[Guidance
A cover sheet should be no more than two sides of A4, single line spacing, left justified and Arial 11 should be
used throughout. The cover sheet should put across the key points of the paper. Authors should consider
whether, in the light of Senators having a constrained period in which to consider papers, the coversheet acts
satisfactorily as a means of highlighting key points to enable them to take the decisions sought of them.
If the accompanying paper is very brief and clear it may not be necessary to complete the key points section
above. If you would like advice on this, please send your draft report to senate@warwick.ac.uk in plenty of time
before the deadline.
If your paper is a summary of a committee meeting, please use the ‘Committee Reporting’ cover sheet template.
The final electronic version will have paper and agenda numbers assigned and inserted, and then be returned
for the preparation and return of 25 double sided, stapled copies (in colour only if necessary), plus one single
sided copy.
Please complete the route map to indicate which committees have already viewed the paper.
Any questions, please contact senate@warwick.ac.uk in the first instance.
Information contained in [ ] should be deleted or overtyped.]
