Criteria

The PQAPA framework includes criteria that define exemplary college program quality assurance processes.  Each relates to a valued attribute of quality improvement.  These attributes may be simplified as follows:
 The following five (5) criteria define institutional policies and practices that a college will have developed and implemented to ensure the quality of their programs.  It is assumed that all colleges will extend their tradition of openness and transparency to these processes.

To what extent does your college's quality assurance process ensure:

Criterion 1
 The existence and communication of information to support admission, credit for prior learning, promotion, graduation, and other related academic policies support program development and student achievement of program learning outcomes.

Criterion 2
Programs conform to the Framework for Programs of Instruction (2003, Minister’s Binding Policy Directive) and the Credentials Framework, are consistent with accepted college system nomenclature/program titling principles, and maintain relevance

Criterion 3
Methods of program delivery and student evaluation are consistent with the program learning outcomes.

Criterion 4
Human, physical, financial, and support resources to support student achievement of program learning outcomes are available and accessible.

Criterion 5
Regular program quality assessment that involves faculty, students, industry representatives, and others as appropriate for the purpose of continual improvement is in place and happens.
