Student-Staff Consultative Committee
Role of Student-Staff Consultative Committee
A Student-Staff Consultative Committee (SSCC) has been formed for each campus of ACAP. The SSCC is a forum for the student voice to be heard, considered and answered. Each SSCC will provide direct and independent advice on student experience, feedback on learning and teaching and any other aspect that is considered significant to student experience. Each SSCC will support, assist and promote the growth and development of courses through the communication of the student voice and act as a conduit for this advice to the campus leadership and the Academic Board.
The Chair, normally the Campus Academic Manager, shall ensure that each SSCC fulfils its responsibilities, and that matters are followed up and reported to the Academic Board, taking action as appropriate.
