Documents for consultation
This page contains details of current Faculty and University teaching and learning policy and procedure documents open for consultation. It provides access to consultation documents, responses and information on the Humanities approach to consultations.
Please note: you will need to log in with your usual University of Manchester username and password to access some of the documents.
Categories of consultation
In July 2022 the University Teaching and Learning Strategy Implementation Group agreed the review of University policies/procedures/guidance would be categorised into one of the following:
- Category A: those policies/procedures/guidance expected to require a substantive rewrite
- Category B: those policies/procedures/guidance expected to need minor amendments.
Humanities approach to consultation
Documents identified for consultation by the University Teaching and Learning Delivery (TLD) team or by the Faculty Student Service, Success and Development (SSSD) team will be timetabled for discussion by the Faculty TLSE Leadership team or Humanities Teaching and Learning Committee.
The Faculty SSSD team will annotate each of the documents under consultation with initial comments and feedback, and will circulate these to specific School and Faculty TLSE roles in advance of discussion at the Faculty TLSE Leadership team or Humanities Teaching and Learning Committee.
Schools should ensure that they engage with relevant School Committees to obtain feedback to be considered by key School colleagues (where appropriate) and / or make relevant School colleagues aware of an ongoing consultation. In addition, the School should also consider any engagement with key colleagues at validated partner organisations, where appropriate.
Where it is a University level document under consultation the Faculty SSSD team will collate a Faculty response (where required) to return to the University TLD team.
