Welcome to the ARC Website
Welcome to the Academic Registrars Council (ARC)

ARC is the national forum of senior managers responsible for the academic administration of student matters in publicly funded Universities and Colleges of Higher Education within the United Kingdom.

 

Specifically,  ARC seeks to;

-         Influence national debate and policy on matters related to academic administration;

-         Stimulate debate on issues within and affecting academic administration;

-         Promote and share best practice in academic administration;

-         Participate in national working groups and committees;

-         Support members and their colleagues in performing their roles in institutions through the provision of relevant professional development programmes;

-         Provide a focus for networking and development;

 

ARC works with other bodies and is a member of Higher Education Senior Managers Forum (HESMF) and has a strategic alliance with the AUA, who also provide much of the administrative support for ARC.

 

The Council meets three times a year, hosting a series of external and member led speakers providing updating opportunities of key academic administration. ARC holds its annual general meeting at an annual residential conference held in September.  ARC also operates Practitioner Groups to assist the development of policy and practice in specialised areas of student administration. 

 

Dates and location of council meetings and practitioner groups are shown in the members’ section.

 

If you are interested in our work, seek our support, wish to offer assistance or want to find out more about membership, we will be pleased to hear from you.
