1. Welcome and Approval of the Agenda
a) Approval of the Agenda
The Chair called the meeting to order and welcomed all members and visitors. The Chair then asked if members had any questions or concerns relating to the agenda. There were none.
It was decided to move items 3a and 3b to follow item 3i.
The Chair added Changes to the Voluntary Withdrawal Policy as an item under Other Business.

Minutes | Board of Undergraduate Studies | Thursday, May 16, 2019 | Page 2
b) Business Arising The Chair noted the items of business arising detailed within the meeting materials.
3. Undergraduate Curriculum Changes: Program Additions, Deletions, Changes
c) Bachelor of Commerce (BComm) Program Committee: Proposed New Major, with Co-op Option, and Minor (Sport and Event Management) [Motion-S]
The Chair invited Sara Mann, Associate Dean Academic in the Gordon S. Lang School of Business and Economics, to elaborate on the proposed changes.
S. Mann explained that the program was developed in reflection of significant student demand. It was noted that external reviewers expressed support for the program and advised them to keep the program somewhat small to begin. P. Tersigni added that the reviewers also noted that the program would provide great opportunities to explore the management of sport from non-traditional perspectives, including sport and sport events in Indigenous communities.
In response to a question regarding the starting cohort size, S. Mann responded that the first cohort would be 25-40 students, with 10 students in co-op.
A Member expressed concern that there is huge demand for this type of program and that there may be difficulty controlling offers. R. Darling noted that average cut-offs will be set appropriately to address the demand.
On a motion duly moved and seconded, it was RESOLVED, that on recommendation of the Bachelor of Commerce Program Committee, the Board of Undergraduate Studies accept and recommend Senate approve the proposed new major, co-op option, and minor in “Sport and Event Management” effective May 1, 2020, as presented.
d) Bachelor of Commerce (BComm) Program - Proposed New Minor in Business Data Analytics [Motion-S]
The Chair invited S. Mann to speak to the suite of proposed new minors.
S. Mann noted that business schools have become increasingly interdisciplinary and that the proposed changes seek to allow the University to be on the cutting edge of that shift. It was also noted that the new minors would benefit non-business students who wish to gain business acumen.
A Member questioned how many courses how many credits students would need to qualify for the Minor in Business Data Analytics and how common data analytics programs are at the undergraduate level. S. Mann responded that students would need 5.00 credits and that while there are many graduate level programs, no other minors in business analytics could be found.
Minutes of May 16, 2019 [Motion] Page 8 of 110
Minutes | Board of Undergraduate Studies | Thursday, May 16, 2019 | Page 3
A Member questioned if any consideration had been given to ways to support students who may not have sufficient skills to make it through the courses. One key example discussed were numeracy skills. S. Mann noted that the prerequisites address that issue and that the only minor that students may have some issue related to this was the Minor in Business Analytics, which was intended for Accounting and Econ[omics] students. The Board ultimately decided that the Department should be asked to further consider measures to support students and ensure student success particularly around numeracy skills.
In response to a question regarding if there was consultation with the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, especially related to MGMT*4140, Advanced Business Analytics, S. Mann responded that consultation was undertaken.
On a motion duly moved and seconded, it was RESOLVED, that on recommendation of the Bachelor of Commerce Program Committee, the Board of Undergraduate Studies accept and recommend Senate approve the proposed minor in Business Data Analytics and associated course addition, as presented.
e) Bachelor of Commerce (BComm) Program - Proposed New Minor in Entrepreneurship [Motion-S]
On a motion duly moved and seconded, it was RESOLVED, that on recommendation of the Bachelor of Commerce Program Committee, the Board of Undergraduate Studies accept and recommend Senate approve the proposed minor in Entrepreneurship, and associated course additions, as presented.
f) Bachelor of Commerce (BComm) Program - Proposed New Minor in International Business [Motion-S]
On a motion duly moved and seconded, it was RESOLVED, that on recommendation of the Bachelor of Commerce Program Committee, the Board of Undergraduate Studies accept and recommend Senate approve the proposed minor in International Business, and associated course addition, as presented.
g) Bachelor of Commerce (BComm) Program - Proposed New Minor in Project Management [Motion-S]
On a motion duly moved and seconded, it was RESOLVED, that on recommendation of the Bachelor of Commerce Program Committee, the Board of Undergraduate Studies accept and recommend Senate approve the proposed minor in Project Management, and associated course addition, as presented.
