Collaborative provision

Working in partnership is central to the academic mission of Canterbury Christ Church University.

Collaborative courses require start-up and monitoring procedures additional to those in place for courses delivered exclusively by the University. 

Collaborative provision is a type of partnership, as described in the CCCU Taxonomy of Collaborative Provision.

In relation to Collaborative Provision, QSO takes a lead in

• Institutional policy and procedures for Quality Assurance of Collaborative Provision
• Coordinating institutional stages of approval for new collaborative provision partners and new collaborative provision courses
• Coordinating the institutional procedures for the termination of partnerships and collaborative provision courses
• Coordinating Periodic Partner Review.
