Learning Council

Learning Council Role

The Learning Council is to...

  • Consider and determine the courses or programs to be offered
  • Set criteria concerning qualifications for admissions; examinations and evaluations of student performances; requirements for graduation; and awards recognizing academic excellence.
  • Evaluate existing courses or programs.
  • Determine the degrees, honorary degrees, certificates and diplomas to be granted by University College, and the persons to whom they are to be granted.
  • Exercise internal disciplinary jurisdiction over the academic conduct of students, including the power to expel or suspend for cause.
  • Make rules and establish procedures for appeals by students on admissions and academic matters, and to establish a final appeal tribunal for these appeals.
  • Determine curriculum content for courses leading to degrees, certificates and diplomas.

On April 17, 2007, the Rules of Governance was approved by the UCN Learning Council as the guide for the operations of the Council.
