RESOLVED – 113/15

2. CHANGES TO UNDERGRADUATE CURRICULUM
Members noted that the University’s change process for Cycle I undergraduate curriculum had been
designed to accommodate both annual (planned) and late change requests which normally would arise from
enrolment issues or other unforeseen circumstances. The latter, if assessed to have no impact on the
structure of a major, were administered via the fast-track process and approved by the Chair by way of
delegated authority from the Committee.
Planned annual changes to undergraduate curriculum might occur at the unit level and/or major level and/or
honours level and would need to take place, where relevant, in line with the University Policy on Changes to
Units , University Policy on Changes to Approved Majors and Changes to Approved Honours specialisation.
