university income and expenditure information and student load calculations (fonnerly combined in the UGC's "Fonn 3" return); although initially these records were used principally by the UGC for planning purposes. they became increasingly used by universities themselves as management information and fonned the basis. from 1987 onwards of "University Management Statistics and Perfonnance Indicators". Data collection Whilst some of the personal data on undergraduates was obtained via UCCA from the application form. all other data for new students and staff was provided annually by universities, together with updating information for those already on the records, and leaving information for those tenninating their studies/service. A "snapshot" date of 3 L December was chosen to allow for any changes (eg to choiGe of course) which might take plaGe during the first term, so that the statistics might reasonably be said to represent the academic year, and to ensure as much consistency as possible between universities. The university officer responsible for USR returns was the Registrar/Secretary, a member of whose staff was designated the USR Correspondent in each record area. Thus, typically, USR would have contact in each university with members of staff from Registry/student records, Postgraduate Office, PersonneiiEstabiishrnent Office, Careers Advisory Service, Adnit Education Department, Finance Office and, as computerisation developed in universities, with administrative data processing officers. Full details of the operational procedures for each of the Records is given in the relevant volume of the reference manuals. However, with the exception of the Continning Education Record (where each year's return is complete in itself), they shared many similar characteristics designed to minimise the burden on universities: a "muster" of the students/staff to be updated (an "expected graduates muster" in the case of the First Destination Record); an automatic mxlate process whereby the university needed only to deal with non~sta..'ldard records (eg st".Jdents repeating a year)~ COtnputci validation, including relationship checks between certain fields; error listings pinpointing problems; and feedback in the form of summary tables for universities to check. At litis point, if satisfied with the tables, the correspondent was required to certifY - on behalf of the university - that the figures correctly represented the position at the date in question. Until that cenification was made, no statistics would be released in respect of that university
