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 the DVCs/PVCs Group (see the Indicate Proposal for a Programme page for the indicative proposal timeline).
Once an indicative proposal has been approved by the DVCs/PVCs, 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.
