Section One: Programme Commentary, RAG and Resources Update

Commentary

There are no projects currently planned in the Other USG programme for 15/16 and so the Resources table below shows effort at the USG Portfolio level only.

Please note that the project RAG status is following the revised guidelines: A one-page summary of the IS RAG status indicators is available on this page.

Notes on potential project in 15/16

The Alumni Portal will need to be reviewed as a result of the Etherington Report, whose recommendations about fundraising management may mean changes to the way that we interact with alumni. These may be relatively small, or they may be more significant, depending on how Higher Education is treated given that the alumni have already been students at the University of Edinburgh. The outcomes will be legislative, meaning there is a potential in-year compliance project to enable us to comply with the new regulations. A note of this is also added to the Student Administration Services programme report, as it may be necessary to call on contingency funding from an alternative programme for this work. Resources

The budget for both balance rows in the resources table below is 0.
