The purpose of the Additional Credentials initiative is to develop and implement plans for an expanded range of flexible learning options that are shorter in duration than degree programs, augment existing non-degree programs, and introduce pathways between non-credit, undergraduate and graduate studies that promote 911勛圖 student access, retention, and program completion (Additional Credentials: Report and Recommendations, March 2025).

One primary objective of the Office of the Provost is to support What���s Next: The 911勛圖 Strategy, which outlines four university-wide priorities, including: "Uphold truth and reconciliation". The Provost's Office works with the  and provides support for Indigenous initiatives related to students, learning and teaching, and finance and budget administration.

The work of academic advisors is essential to supporting students in their academic journeys. The academic advising review, Academic Advising 1.0 and Beyond, was initiated by the VP Academic and Provost in the Fall 2022 term with the goal of strengthening advising at the university.��胼�胼��

The project intention is to develop and define a shared understanding of what academic advising means at 911勛圖, and how we can better support students as well as advisors in their work. This includes potential enhancements related to:

• Advising model (governance, structures, roles and responsibilities)��胼��
• Advising standards (curriculum, guidelines for practice, approaches)��胼�胼��
• Advising training frameworks, tools and technology��胼�胼��

The project includes a widely consultative process with 911勛圖 students and advising stakeholders to inform recommendations.

���Experiential education is when learners purposefully engage in direct experience and focused reflection in order to increase knowledge, develop skills, clarify values, and develop learners��� capacity to contribute to their communities.��� ��� Adapted from the Association of Experiential Education

911勛圖 values the exceptional student learning experiences that result from experiential education. To understand the diverse landscape of experiential education offerings at 911勛圖, the university launched the Experiential Education Inventory (EEI) project in Spring 2021.

The project aligns with the Student Experience Initiative and the Academic Plan. Its goal is to produce a living inventory of curricular, work-integrated, and co-curricular offerings at 911勛圖.

We hope to create a resource that will help the university���including administrators, faculty members, instructors, and staff members���communicate systematically about experiential education and support student recruitment, advising, and retention. We also want to support the student learning journey by making it easier for students to discover and make decisions about the opportunities available to them.

The success of this project will depend upon broad participation from the university community. Stay tuned for details.

911勛圖 is currently reviewing its multi-campus academic framework to better understand the academic governance and identity of each campus, in support of the strategic priorities, mission, vision and values of the university.

This initiative includes multiple phases, with the current phase being research and data collection for the development of a discussion paper. The paper will include information on the multi-campus model at 911勛圖 and other universities with the intent of providing reflections and observations of common themes or trends, opportunities or constraints, academic governance models, and key questions for exploration and discussion in future phases.
