Teaching and Learning Committee

The Teaching and Learning Committee is a sub‑committee of the Academic Senate.

Chaired by the Senior Deputy Vice‑Chancellor (Academic), it serves as the principal advisory body to the Academic Senate on all matters relating to teaching and learning. The Committee plays a key role in upholding the quality and integrity of the University’s academic activities and guiding the strategic direction of teaching and learning across the institution.

Elections are an important part of the University's governance, providing staff and students with opportunities to contribute to decision-making processes and represent the interests of their peers.

Elections for staff and student positions on the University Council, Academic Senate, and College Boards are conducted by Legal and Governance Services, with the University Secretary acting as the Returning Officer.
