The Curriculum and Academic Policies Council (CAPC), serves two curricular purposes. One is to develop, revise, and recommend academic creation of new, existing or elimination of existing academic programs sent by faculty. The other is 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.
An Executive Committee (CAPC Exec), comprised of the Chair, Vice Chair, Recording Secretary, Chair of General Education Committee, Chair of University Policies Committee, Chair of Program Review Committee, Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs, Dean of the Graduate School, Chair of Teacher Education Council, and the immediate past chair of CAPC, meet monthly to generate the agenda for the monthly meetings of the general assembly.
