Curriculum Planning for 2021/22

We have streamlined some of our processes for dealing with new modules and module amendments.

• New module forms and MAFs – these will be uploaded to a Sharepoint by departments once they are finalised and ready for faculty consideration, the Student Lifecycle team will shortly have these finalised. (If the change relates to assessment only, a MAF is not needed - please see below.) Faculties will indicate faculty approval on the Sharepoint before the Lifecycle Team then action on SITS/Portico. Deadline 30 November.  The curriculum data maintenance task will be open in January and February for confirmation of module data and checking of programme diets.
• Changes to assessment only – as these changes do not affect programme diets, we can allow more time. Spreadsheets will be made available to departments based on the current module assessment data for 2020/21 on which departments can indicate assessment weighting changes / changes to methods of assessment for 2020/21. Faculty approval will be required on these spreadsheets for changes. Where an assessment change forms part of a major programme amendment, this should be indicated on the spreadsheet by departments for PMAP/PAWG reference. These spreadsheets will be made available for December. Deadline 26 March 2021.
• Programme amendments and new programmes – these will continue to be received as per the existing processes and deadlines set out in Chapter 7 of the academic manual.  

The table below sets out details of all deadlines for curriculum data activity for reference.
