Division Academic Program Reports Guidelines
Introduction
The Division Academic Program Report (DAPR) captures the Divisions’ reflection on their collective academic program performance. It draws on the evidence in the Divisions’ suite of Course Performance Reports (CPRs) course performance data and underpinning data sets.
The completion of DAPRs is an important part of JCU's cycle of continuous improvement. The DAPR, to be compiled by the Divisional academic management teams, provides an opportunity to present significant academic program matters across courses – achievements to be celebrated, issues to be managed, and quality activities to be considered to enhance our course offerings. These analyses feed directly into the development of the Divisional Plans, the Academic Course Review process, and will be used to ensure that the University meets the requirements of the TEQSA (Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency) Threshold Standards. They will also be used by Associate Deans of Learning and Teaching (ADLTs), Learning, Teaching and Student Engagement Directorate, Deputy Vice Chancellors (DVCs), and the broader university community to enhance resourcing and student experience.

Report structure
The DAPR content should be aligned directly with that of the CPRs (as per below table) and in consideration of the Cognos Course Performance Report data pack (see Appendix), with a focus on exception reporting to highlight those aspects of the Division’s academic program performance that are either exceeding or not meeting expectations, and the actions required to address these. The requirements below are a ‘minimum’ in order to provide consistency. Further analysis may be added. The quality of decisions made based on CPR and DAPR data will be enhanced with the use of additional pertinent data and evidence sources.
