Going forward

Reflecting upon this past year, we have several areas we wish to focus on in the year and years to come to support the university.

Focus areas include

  • Implementing a clarified mandate and scope
  • Redefining academic integrity
  • Rethinking assessment for a universal approach
  • Renewing our programming and offerings
  • Restructuring our portfolios*

*The forthcoming restructure will see the division consolidating into two core portfolios: Student Academic Success (SAS) and Curriculum & Teaching Innovation (CTI).  The SAS portfolio will enrich student experiences through the Centre for Academic Communication, Math and Stats Assistance Centre, and our student awards: JCURA and VKURA. The CTI portfolio will support faculty, instructors, and TAs in curriculum development, teaching excellence, grants and more. A new portfolio within CTI: Curriculum and Development, will be developed that includes curriculum designers dedicated to STEM and universal design for learning.

Lastly, the Community-Engaged Learning office will be moving to Co-op and Career Services in November 2023, to better align with UVic’s experiential learning mandate.
