ORDERING OF THE AGENDA

At this point in the Agenda the Chair will:

advise members about any matter on the Agenda not included in Section II, that members have requested 2 days prior to the meeting be so included; and

ask the Committee that matters on the Agenda in Sections III, and IV for ratification, approval, noting or acceptance of recommendations, be so accepted.

SECTION I: STRATEGIC ISSUES FOR DISCUSSION AND DECISION

SECTION II: MATTERS FOR DISCUSSION AND DECISION

8.0 CHAIR’S REPORT

8.1 The Chair will report on matters of interest that have arisen since the previous

meeting including:

Update on the ‘Top 20’ Project

Report on the national meeting of Deputy Vice Chancellors (Academic). For noting

9.0 AUSTRALIAN QUALIFICATIONS FRAMEWORK PROGRESS REPORT

9.1 At the 5 September 2013 meeting (5/2013), Academic Committee considered and

approved the AQF Implementation Plan (2013/0007111), previously considered at its 2/2012 meeting. The Plan described the status of policy compliance, program compliance, change management, communications to stakeholders, and updates to business processes and systems.

9.2 As the requirements of the AQF are to be met by 1 January 2015 a Report to

Academic Committee on the Implementation of the Australian Qualifications Framework (2014/0000504) including an updated Implementation Plan outlining progress to date is attached for the consideration of the Committee.

9.3 The Chair will introduce this item. Recommendation 9.4 The Academic Committee is asked to approve the revised AQF Implementation Plan

(2014/0000504).

For consideration

10.0 NOTINGS ON ACADEMIC TRANSCRIPTS – DISCUSSION PAPER 10.1 The Academic Committee is asked to consider the attached Discussion Paper on

Notings on Academic Transcripts (2014/0000505). The purpose of the Discussion Paper is to consider whether notings for items such as academic probation, exclusion and disciplinary action should be recorded on a student’s academic transcript and if so, whether they should remain on the academic transcript permanently.

10.2 Currently the University produces two forms of the academic transcript available to students: the Official Academic Transcript and the Unofficial Academic Transcript. The University also has a third transcript type which is internal and only visible to staff.




10.3 Both the official and unofficial transcripts comprise the record of the student’s enrolment in programs and courses, enrolment status, credit awarded, the grade obtained for each course and their cumulative GPA. The Unofficial Academic Transcript may also include a more extensive range of notings related to academic progress and disciplinary findings. Notings on the Official Academic Transcript are limited to those relating to the exclusion of a student for failing to maintain good academic standing or for disciplinary reasons.

10.4 There are two key reasons as to why the University records a noting related to academic progress and/or misconduct on official academic transcripts: readmission to the University after exclusion and advice to admission offices of other universities. In certain circumstances and after a prescribed period of time, students who have been excluded may apply for readmission at the discretion of the University. The Discussion Paper considers how long a noting should remain on a student’s transcript; particularly where the noting is for exclusion due to poor academic standing.

10.5 The Discussion Paper highlights that given student records in relation to academic

standing, student misconduct and academic misconduct are held permanently in the PeopleSoft database and the data is configured to display differently on the three transcript types, the question arises as to whether all actions should be maintained on the student’s record either permanently or indeed for the same period of time. The administrative ease of maintaining a full record for all students on a database needs to be balanced with the potential impact on Griffith alumni and the possibility that notings could serve as an ‘indirect form of punishment’ if displayed permanently.

10.6 The Discussion Paper proposes three options for Academic Committee’s consideration: 1. Maintain the status quo; 2. Maintain the record for its business use; or 3. Use the record for business and external reporting requirements.

10.7 Option 3 is recommended to the Academic Committee.

10.8 The Chair will introduce this item. Recommendation 10.9 The Academic Committee is asked to consider the attached Discussion Paper on

Notings on Academic Transcripts (2014/0000505), and determine which option is to be adopted.

For consideration

11.0 HLS NEW PROGRAM PROPOSAL 9355 GRIFFITH UNIVERSITY PREPARATION PROGRAM

11.1 The Academic Committee, on the recommendation of the Programs Committee

(4/2014), is asked to consider the attached proposal to introduce a new Griffith University Preparation Program (9355), as contained in 2014/0001132, for introduction from 23 June to 19 December 2014.

11.2 The 80CP Griffith University Preparation Program is a tertiary enabling program

providing a pathway for those who wish to undertake university study but lack the formal qualifications required for University entry to an undergraduate degree. This would include those who didn’t complete year 12, or did not achieve minimum university entrance requirements in Year 12, and mature age applicants who would like to undertake university study but lack confidence in their ability to achieve academically. The program is being established in response to a successful bid to the Higher Education Funding Branch of the Department of Education for the University to expand its tertiary preparation offerings. The University received approval and




funds to proceed with the development of the program, the first offering of which will run from 23 June to 19 December 2014 (26 weeks).

11.3 To be eligible for admission to the Griffith University Preparation Program, an

applicant must meet the following criteria:

Have successfully completed high school studies at year 10 level, including English. If previous schooling was not completed in English, evidence of English language proficiency will be required

Have not previously attempted university study since leaving high school. 11.4 This is a non-award program. In order to complete the Griffith University Preparation

Program, a student must successfully complete all four prescribed courses:

Introduction to Communication and Literacy

Introduction to Sciences

Introduction to Lifespan and Social Development

Introduction to Applied Mathematics and Computing.

Upon successful completion of the program students receive an Admission Rank up to 80, based on their final GPA, and may be eligible for admission to programs with an English 4SA prerequisite. Students seeking admission to programs requiring a Maths prerequisite will be directed to existing maths/science bridging courses offered by the University.

