Timeline for submission of a New Programme Proposal
New Programme Proposal (a proposal for a new qualification or new major subject or endorsement or minor subject).
New Programme Proposals should only be developed after an indicative proposal has been approved by a subcommittee of the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) (see the Indicate Proposal for a Programme page for the indicative proposal timeline).
Once an indicative proposal has been approved by the SLT subcommittee, the full New Programme Proposal should be completed in time for the first CUAP round of the following year. Contact Academic Committees and Services for advice on CUAP deadlines.
