About the Educational Partnerships Register (EPR)

The EPR is ACU's central customer relationship management system designed to capture, manage, and report on all current and potential educational partnerships. It enables staff to track partner details, agreements, communications, and workflows in a single, streamlined system. It supports a consistent, efficient approach to managing the entire partnership lifecycle, while enabling informed decision-making.

The EPR ensures Third Party and Educational Partnerships align with the University's Mission and strategic direction, comply with regulatory and legislative requirements, and maintain academic standards and quality assurance. Its development was guided by the ACU Third Party and Educational Partnerships Policy and Procedure.

The benefits of the EPR include

  • Identifying and referencing any existing agreements between ACU and the proposed partner during the exploration of new partnerships.
  • Recording partner contact details, communication history, relevant agreement contacts, and associated ACU staff interactions.
  • Ensuring consistency in the approach and outcomes of partnership agreements.
  • Documenting due diligence checks and risk mitigation measures. 
  • Incorporating workflows to manage reminders, renewals and the allocation of approvals.
  • Assigning and monitoring approvals to track the progress of current and potential partnerships.
  • Enhancing staff efficiency and effectiveness by centralising information and streamlining operations across the proposal, approval, and renewal stages. 
  • Consolidating data and processes into a single system.
  • Providing users with streamlined access to information to support accurate identification, management, and updating of records.
  • Enhancing data integrity and ensuring consistency across records.
  • Mapping existing engagement activities to identify opportunities, focus areas, and potential improvements. 

EPR onboarding and access

ACU is progressively onboarding business units to the EPR to ensure accurate migration of data from legacy systems. This staggered approach will maintain data quality and system integrity during the transition.

The Centre for Education and Innovation (CEI) is engaging with business units for onboarding. If your team has not yet been contacted and you'd like to enquire about the onboarding process, please submit a General Enquiry via Service Central, and a member of our team will be in contact.
