2011 Academic Plan Renewal

The current academic plan for Saint Mary's University was approved by Senate in 2008 to be in effect through 2011. Following discussions and consultations through the Fall of 2010, a process was identified to renew the Academic Plan beyond 2011. That process includes consultation with faculty, students, staff, our university partners and communities of interest through as wide a means of communication as possible. Consultations will take place into the Fall 2011. It is intended that a draft of the renewed Academic Plan will be available by early Fall 2011 for further discussion. The final document will then go to Senate for approval and the Board of Governors for endorsement.

2008-2011 Academic Plan

The 2002 - 2007 Academic Plan, approved by Senate in May 2002, guided academic development at Saint Mary's over the past five years. Academic planning, however, is a dynamic process, and it was time to update, refine and adjust the Academic Plan to meet changing circumstances, both inside and outside the University. Under the guidance of the Senate Academic Planning Committee, and following a process of consultation, a revised Academic Plan was drafted.

Members of the Saint Mary's community offered feedback on the draft revised plan at "town hall" meetings on November 19th and November 22nd, 2007 and those unable to attend were invited to submit written comments. All feedback was considered by the Senate Academic Planning Committee when the draft Plan was revised for submission to Senate.