Minutes of May 16, 2019 [Motion] Page 9 of 110
Minutes | Board of Undergraduate Studies | Thursday, May 16, 2019 | Page 4
h) Bachelor of Commerce (BComm) Program - Proposed New Minor in Sustainable Business [Motion-S]
On a motion duly moved and seconded, it was RESOLVED, that on recommendation of the Bachelor of Commerce Program Committee, the Board of Undergraduate Studies accept and recommend Senate approve the proposed minor in Sustainable Business, and associated course addition, as presented.
i) Bachelor of Computing (BComp) Program - Proposed Program Change [Motion-S]
The Chair invited Karen Gordon to speak to the item.
K. Gordon noted that the BComp program has two majors, Software Engineering and Computer Science, and that the former had been designed for a smaller class size. It was noted that students switching into Software Engineering was resulting in a larger class size at times, and that the proposed change would change the process of switching majors to a system wherein there would be an admissions meeting held once a year where students could apply and have their potential transfer considered by a committee.
On a motion duly moved and seconded, it was RESOLVED, that on recommendation of the Bachelor of Computing Program Committee, the Board of Undergraduate Studies accept and recommend Senate approve the proposed application process for students to change majors within the Bachelor of Computing program, effective May 1, 2020, as presented.
j) Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) Program Committee - Proposed Admission Requirement Change [Motion-S]
K. Gordon explained that the current admission requirements allow for any two of the three high school science courses: 4U Physics, 4U Chemistry, or 4U Biology to be used. It was noted that Guelph is the only Engineering program in Ontario that does not require Physics for admission and that the change would require students to have 4U Physics and 4U Chemistry. The supports that will be offered to students who, in the meantime, do not have 4U Physics were explained. These supports include offering an equivalent course in the summer and hiring a TA to support students who have entered the program without 4U Physics.
In response to a question as to when the change would be effective, P. Tersigni noted that a two-year lead time is required in the Ontario system, and as such, it would be effective for the 2021-2022 academic calendar for the 2022 fall admissions cycle.
On a motion duly moved and seconded, it was RESOLVED, that on recommendation of the Bachelor of Engineering Program Committee, the Board of Undergraduate Studies accept and recommend Senate approve the proposed admission requirement change, to be added to the 2021-2022 calendar and effective for the fall 2022 admissions cycle, as presented.
Minutes of May 16, 2019 [Motion] Page 10 of 110
Minutes | Board of Undergraduate Studies | Thursday, May 16, 2019 | Page 5
a) Bachelor of Applied Science (BASc) Program Committee: Proposed Name Changes and Deletion of Co-op options (Adult Development, and Child, Youth & Family) [Motion-S]
The Chair elaborated on the proposal and related motions. It was noted that the changes represent an important restructuring of the programs, align with the accreditation of the College of Early Childhood Educators (CECE), and clarify and focus the various streams in the BASC program, in order to emphasize areas of strength within the Department. With regards to the removal of the co-op, the Chair noted the high rates of attrition for co-op students, as relatively few students complete the co-op program. In addition to students finding that practicum placements are more meaningful, the refusal of the College of Early Childhood Educators’ to recognize co-op as meeting practicum hours were cited as reasons to remove the co-op. In closing, the Chair noted that there will be a need to highlight to prospective students the value of practicum placements.
The Chair invited questions or comments.
In response to a question regarding the number of practicum students take, the Chair responded that students are required to take three 1.00 credit practicum courses.
A Member questioned why “sexuality” wasn’t included in the program title. The Chair responded that the department has a long historical trajectory and there is a desire to reflect that history. P. Tersigni noted that focus groups had been conducted with individuals taking campus tours and the proposed names resonated well.
