Office of Education
The Office of Education in the College of Health Sciences works collaboratively with Faculties to develop, enhance and amplify interdisciplinary learning opportunities for Health Sciences students. In selected situations, the College of Health Sciences will lead the delivery of learning opportunities (e.g., Health Simulation). The Office of Education coordinates the administration of timetabling and course scheduling, academic integrity and discipline and placement agreements and documents.
The development of interdisciplinary learning opportunities will draw on the expertise of faculty and staff across the College.
