The Academic Quality Handbook is the definitive collection of the latest copies of all the procedures, templates and forms relating to all academic quality processes of the University.
It is divided into a number of sections from high level strategy through programme development and approval; regulations and assessment policy; complaints and appeals procedures; to APL and Handbooks.
The sections are intended to be self-explanatory, however if you have any queries or comments then please contact Jessica Dodd in Quality Support via email jessica.dodd@sunderland.ac.uk.
Important!
When you need to use the forms and templates, please make sure you download the latest version from this handbook to ensure you are not using an out of date copy.
