The Academic Planning and Quality Assurance Office (APQA) works closely with Education Council (EdCo), with a focus on developing and maintaining high quality programs and ensuring effective educational policies.
APQA and EdCo set an annual schedule for program approval timelines [PDF] to guide program areas in planning their proposal submissions.
Education Council has established the following committees to facilitate Council business. APQA members serve as resource members on the committees as appropriate:
- Programming Committee – reviews all proposals for new programs and major changes, and makes recommendations to EdCo
- Policy Committee – reviews all new and revised educational policies and associated procedures, and makes recommendations to EdCo
- Executive Committee – coordinating committee for all EdCo activities
- Education Technology and Learning Design Sub-Committee – provides strategic guidance and recommendations regarding the implementation and use of educational technology
Key information on EdCo (including members, Bylaws, meeting minutes, etc.) can be found on the Education Council site.
