SGA Senate- Academic Affairs Committee
About
The Academic Affairs Committee (AA) addresses matters of student interest regarding academic policy, curriculum, and faculty-student relations and brings concerns to the Senate. Committee members sit on the Curricular Committee and the Student Affairs Committee of the Faculty Senate and address student concerns at meetings. The committee formed and oversees the College of Arts and Sciences Dean’s Advisory Board: a group of twelve undergraduate students that advise the Dean on student concerns. The committee engages in projects intended to improve academic life and accessibility across all colleges. Recent projects include efforts to include course descriptions in registration information, increase the number of credits allowed per semester, and review academic advising.
Current Projects:
- Retaining UVM email addresses after graduation.
- Increase course evaluation transparency to gain insight on Student Accessibility Services (link:https://www.uvm.edu/academicsuccess/student_accessibility_services) and the effectiveness of D1/D2 courses.
- Enhancing Course Descriptions for student courses.
- Creation and publication of a first-year FAQ list.
