The Admissions Steering and Strategy Committee has resolved that the key material areas of the curriculum need to be in a fixed state at an earlier point so that we can make offers sooner and send key information with those offers.
Sunject to any adjustments being made by the Admissions Steering and Strategy Committee, the 2020-21 deadlines for material changes and minor non-material changes for 2022 entry are set out below, as too is the deadline for upload of programme specifications with or without material changes. Proposals should be submitted to the relevant College committee for endorsement in time to meet the deadlines. A full list of PASC dates for 2020-21 can be found on the PASC web page. Please note these are the final University deadlines and Programme directors should liaise with the College Quality Officer regarding College deadlines and to plan which committee to aim for.
New Programme Approval
To allow adequate time for advertising and recruitment to both UG and PG programmes, it has been agreed that full approval should be completed a year in advance of the expected delivery date to allow for programmes to be set up and offers made. New programme approval deadlines/timelines will now be in line with those for curriculum changes. For 2022 entry, new programmes must have College and University sign off by 11th June 2021 and Programme Specifications uploaded to SITS via MAP by 31st August 2021.
