Information about how storage of agreements is managed is also provided. Agreements of this type may be entered into with the purpose of positioning UCD internationally, to further a relationship with another institution, to advance the interests of UCD in general or of a part of UCD in particular, to provide for specific teaching and research activities, to provide for student and staff exchanges and/or to provide for jointly (or other collaboratively) awarded qualifications.  \nThis information draws on the Irish Higher Education Quality Network (IHEQN) Guidelines for the Approval, Monitoring and Review of Collaborative and Transnational Provision1 and is also regularly reviewed against emerging sectoral, national, legislative, European and international developments, Including, for example, the European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ENQA) Quality Assurance of Joint Programmes guidelines.2 The information is also indexed against the UCD Policy on Quality Assurance and Quality Enhancement.3  \nCollaborative Programme Basics: the programme approval mechanism  \nThe Programme Development, Approval and Review Framework (PDARF) provides the relevant information for supporting programme development, including collaborative programmes, within the University (see [https://www.ucd.ie/registry/staff/registryservices/curriculum/programmeapprovalpdarf/](https://www.ucd.ie/registry/staff/registryservices/curriculum/programmeapprovalpdarf/)) . The Framework for Collaborative Programmes at UCD is a component of PDARF and is focussed on providing specific support for collaborative initiatives.  \nAll collaborative programmes must be approved through the normal routes for new programme approval. The relevant forms for collaborative programmes include Global Partnerships Proposal Form, PDARF2, PDARF3 and PDARF4, and where a collaboration is being introduced into an already existing programme, PDARF7 is to be used in place of PDARF2 and PDARF3 . All of the forms are available at the above weblink.  \nAll forms must be completed and submitted to the relevant College Executive and/or Governing Boards, as well as the University Management Team (UMT) in accordance with the procedures outlined in the PDARF approval process.  \nCollaborative Programme Directors should list as much detail as possible about the collaborative programme on these forms – all of this information is critical for ensuring that the University can support the programme effectively.  \nGeneral Overview of Formal Agreements  \nA sample, standard Collaborative Agreement template is available on the University Secretariat website at [http://www.ucd.ie/governance/](http://www.ucd.ie/governance/ and)[ and](http://www.ucd.ie/governance/ and) requests for further advice and assistance from the University Secretariat may also be obtained by emailing [programmes@ucd.ie](programmes@ucd.ie.
