Academic Governance
ACAP Vision
A strong governance structure is in place to ensure quality delivery of ACAP’s Programs.
College Council
The College Council is empowered by ACAP Board delegation as the effective governing body of the College.
It has overall responsibility for the institution’s funding, strategic direction and governance.
Academic Council
The Academic Council is empowered by ACAP Board delegation to oversee the academic pursuits of ACAP.
There is an important separation of powers between College Council and Academic Council. Whilst the
Academic Council reports to the College Council, Academic Council has been created by ACAP Board
delegation. Accordingly, Academic Council is independent of College Council with regard to academic
matters.
Five committees inform the Academic Council
- Course Advisory Committees
- Human Research Ethics Committee
- Research and Higher Degree (Research) Committee
- Results Review Committee, and
- Learning and Teaching Committee, which has the following standing committees
- Course Development Groups
- Course Review Committee
- Educator Advisory Committees
- Student Advisory Committees
- VET Reference Group, and
- Survey Committee
