Content of academic regulations at AU

At AU, it has been decided that academic regulations must cover a number of content elements, all of which are listed in the overview here.  The overview is based on the statutory requirements for academic regulations as set out in the ministerial order. These requirements are elaborated under ‘Formal rules’. 

In addition, the overview contains information about whether the specific information is related to the course element or the course element offered. This determines when the specific information needs to be ready and its status. 

More detailed descriptions of selected key elements and how to work with them can be found under ‘Key elements in academic regulations’.
