Geordie Barker’s notes from the Curriculum Committee Meeting held on Thursday the 3rd of July at 10am in the J T Reid Room, Faculty of the VCA.

Academic Board Policies
The main content for the meeting surrounded a new series of policies approved by the Academic Board for implementation. Essentially these policies are University of Melbourne policies that will replace the current policies in place at the Faculty of the VCA.

The policies in question are named as follows:
Unsatisfactory Progress
Advanced Standing (Credit)
Deferment
Over-Enrollment
Course Duration
Leave of Absence
Breadth Study
Elite Athletes & Performers
Defense Reservists & Emergency Volunteers
Remission of Debt Policy

Su Baker submitted a memo stating that the “Unsatisfactory Progress Policy is deemed to be probelmatic, in particular for VCA Drama and therefore a decision must be made regarding course progression in this area.” Read more

Su Baker as part of the VCA Curriculum Committee has requested that a sub committee be set up in the lead up to the next VCA Curriculum Committee Meeting to “inform the decision-making to update the old VCA policies to come into line with current University policy.”

Due to my position on the Comittee (Undergraduate Representative), I have requested to be included as a student representative.

A summary of the VCA Curriculum Committee Meeting will be posted in the next few days for student analysis and discussion. It is not possible to post the document on the internet due to privacy conditions, although an enrolled student can request the minutes from Rebecca Bywater, Assistant to the head of the VCA.
