Next Steps

Ensure all sections are complete and check that relevant module links are correct. Have someone else in the department proof read the document.

Save the document as a PDF file – You DO NOT need to print the document.

Email the document (PDF version) to least 10 working days before the relevant Planning and Coordination Committee meeting (dates with all relevant deadlines reside with your Head of Department). The body of the email should list the programme(s) that this EAP4 applies to and the names of the relevant programme coordinator(s)

The Registrar’s office will print the EAP4. The Programme Coordinator(s) and Head of Department must call to sign the paper copy between Tuesday and Friday, (Friday being the submission deadline) strictly between 2 – 4pm.

The Chair (or someone nominated by the Chair) of the Planning and Coordination Committee will be in touch to indicate the location and time of the meeting.

Where EAP4 documents are unsigned, incomplete or incorrect they will not, under any circumstances, be placed on the agenda of the Planning and Coordination Committee meeting. Where an EAP4 document is left off the agenda, the Registrar’s office will inform the appropriate Head of Department after the meeting has taken place.
