Papers and documents pertaining to reports, reviews, and quality assessments of the Glasgow School of Art and its Courses.

As part of the internal Annual Reporting Process, departments were asked to submit Course Reports for the academic year just passed, and in some years, Academic Plans for the years ahead.

The Report to Senate includes: Overview of the Session; Annual Course Monitoring Reports; Response to External Examiners' Comments; and Student Statistics. These files also include draft reports, meeting notes, and files of correspondence and papers relating to the reports. Reports over 30 years old are available for public consultation.
