Staff Guide: PGR Training/PGR Auditing

What is the PGR Auditing Status?

Occasionally PGR Students may be required to be enrolled on modules for training purposes to meet the requirements of funding bodies or schools. This unassessed participation will be with the permissions of the Schools involved in the delivery of the modules. PGR students will not gain credits for these modules and therefore they have a status of Auditing (PGR Training).

PGR Students will be registered to these modules directly by Schools via MMS, not through the Academic Advising system. By adding PGR students to a taught module in MMS, with the status Auditing (PGR Training), this will update the Registry database.
