The purpose of the CQAAP audit is to assess the effectiveness of college-wide quality assurance mechanisms, with the goal of continuous improvement.
The self-study consisted of Seneca’s assessment of its quality assurance processes as they relate to six standards and thirty-two requirements. The self-study required us to provide evidence from our academic programs to demonstrate how we follow our policies and procedures. Seneca completed two previous quality audits in 2006 and 2011.

Next StepsNow that the self-study has been submitted, we will begin to prepare the participants for an intensive two-day site visit that will take place in March 2017. The visit includes a number of round table sessions with faculty, students, and administrators, as well as representatives from Program Advisory Committees, Board of Governors, HR, Library, ITS, and all other service areas.
The visit is a terrific opportunity to promote and showcase all the great work we are doing here at Seneca!
Jennifer Parker is coordinating the site visit preparations. If you would like more information on the audit, please send an email to Jennifer.Parker@senecacollege.ca.
