised University procedures have been established for activities such as admissions, timetabling and examinations and, with effect from the 1994-95 academic session, the University's Modular Scheme Office was enlarged in order to act as a central point for student enquiries about their programmes of study, and to collect coursework assignments from students.
The University is to be commended for the vigour and evident commitment it has shown in seeking to understand and address the various difficulties which it has faced in its transition from a college of higher education to University.
The University may, however, wish to consider making its academic accountability processes more visible by re-emphasising the requirement on course and field teams to be more self-critical and to outline in their annual reports what action has been taken to implement the previous year's action plan, including the action taken on external examiners' reports.
