Course Planning, Development and Approval

CCCU is currently in the process of developing and approving new courses for 2025/26 and 2026/27 academic years.

Any new course development which you intend to undertake from September 2024 will need to follow the new Academic Framework.

Courses are developed in the Sprint Design sessions and course approval is managed via the Curriculum Management Tool (Courseloop).

For information regarding each stage of the approval process, including documentation requirements and templates, please contact your Faculty Quality team or contact the Quality and Standards Office.

For guidance see the relevant section on the QSO Sharepoint.
