MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR INDUCTION
- This is a guidance document for use by academic and non-academic departments
- It was an idea that emerged from ISSG
- It suggests what information/services should be provided to students as a minimum and records which departments/teams deliver or communicate about these
