The Student Data Compliance team supports institutional strategic planning and performance through managing the governance of student data, ensuring compliance with student statutory reporting obligations through the preparation and completion of student statutory returns such as HESA and HESES, and managing the maintenance and reporting of information to the Student Loans Company.
