Academic Programmes & Partnerships Committee (APPC)
Proposal Form for Non-Standard Fees:
Following approval from CPPARC, any new programme which proposes a non-standard fee would require approval from the Fees Sub Group. In addition to this, any changes to existing fees, ie from one point on the scale to another, must also be approved by the Fees Sub Group by way of making a case on the template. The completed Proposal Form for Non Standard Fees should be sent to Amanda Layne, Head of Fees and Awards, Student Information Directorate (a.j.layne@salford.ac.uk). Please read the information here before completing your form.
