Board Governance

The Board has senior oversight of the institution; it concerns itself with the long-range planning and the business affairs of the institution.

Examples of its role are the approval of the mandate, the budget, tuition fees, financial statements, investment policy, collective agreements, and the appointment of the President.

Academic Governance

General Faculties Council, subject to the authority of the board, is responsible for the academic affairs of the university.

Examples of its role are granting degrees, approval of the academic plan, academic programs, academic policies, academic calendar, academic awards, and hearing & determining student appeals.

Judiciary Governance

Judiciary Governance provides neutral, third-party support for the GFC Boards and Committees which deal with student academic standing and discipline appeals.

New University Governance Intake Process

Are you ready to submit an item for consideration (information, discussion, action) by the Board of Governors, General Faculties Council and/or their standing committees? The new University Governance Intake Process is designed to streamline the submission and review of proposals within the university. This new process and work flow will ensure a smooth and efficient intake process and allow the UGov team to better support proponents throughout the entire agenda item life cycle--from intake to approval/ closure.
