Introduction
In compliance with the The Quality Assurance Framework (QAF) developed by the Council of Ontario Universities, York has developed and implemented the York University Quality Assurance Protocols and Procedures (YUQAP) as the core of its quality assurance process. The YUQAP applies to all York undergraduate and graduate degree/diploma programs, whether offered solely or in cooperation with other institutions. It outlines the York University’s Quality Assurance Procedures for
- New degree program approvals
- New programs with expedited approvals
- Major modifications
- Cyclical program reviews
- Closure of programs
At York the Vice-Provost Academic oversees the administration and reporting functions associated with the York University Quality Assurance Procedures, working closely with colleagues in Senate and across Divisions/Faculties on program development and program reviews, For detailed information about the YUQAP and related procedures and forms, please visit http://yuqap.info.yorku.ca/