11.5 The Chair Programs Committee will introduce this item. Recommendation 11.6 The Academic Committee, on the recommendation of Programs Committee (4/2014),

the proposal that the English Language Working Party (ELWP) be renamed and established as a university committee that reports to the Internationalisation Advisory Committee.

13.3 At its 1/2014 meeting the Internationalisation Advisory Committee considered and

recommended the proposal to formalise the ELWP as a sub-committee of the Internationalisation Advisory Committee (2014/0005756). The Proposal and the draft Constitution are attached for the consideration of the Committee.

13.4 The Chair, Internationalisation Advisory Committee will introduce this item.

Recommendation 13.5 The Academic Committee, on the recommendation of the Internationalisation

Advisory Committee (1/2014) is asked to consider the proposal to formalise the English Language Working Party as a sub-committee of the Internationalisation Advisory Committee, as described in 2014/0005756 and detailed in the draft Constitution for the English Language Advisory Committee (2014/0005751), for immediate implementation.

5361 RESEARCH HIGHER DEGREE QUALIFYING PROGRAM 62.1 The Acting Chair, on the recommendation of Programs Committee (8 May 2014), has

executively approved a proposal to withdraw the Research Higher Degree Qualifying Program (5361), as contained in 2014/0001103, with a last admit term of semester 1 2014.

62.2 The 80CP Research Higher Degree Qualifying Program is being withdrawn and

replaced with an 80CP Graduate Diploma. The introduction of an 80CP Graduate Diploma was the first step in a staged approach to alternative research pathways for entry into HDR programs. Each Academic Group has also developed its own Graduate Diploma award. The current HDR Qualifying Program is being withdrawn for the following reasons: - The program is non-award and it is expected that the number of students who

complete the program successfully but are unable to progress to the Master of Philosophy or Doctor of Philosophy may increase. It is therefore timely that such students will have a positive and official record of their studies.

- The HDR Qualifying Program is also a full-fee program; meaning domestic students are not eligible for FEE-HELP.




- Further, international students’ home governments often will not pay for a non-award program.

62.3 Students currently enrolled and those who have been offered and accepted places in

the 3145 (semester 2, 2014) and 3151(semester 1, 2015) intake will be permitted to complete their non-award program – duration of 2 semesters. All endeavours will be made to enable students to transition into the new Graduate Diploma (Research) should they elect to do so.


approve the proposal to withdrawal the Research Higher Degree Qualifying Program (5361), as contained in 2014/0001103, with a last admit term of semester 1 2014.

68.2 The Queensland College of Art proposes changes to the Bachelor of Digital Media in

order to maximise student choice of major pathways and enhance the comprehensive and interdisciplinary nature of the program.

105.0 CLASS TIMETABLING POLICY AND CLASS TIMETABLING PROCEDURES

105.1 The Class Timetabling Policy and Procedures (2008/0016295) document has not

been amended since 2008, and as such does not reflect current practice. The Enterprise Timetabling Upgrade Project has necessitated a number of changes to current class timetabling processes which were taken into account during the document review.

the document has been separated out into two distinct documents: Class Timetabling Policy, and Class Timetabling Procedures. The current Public Holidays Policy has been incorporated into the Class Timetabling Policy.

105.3 The Class Timetabling Procedures (2014/0005112) were approved by Learning and

Teaching Committee (1/2014). Academic Committee is asked to consider the attached Class Timetabling Policy as described in 2014/0005129.

106.0 END OF SEMESTER CENTRALLY ADMINISTERED EXAMINATIONS POLICY

106.1 On the recommendation of the Learning and Teaching Committee (1/2014), members

are asked to consider revisions to the End of Semester Centrally Administered Examinations Policy which have made to facilitate the management of examination locations for online courses.

106.2 The key change is set out below:

Section 5 of this policy currently states the following:




The on-campus examination will normally be conducted at the campus at which the examination is conducted for students enrolled in the on-campus class or at the home campus of the School if there is no on-campus class for that semester. It is proposed to change this sentence to the following: The on-campus examination will normally be conducted at the campus at which the examination is conducted for students enrolled in the on-campus class, or at the most suited campus as determined by Examinations and Timetabling if there is no on-campus class for that semester. This change will assist Examinations and Timetabling (EXT) staff to manage the examination locations for online courses. The ‘home campus’ of the School is no longer available for use by EXT as the coding for online courses was changed in 2013 from a host campus, off-campus, online to online, online, online. As a result EXT plan to use Logan campus as the default campus for invigilated examinations in on-line courses, a manual process will then be used to determine the most suitable campus. Students may still apply for alternate examination venues for example when they have another exam at another campus. The revised wording has been kept as generic as possible to allow for further developments.

106.3 Other minor changes to the policy include:

Inclusion of reference to ‘online courses’ throughout the policy.

Removal of references to the Logan Accelerated Program (i.e. trimesters).

Updated Section 12 to state that applications for alternate examination sittings must be submitted online rather than in writing to Student Administration.

The addition of the following wording to the policy description as OUA examinations are managed by a third party (Monash) – ‘this policy does not apply to OUA students’.

The second reference to online in Section 5 should also be deleted. Recommendation 106.4 The Academic Committee is asked to approve the revised End of Semester Centrally

Administered Examinations Policy (2014/0005117) to Academic Committee, for immediate implementation.

Assessment and Academic Achievement Standards (2014/0005114), for immediate implementation.
