3. Formal Processes for Course Development, Course Outline Review and
Curriculum Changes
Course Development & Course Review:
The Degree Council and the Planning and Development Office are kept up to date with
respect to the development and the delivery of the courses for the programs. For
PEQAB applications, the academic Dean or his/her designate is responsible for ensuring
that the courses are delivered as per the degree submission. Any program changes
beyond changes which are permitted during the period of consent, must be documented
and submitted to the Minister for consideration.
Every year, program coordinators and faculty members review the degree program
courses to ensure that the most up to date textbooks and course materials are included
in the delivery of each of the courses as well as to ensure that the delivery method and
evaluation strategies are achieving the desired results. Detailed plans and schedules
are developed annually for the renewal and upgrading of program related resources
such as library, computers, classrooms, labs and equipment.
Any changes beyond the requirements set by the Ministry require that the school notify
the Planning and Development Office. No curriculum changes for any program in the
college can be entered into the registration system without approval from the academic
school and the Planning and Development Office. .
Each program has an active Advisory Committee that is composed of practitioners and
other academics and the faculty members and Associate Dean responsible for the
program consult with the committees in the twice yearly meetings.
Advisory committee members are also contacted in between meetings with regular
emails and phone discussions to discuss program-related matters as needed.
