Policy and approvals translation guide

We are currently in the process of redesigning all of the University’s policies and procedures.

As this is a staged process, some terminology in our existing policies and procedures will be out of date since the new College structure came into effect on 1 July 2017 and with the release of change decisions for professional services.

If you encounter a policy that references a role or organisational body that no longer exists, please use the table below to assist you in determining the new role applicable for that policy or procedure.
