Recent Changes to the University Calendar

The Vice-Chancellor and the Pro-Chancellor have approved, on behalf of the Senate and the Council respectively, revisions to Regulation 23 to permit a Pro-Vice-Chancellor acting on behalf of the Vice-Chancellor to chair the Appeals Committee of the Senate and to also state that the Registrar shall receive and consider in the first instance cases for the Appeals Committee (previously the Deputy Vice-Chancellor).

The University submitted a request to the Privy Council to make revisions to its Charter and Statutes , including the abolition of the Court.  The Privy Council with the Queen in session granted final approval the proposed amendments on 15 October 2009 and these have been implemented in the online version of the Calendar. The necessary revisions to Ordinances and Regulations to reflect provision within the revised Charter and Statutes are being considered.
