Dear Vice-Chancellor or Principal

Assigning departments to academic cost centres: 2001-02

This letter asks you to inform us of any changes to your assignment of departments to academic cost centres since submitting your return to HEFCE Circular letter 26/00 ‘Assigning departments to academic cost centres: 2000-01’.

There have been no changes in the definitions of academic cost centres since HEFCE 98/65 was published. The guidance in HEFCE 98/65 should continue to be used to determine the assignments.

The enclosed disk contains an Excel spreadsheet showing the current assignments for your institution. Changes to the assignments can be notified by amending the data in the spreadsheet.

We will subsequently publish all institutions' assignments. This information is based on institutions' own decisions regarding their assignment of departments to academic cost centres and has not been reviewed by the HEFCE. The supply of this information should not be regarded as an implicit approval of the assignments.

The disk containing amendments to the current assignments, or confirmation of no changes, should be returned by 26 February 2002 to:

Lindsey Gilbert

Yours sincerely

Howard Newby
Chief Executive
