Education Council
Established by the College and Institute Act, Education Council’s role is to ensure
educational quality at North Island College. Education Council has two main functions
in this regard:
- To review and approve curriculum and policies that relate to academic standing,
academic standards and evaluation of student performance; and
- To advise the Board of Governors on the development of educational policy (e.g.
related to the implementation and/or cancellation of courses and programs, evaluation
of programs and educational services, terms of affiliation with other post-secondary
bodies, qualifications for admission policies, and criteria for awarding certificates,
diplomas and degrees).
