Approval of Minor ChangesTrish BarkerQuality Support ManagerPartnerships ForumJuly 2007
Process • All minor changes to the programme in delivery should initially be discussed with the Link Tutor • Programme Leaders should ensure they have checked the following:any resource implications; consulted with students if necessary; appropriate consultation with any other programmes that may be affected; appropriate consultation with professional bodies, if necessary
Process • After initial discussions, the Link Tutor will arrange for any changes to be considered at the Faculty Quality Committee (FQC) • Each FQC may require slightly different paperwork & the LT will ensure that programme leaders are aware of the requirements: minimum paperwork is the rationale for the changes • Once the changes are approved at FQC, programme leaders will be informed by the LT
Process • LT will ensure that appropriate action is taken within the faculty to update OSS records • Faculty Quality Officers will inform QUS of the changes
What is a Minor Change? The following may be considered as minor changes, if changed in isolation: • Bibliography • Class contact/delivery methods • Semester/delivery methods • Assessment of individual modules • Syllabus content which does not affect objectives/learning outcomes
