University Academic Planning and Policy Council

The University Academic Planning and Policy Council (UAPPC) – consists of the members of the APRC, a committee of the Faculty Senate constituted as per the Faculty Handbook, with one administrator chosen by the PAS, one staff member chosen by the Union, and one student chosen by the University-wide Student Leadership Council. The administrator, staff member, and student will serve a term of one year, renewable, at the discretion of their relevant stakeholder body. This body provides the APRC with a systematic way of consulting with staff and students about any matters the APRC is reviewing as part of its oversight of academic policy and programs. The APRC consults with the UAPPC on matters of interest to students and staff (e.g., proposed changes to the University’s grading scale), but for matters in which students and staff have no interest (e.g., reappointment, tenure, and promotion of faculty), the APRC may but need not consult with the UAPPC.
