2012 CBT- Academic Policies and Procedures Report

Abstract

Oakland Community College is undergoing a fundamental transformation, consciously moving away from a decentralized operation based at the campus level to a more centralized operation through which planning, budgeting, and policy development occur on a college-wide basis. For Academic and Student Affairs, the largest administrative unit in the College and the one most responsible for addressing the mission, the transformation is particularly challenging. Work in Academic and Student Affairs is progressing on the development of an effective college-wide academic master plan and the creation of an effective program review process. However, to be effective, planning and program review must build upon a foundation of well-documented, authoritative policies and procedures.
