The Curriculum and Academic Policies Council (CAPC), serves two curricular purposes:
- To develop, revise, and recommend academic creation of new, existing or elimination of existing academic programs sent by faculty.
- To develop, revise, and recommend academic policies.
These purposes are carried out in a legislative assembly (comprised of elected faculty, elected or appointed students and administration) that recommends to the Academic Vice President and Provost curricular and academic policy matters.
CAPC exists as a shared governance body, functioning under the authority of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education, the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the System, APSCUF, and the System Board of Governors.
The CAPC Executive Committee meets twice a month to discuss curriculum and policy issues, as well as to generate the agenda for the monthly meetings of the general assembly.