On a motion duly moved and seconded, it was RESOLVED, that on recommendation of the Bachelor of Applied Science Program Committee, the Board of Undergraduate Studies accept and recommend Senate approve the proposed name change of the major in “Adult Development” to “Family Studies and Human Development”; and,
FURTHER RESOLVED, that on recommendation of the Bachelor of Applied Science Program Committee, the Board of Undergraduate Studies accept and recommend Senate approve the proposed name change of the major in “Child, Youth and Family” to “Child Studies”; and,
FURTHER RESOLVED, that on recommendation of the Bachelor of Applied Science Program Committee, the Board of Undergraduate Studies accept and recommend Senate approve the proposed deletion of the Co-op option in the Adult Development major; and,
FURTHER RESOLVED, that on recommendation of the Bachelor of Applied Science Program Committee, the Board of Undergraduate Studies accept and recommend Senate approve the proposed deletion of the Co-op option in the Child, Youth and Family major; and,
FURTHER RESOLVED, that on the recommendation of the Bachelor of Applied Science Program Committee, the Board of Undergraduate Studies approve the
Minutes of May 16, 2019 [Motion] Page 11 of 110
Minutes | Board of Undergraduate Studies | Thursday, May 16, 2019 | Page 6
related course deletion and changes within the Bachelor of Applied Science curriculum, as presented, and report to Senate for information.
b) Bachelor of Applied Science (BASc) Program Committee: Amendment to ECE College Pathways [Motion-S]
The Chair elaborated on the proposal and related motion, noting that due to the changes made to two of the Bachelor of Applied Science majors – Child Studies (renamed from Child, Youth, and Family) & Family Studies and Human Development (renamed from Adult Development), the current ECE College Pathways Agreement must be updated.
On a motion duly moved and seconded, it was RESOLVED, that on the recommendation of the Bachelor of Applied Science Program Committee, the Board of Undergraduate Studies accept and recommend Senate approve the proposed amendment to ECE College Pathways, as presented.
4. Undergraduate Curriculum Changes: Course Additions, Deletions, Changes
a) Bachelor of Applied Science (BASc) Program [Motion] The Chair invited Patricia Tersigni, Director, Academic Programs and Policy and Chair of the Calendar Review Committee, to speak to the proposed curriculum changes and respond to questions.
The Chair invited questions or comments.
A Member asked that “rest”, signifying a restriction, be added to the legend of terminology on the CRC Reports.
On a motion duly moved and seconded, it was RESOLVED, that on the recommendation of the Bachelor of Applied Science Program Committee, the Board of Undergraduate Studies approve the proposed changes to the Bachelor of Applied Science undergraduate curriculum as presented, and report to Senate for information.
b) Bachelor of Bachelor of Arts (BA) Program [Motion]
The Chair invited questions or comments.
A Member questioned if the BA program is placing increased emphasis on Indigenous history. The Chair noted that several departments, including History, Anthropology, and Sociology have Indigenous history courses and that Political Science is in the process of developing a course.
On a motion duly moved and seconded, it was RESOLVED, that on the recommendation of the Bachelor of Arts Program Committee, the Board of Undergraduate Studies approve the proposed changes to the Bachelor of Arts undergraduate curriculum as presented, and report to Senate

On a motion duly moved and seconded, it was RESOLVED, that on the recommendation of the Bachelor of Bio-Resource Management Program Committee, the Board of Undergraduate Studies approve the proposed changes to the Bachelor of Bio-Resource Management undergraduate curriculum as presented, and report to Senate for information.
d) Bachelor of Commerce (BComm) Program [Motion]
P. Tersigni noted that the University rarely changes the prefix of course subjects unless there is a significant reason to do so and that the change from ECON to FIN reflects that the College wishes to grow this area and that finance itself is a growing field.
On a motion duly moved and seconded, it was RESOLVED, that on the recommendation of the Bachelor of Commerce Program Committee, the Board of Undergraduate Studies approve the proposed changes to the Bachelor of Commerce undergraduate curriculum as presented, and report to Senate for information.

5. Other Business
a) Update from the Office of the Associate Vice-President (Academic)
The Chair invited Dr. Cate Dewey, Associate Vice-President (Academic), to provide an oral update with respect to upcoming initiatives and activity that will be of interest to the Board of Undergraduate Studies.
