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:

  1. to review and approve curriculum and policies that relate to academic standing, academic standards and evaluation of student performance; and
  2. 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).
