Guidelines for departmental student handbooks

  • The departmental handbook checklist is to give guidance on information that should be provided annually for students.
Handbook for undergraduate students:
  • Handbooks for undergraduate students should be published to students electronically, and may optionally also be made available in hard-copy.
Information for students taking outside options or first year modules in the department:
  • This may be provided in the form of the department's handbook for undergraduate students
Handbook for postgraduate students:
  • In the case of postgraduate handbooks, departments and centres are normally expected to publish hard copy as well as a web version, but with the permission of the Dean of the Graduate School, centres and small departments may restrict publication to a web-only version.
  • The university defines the list of items which should included in handbooks and leaflets for students in a checklist for departmental student handbook. Where central text is provided this must be included in full within the relevant department student handbook.
