Responsibilities of Degree Programme Chairs
ANNUAL DEGREE PROGRAMME REPORT (SUA-CdS)
The SUA-CdS can be viewed on the ava.miur.it portal by logging in with the read-only credentials available to the Degree Programme Chair (to recover the credentials, if necessary, please contact scuola(AT)architettura.unifi.it).
Some of the information contained in the SUA-CdS is published on the Universitaly portal.
The contents of the SUA-CdS sections are updated annually according to the deadlines established by the Ministry.
ANNUAL MONITORING REPORTS
In order to meet accreditation requirements, each year the Degree Programme carries out a self-assessment process which results in the drafting of a commentary on the Annual Monitoring Report. This report concerns data published by ANVUR relating to entry into the Degree Programme, regular progression through the programme, completion of the programme and entry into the labour market, internationalisation, and qualitative and quantitative indicators relating to teaching staff.
The Annual Monitoring Report (SMA) must be approved by the Degree Programme Council and published on the ava.miur.it portal.
CYCLICAL REVIEW
The Cyclical Review is required by ANVUR at intervals of no more than five years.
It may be required at shorter intervals in the period preceding a periodic accreditation visit, at the request of the Evaluation Unit, on the initiative of the Degree Programme in the event of significant anomalies in the indicators, or when major changes involving a redesign of the Degree Programme curriculum are introduced.
The Cyclical Review Report is drafted by the Review Group, discussed and approved by the Degree Programme Council, and published on the ava.miur.it portal.
Student evaluation questionnaires on teaching
These should be consulted periodically at this link.
The results are useful for drafting the Review Report and the CPDS Report.
Detailed information is available on the University webpage.
CHANGES TO THE DEGREE PROGRAMME CURRICULUM
The Degree Programme curriculum is contained in the RaD sections of the SUA-CdS.
The proposal to amend the Degree Programme curriculum must be submitted to the central University offices by the deadline established annually by the University (usually by January).
The proposal must clearly indicate the changes compared with the current curriculum. These changes must be accompanied by the necessary resolutions, including the proposal of the Degree Programme Council, the opinion of the School Council, and the approval of the Department Council and of any associated Departments.

CHANGES TO THE DEGREE PROGRAMME REGULATIONS
The proposal to amend the Degree Programme Regulations (both the textual and tabular sections) must be submitted by the Degree Programme Council to the School by the deadline established annually by the University (usually by mid-February).
The proposal must clearly indicate the changes compared with the Regulations of the previous year.
After expressing its opinion, the School forwards the proposed amendments to the Department Council and to any associated Departments for approval.
TEACHING PLANNING
The Degree Programme Council must submit to the School its proposal concerning the annual plan of teaching activities and the allocation of teaching responsibilities for the relevant courses by the deadline established annually by the University (usually by mid-February).
