The University of Strathclyde's academic calendar operates within a structured framework that ensures consistency and clarity for both students and staff. This area of activity is governed by two key policy documents that work together to support effective learning and teaching across the institution.
Policy on the Academic Year and Teaching Calendar
The Policy on the Academic Year and Teaching Calendar establishes the fundamental principles for structuring the academic year and defines the teaching calendar's operational parameters. This policy outlines the relationship between the academic calendar and operational timetabling procedures, while clearly defining the responsibilities of both staff and students in ensuring the teaching calendar operates effectively.

University Timetabling Policy
The University Timetabling Policy complements this framework by providing practical guidance on the operational delivery process that facilitates the University's teaching timetable and the provision of facilities to support teaching activities. Together, these policies form a coordinated approach to scheduling that seeks to balance academic requirements, student and staff wellbeing and effective resource management.
