Programme Documents

Programme Documentation

Programme documentation refers to any and all documents which have been approved, typically by NZQA. The most recently approved documentation is referred to as the definitive documentation and is filed in the E-Academic Library.

Programme documentation includes:

• The programme document
• Course descriptors (may be separate or incorporated into the programme document)
• Programme Regulations (may be separate or incorporated into the programme document)
• Data Sheets (used for PeopleSoft)

The Programme documentation states how we must deliver the programme to our learners and includes: Course Descriptors, Programme Regulations, Delivery Methods and Resource requirements, Assessment Methods as well as information about the Programme Design, Teaching Staff Profile and Industry connections and support for the Programme.

Programme Documentation is stored in the E-Academic Library on the H:Drive in Programme specific folders.

Programme delivery must always be in accordance with the most recently approved programme documentation. If the programme team wishes to deliver the programme contrary to what is currently approved, then the programme must undergo a Type 1 (minor) or Type 2 (major) change. Discuss your intentions with Te Korowai Kahurangi (tkk@unitec.ac.nz)  before you progress with any work to make the changes.
