Collections of 3-year Academic Plans for GSA Schools and Courses, setting out the plans for the development of the School or Course over the next planning period. Plans include aims, future structure of the course, requests for resources and equipment that will support future plans, teaching & learning strategies, student target numbers, and staff development. These academic plans are part of the annual reporting process and are often produced at the same time as the Annual Course Reports (AC/5/2 above). These plans were/are sometimes used in the formation of other documents such as Strategic Plans (see GSAA/GOV/8/1), Course Reviews (see AC/5/7) and the Report to Senate (see AC/5/1 above). In 1996/1997 there are Strategic Plans for non academic units e.g. the Registry Department, based on the pro forma for the Academic Plans. From session 2000/2001 the plan documents are called 'Strategic Plans' and these include non academic plans for departments such as Registry, Estates and Development.
