More about New Program Development

New Program Development is facilitated by the Academic Quality team. Proposed programs are presented to:

  1. Program Development and Renewal Committee (PDRC), SEM Sub Committee for review
  2. Strategic Enrolment Management (SEM) for endorsement
  3. Board of Governors (BoG) for review and final approval

They are then sent for validation to the Credential Validation Service (CVS) and finally, submitted to the Ministry of Colleges, and Universities (MCU) for funding approval.
