The 2011-12 edition of the University Calendar is now online at the following address: http://www.gla.ac.uk/services/senateoffice/calendar/calendar2011-12/

The Calendar contains the regulations for the University's degrees and other awards for the forthcoming academic session. It also includes information on general regulations, student codes (e.g. Academic Appeals) and also programme and course fees.

Information on key changes to regulations this year is available at http://www.gla.ac.uk/media/media_205417_en.pdf. All staff involved with delivery of our degree programmes are asked to look at this and ensure that relevant information passed to students is kept up to date.
