Academic Committees
Overview
The Academic Committees Office serves as the secretariat for the Senate and the Committees of the Senate. It manages the approval process for academic proposals and manages the process for the external accreditation of new programmes through the NZVCC's Committee on University Academic Programmes.
The Academic Committees office has the responsibility for the administration of the University of Otago Human Ethics Committee. This includes receiving and processing all applications for ethical approval, advising academic staff and senior students in relation to the Guidelines for Ethical Practices in Research and Teaching Involving Human Participants.
The Office also manages the process of Graduating Year Reviews which are required of all new programmes by CUAP.
