The Academic Council is the senior academic approval body for Saskatchewan Polytechnic, accountable to the Senior Management Council. Academic Council helps to ensure Sask Polytech provides high-quality, job-focused education that meets labour market needs as they evolve.
The Council's primary responsibilities are to:
- Recommend approval of new programs
- Approve major revisions to current programs
- Provide input on academic standards, policies and procedures
Decisions made by the council consider benefits to the organization as a whole, not just benefits to individual schools or programs.
