GOVERNANCE AND ORGANIZATION

Academic Council

The Academic Council is a coordinated body composed of the division chairpersons, Registrar/Director of Admissions, Dean of Online Learning, Director of Advising, Assessment Coordinator, and the Vice President of Academic Affairs (Chair). Its primary purpose is to coordinate course schedules, catalog revisions, and general changes in curriculum. The Council also participates in the coordination of other institutional activities such as budget and in-service programs. [Updated May 2023]

Although the Council does not speak for the faculty as a whole regarding changes in procedures, this group acts as a sounding board for the initiation of change. The Council makes recommendations to the administration or faculty regarding changes in procedures.
