A number of revisions were required to the University's governing instruments to reflect the recent change in legal status of the Students' Union. Within the governing instruments, the constitution of the Students' Union is now referred to as the Memorandum and Articles of Association.

Amendments were made to Statues 14, 16, 21 and Ordinance 23 following approval of the Council at its meeting held on 14 July 2010. Amendments to the statues are pending approval of the Privy Council and are marked accordingly within the Calendar.
