New Academic Policies from 1 January 2012
Academic policies have been reviewed and rationalised through the Streamlining Academic Policies project. Two new Academic Policy Suites came into effect from 1 January 2012 replacing a number of policy documents.
Policy Review Underway
A major review of all catagories of policy and delegations is currently in progress. Staff in the Governance and Policy unit are working with business owners to review policies, examine best practice, benchmark with other institutions and ensure consistency across our policies and delegations. The Policy Review project has been sponsored by the Vice-Chancellor. The aim is to have more structured, coherent, easy to follow and up-to-date University policies.
If you have any comments on the Policy Review or on particular policies, or would like more information, please contact policy@newcastle.edu.au.
