A supervisory meeting record is a more detailed summary of your meeting with your supervisor(s) and the information provided must be signed-off by you and your supervisor(s). Your supervisory meeting records can be viewed and edited by your supervisor(s) who attended the meeting. A Contact Touchpoint records an interaction with a supervisor or, exceptionally, an appropriate faculty staff member such as a Faculty Research Officer or Programme Leader.
The contact touchpoint should not be used instead of a supervisory meeting but can be recorded in addition to a supervisory meeting or when a supervisory meeting has not been able to take place one month, but you still need to record that you are engaged with your programme to meet the requirements of the Student Engagement Policy and Procedure. A contact touchpoint can only be entered and viewed by you and key administrative staff who are required to monitor your engagement.
