The Academic Council is designed to ensure the appropriate consultation and involvement of staff, students and faculty in program development, decision making, and curriculum priorities. The council acts in an advisory capacity to the President in all academic matters.
The responsibilities of Academic Council include:
To develop and maintain academic standards
To set curriculum objectives
To oversee or delegate the development of course curricula
To ensure routine review and updating of curriculum
To establish language requirements for the program
To establish admissions criteria
Acsenda School of Management (ASM) offers students interested in pursuing a BBA degree a unique
learning opportunity in a cross cultural environment where classes are small, student/faculty interactions
are valued, and where the emphasis is on academic quality and student support.
The ASM Academic Council performs a vital role in ensuring that this commitment to program quality
and student learning is paramount. The Council approves the curriculum, monitors student achievement,
and makes recommendations to the President to ensure continuous improvement. The Council also has
responsibility for recommending the awarding of degrees when students complete their programs of study
and for maintaining liaison with the Degree Quality Assessment Board of British Columbia. The Council
membership includes faculty and administrative representatives as well as a number of external
appointments with experience in teaching, research and governance in various Canadian universities and
colleges and ministries of advanced education.
I hope you will consider choosing Acsenda School of Management and on behalf of my colleagues on the
Academic Council I bid you welcome.
Best wishes,
Glen M Farrell, B.Sc., M.A., Ph.D., LLD (Hon.)

Research Ethics Policy
Acsenda School of Management is accountable for the research carried out in its own jurisdiction or under its auspices. ASM endorses the principles set out in the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, Tri-Council Policy Statement: Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans, 1998 (with 2000, 2002 and 2005 amendments). The primary mission of Acsenda School of Management is teaching. Therefore, research requiring human subjects will be limited to that involving minimal risk.
Library Facilities and Course
Students in the BBA program have access to an online library that allows access to more than 5,000 journals, newspapers, and industry magazines.
Acsenda School of Management provides a mandatory Library Research course that all students are expected to complete as a prerequisite to their degree courses. Students are registered for this course during their first term. The purpose of the course is to facilitate effective learning practices and improve the results of studying. Students will also learn about educational resources that are available in the Greater Vancouver area. Knowledge obtained from this course will significantly improve students’ searching skills. In order to take full advantage of this course students are encouraged to bring their own laptops with Internet access, and a library card from the public library (preferably from the Vancouver Public Library) to class sessions.
The Official Calendar of Acsenda School of Management
The Calendar of Acsenda School of Management includes descriptions of all programs offered leading to a baccalaureate degree and of all courses offered by the college.

The Calendar is provided in a printed version and as an On-line Calendar (www.acsenda.com). Policies, procedures, programs and courses are subject to periodic additions, deletions, amendments and revisions. When such changes are approved by Academic Council, they are entered in the On-line Calendar before the next term in which the changes come into effect. Therefore the On-line Calendar is recognized as the Official Calendar of the School.
