Important changes to the submission deadlines for all Programme Amendments

Historically, the deadline for all programme amendments has been 28th February. However, in order to ensure the successful and correct marketing of programmes of study, all content for existing programmes must be fully approved and in place, prior to the start of the academic year in which the next recruitment cycle takes place. By confirming programme content at an earlier stage, it means our marketing, admissions and programme amendment processes will be less onerous in terms of the required consultation with applicants, offer-holders and existing students, and will therefore reduce the potential risk of non-compliance.

In light of this, on 25th April 2019, UCL’s Education Committee approved two recommendations regarding the submission deadlines for changes to existing programmes:

1. For programmes running in 2020/21, all programme amendments must be submitted to Academic Services (either to the Lifecycle team to process or PMAP to note/approve) by 30th November 2019.
2. For programmes running in 2021/22, all programme amendments must be submitted to Academic Services (either to the Lifecycle team to process or PMAP to note/approve) by the end of the Academic Session 2019/20.

The facility to make exceptional in-year changes to programmes, to be considered and approved by PMAP, remains unchanged.
