Education Council Sub-Committees

Integrated Curriculum Committee

As a sub-committee of the Education Council, the Integrated Curriculum Committee conducts the review of curriculum on behalf of the Education Council to:

• Ensure that institutional policy and standards have been met
• Confirm that implementation and operational considerations have been addressed
• Make recommendations for curriculum approval
• Refer to Education Council issues that indicate a need for an educational standard/policy or require clarity on the application of a policy or standard

The Integrated Curriculum Committee generally meets once a month for a regular three-hour meeting. Any unfinished business from this meeting is scheduled for a "carry-over" meeting (approx. 3 hours). Meetings are normally held on Mondays and Wednesdays, between 1-4 pm via Teams (unless otherwise specified).

Faculty members are appointed to the Integrated Curriculum Committee by the School's Dean.
