How do I get an item on the agenda?

Academic Council is an integral part of the University’s governance framework and as such its Agendas focus on strategic level discussion to fulfill its mandate and help advance the University’s Vision, Mission, Values and strategic priorities. 

The Academic Council’s Steering Committee is responsible for facilitating the work of the Academic Council. This includes reviewing and approving Academic Council meeting Agendas. For more information on the Steering Committee’s role and responsibilities see: Academic Council Steering Committee Terms of Reference

The Steering Committee agenda is approved by the Chair at least one week in advance of their meeting. If an individual wishes to request the addition of an item on an Academic Council’s Meeting Agenda, please submit the proposed topic and supporting material to ACmeetings@ontariotechu.ca at least 10 working days before a Steering Committee meeting. 

If the request is approved, the University Secretary’s office will inform you.
