Teaching and Learning Committee

On 2 May 2007 Academic Senate approved the change of name from the Curriculum, Teaching and Learning Committee to the Teaching and Learning Committee.

The Teaching and Learning Committee (TLC) is a committee of the Academic Senate. The Committee has primary responsibility to advise on strategic policy, planning and quality assurance in relation to curriculum matters and teaching and learning including:

• teaching and learning processes and practices and the University's Teaching Management Plan;
• the conduct of undergraduate and postgraduate coursework courses and programs including admission and progression;
• scrutiny of new coursework programs and the review of existing coursework programs; and
• improving access, participation, retention and success for all students.

To assist it in its work the Committee has the following sub-committees:

• The Policy Development Sub-Committee advises the TLC on strategic planning and quality assurance in relation to teaching and learning policy;
  
• The Student Progress Sub-Committee is responsible for determining appeals made by individual students under the provisions of the Procedures for Review of Progress and advises the TLC of outcomes.

Each Faculty also has a Teaching and Learning Committee which reports to and advises the Pro Vice-Chancellor and the Faculty Board for the respective Faculty. The Assistant Dean (Teaching and Learning) chairs the Faculty committee and is a member of the University committee.

The University of Newcastle's teaching and learning environment leads the higher education sector in many areas. One of the clearest indicators of a university's success is the calibre of its students and graduates. Year after year, the University of Newcastle's students and graduates make their mark on the regional, national and international stages.
