This policy applies to all College programs that lead to a credential approved by the Board of Governors.
The assessment of program quality is based on meeting applicable national, provincial, or discipline/professional standards, and meeting the quality assurance requirements as established by the provincial government.
Some programs are required to conduct reviews by external accrediting bodies. Where elements of the external review are consistent with College requirements for Program Renewal, the external accreditation process can be used in place of a Program Renewal, either fully or in part. Results from accreditation processes will be reported in the same manner as internal Program Renewals.
Program Review and Renewal does not address the performance evaluation of personnel, which is appropriately carried out through the established procedures of relevant collective agreements.
