WQB Subcommittees

1. Three faculty members from different Faculties (where possible) for each subcommittee. Normally, committee members should have experience teaching the course designation type they are approving.
2. One person from the University Curriculum and Institutional Liaison (UCIL) Office (non-voting, for administrative support).
3. The Chair of SCUS or AVPLT will serve as Chair for each of the subcommittees.

1. On an annual basis, Faculty representatives to SCUS will submit names for the five curriculum subcommittees.
2. Faculties should follow their own process when submitting names for consideration.
3. To be considered for a committee nominated individuals would normally have experience teaching within the designated category (e.g., having taught a W course, or a B-Soc course).
4. Membership will be for a two-year term, with at least one member of the committee remaining in place for continuity.
5. Selection of committee members will be made by the Chair of SCUS or AVPLT, with input from the existing committee members as needed.
6. The Chair of SCUS or AVPLT will make every effort to include members from three different Faculties on each committee, and representatives from all Faculties spanning all five sub-committees.

1. Taking into consideration the need for coordination and development of undergraduate curriculum within the University, WQB subcommittees shall:
   • Receive and review applications for WQB designations, ensure they meet the expectations of General Education as included in this document, and forward recommendations to SCUS.
   • Consider and recommend to SCUS policy recommendations concerning WQB requirements, including transfer credit where necessary.
   • Recommend procedural changes such as refining the draft forms (Appendix III) used to certify courses to ensure processes meet the needs of faculty experts serving on the sub-committees.
2. The subcommittee quorum shall be two voting members.

All five subcommittees are currently chaired by Paul Kingsbury, Associate Vice-President, Learning and Teaching.
