Strategic Planning Approval
Strategic Planning Approval (SPA) must be obtained before any credit bearing academic provision is included in or withdrawn from the University's portfolio as required by Section B1.2 of the University's Academic Regulations.
You are advised to review the 'Strategic Planning Approval Process Flowchart' document below before seeking to acquire Strategic Planning Approval. Colleagues wishing to seek the withdrawal of academic approval of a course should also see the 'SPA Withdrawal' form below.
A different process applies to non-credit bearing academic provision. If you need further information about this, please contact QSRE via the contact details below.
