Undergraduate Program Councils (UPCs)

As per Senate Policy 45: Governance Councils, Section 6.1 (opens in new window) , Undergraduate Program Councils (UPC’s) will be constituted in a manner most appropriate for the needs of the respective Department(s)/ School(s)/ Faculty(/ies)/Program(s) providing undergraduate education. Such Councils are mandatory for all interdisciplinary programs, but not required where a Department/School Council has jurisdiction over a program.

Undergraduate Program Councils must be approved by the Academic Governance and Policy Committee (AGPC) and Senate before they should be implemented. Any revisions or modifications outside of titles/roles and university approved name changes must either be re-approved through AGPC and Senate or go to Senate for information depending on what has been revised/modified. Refer to the Senate Agenda Submission Schedule for submission deadlines. 

Please contact the Senate office at senate@torontomu.ca (opens in new window)  for further guidance. All Senate approved Bylaws are posted on the Senate website.
