[Making changes to academic provision home page]
The annual review process requires academic departments to review all existing academic provision, and note amendments for approval and update on the database record for the next academic year. This review process and subsequent database amendments occur in the Spring term to enable students to select their optional modules and the timetable to be produced for the upcoming academic year. Academic departments should begin reviewing and thinking about changes to provision towards the end of the autumn term to ensure timely returns during the annual review process.
The annual review process is critically important because the database holds the definitive record and supplies information to other systems, such as the Module Directory, COR, RPS and the timetable and exams. This is also important in respect of structures and rules published in advance of the academic year.

The Systems Administration office leads training each year for academic departments and Education Managers. The training will provide documents and manuals essential for use during the Annual Review Process. Additional training can be provided to new staff as an introduction to the Course Records Management Menu (CRMM) on the MIS database. CRMM is the primary location for all details regarding modules and courses on the database.
Detailed guidance on the annual review process is available in the Training documents.(pdf)
