What does 'Under review' mean?

All College Reports are given a currency period - usually between two and five years after approval - after which time they are reviewed, and either reconfirmed as statements of current policy, updated as necessary, or withdrawn. Where a College Report is marked as being 'under review', this indicates that the review process has been initiated. Reports marked 'under review' remain current College policy until they are replaced or withdrawn.