C. Dewey noted that she recently met with the Provost to discuss the benefits or detriments the current requirement to issue a major modification if 50% or more of a program moves either from DE to in-class or vice versa. Members noted the benefits of the University offering increased access to online courses. It was noted that the IQAP process states that with the Provosts’ approval the major modification provision may be waived. If the University chooses to take this approach, it would be expected that proposed changes be outlined in a letter to the Provost who may waive the major modification as necessary. The Board discussed the benefits of this potential approach, as well as advertising an online BA program. The Board agreed that should the University choose to advertise and promote an online only B.A., it would need to ensure there are robust supports available for students.
The Board decided that time should be dedicated to a conversation regarding processes of approving increased numbers of DE courses, transitioning from in-course to DE, necessary student supports, and so forth, should be held at the Board’s fall meeting.
b) 2018-19 Board Evaluation Survey Results
Minutes of May 16, 2019 [Motion] Page 14 of 110

d) Governance Review Information & Considerations
It was noted that Secretariat has provided a phased plan for a comprehensive review of the Senate and its bodies, which was enclosed for the Board’s information.
e) Changes to Voluntary Withdrawal Policy [Motion – S]
The Chair communicated that at the last meeting of the Board, the Voluntary Withdrawal Policy was approved and duly accepted by Senate. Referring to a memo provided to Members, the Chair noted that additional proposed changes would emphasize the withdrawal process specific to students in the DVM program.
On a motion duly moved and seconded, it was RESOLVED, that the Board of Undergraduate Studies accept and recommend that Senate approve the changes to the Voluntary Withdrawal Policy in the Undergraduate Academic Calendar, effective 2019-2020, as presented.
The meeting was duly adjourned at approximately 3:05 p.m.

Subject: 3. Committee Education and Orientation
Meeting: September 26, 2019
a) University Governance and Committee Mandate At the first meeting of each year for each of Senate’s standing committees, members are invited to review a variety of information related to Senate and the particular work of the respective standing committee or board. Information particular to the work of Senate and the Board of Undergraduate Studies (BUGS) follows below. Elaboration will be offered at the meeting, in addition to an opportunity for questions and discussion related to Senate and the BUGS mandate. In order to support orientation activities, the following documents are provided, in addition to those referred to throughout the text below: • Governance at the University Guelph – The Role of Senate • University of Guelph Mission Statement • Role and Responsibilities of Senators
i) Overview of Senate and Bicameral Governance The University of Guelph, like all universities in Ontario, was formally created through provincial statute, which, in the case of this institution, is the University of Guelph Act (1964). The Act prescribes a “bicameral” governance structure common to Canadian universities and comprised of both a Senate and a Board of Governors. Generally, the Board of Governors is responsible for fiscal oversight of the University, while Senate is responsible for the oversight of academic initiatives. 1 Specifically, the Act charges Senate with formulating educational policy; creating faculties, departments, schools and institutes for the delivery of curricula and related educational initiatives; the creation and implementation of bylaws and regulations relating to matters under the jurisdiction of Senate; the election of the Chancellor; determining courses of study; oversight of academic examinations; matters involving scholarships, bursaries, prizes and awards relating to students and their learning; and conferring of degrees and diplomas that fall under the jurisdiction of the University of Guelph, including honorary degrees. 2
ii) Committee Bylaws and Mandate The Committee bylaws are available online and are also enclosed for members’ reference. The BUGS mandate is to approve and/ or recommend to Senate the curriculum for all

University Governance and Committee Mandate Page 17 of 110 undergraduate programs, associate diploma programs and for-credit undergraduate certificates, including those offered at the Guelph-Humber and Ridgetown campuses. The bylaws include the mandate, membership and structure for the following subcommittees: 3 • Program Committees (with reference in their mandate to Academic Review Subcommittees and Admissions Committees) Curriculum Committees • Calendar Review Committee (CRC) • Joint Editorial Awards Committee (JEAC)
Curriculum Cycle and Approvals The curriculum cycle works over one year in advance (see enclosed diagram as an example of a typical cycle). The cycle begins with discussions at the Curriculum Committee; moves to proposals presented to the Program Committee; to consultation with other units; to submission to the Calendar Review Committee; to presentation to BUGS for recommendation to Senate; to publication in the undergraduate calendar; and finally to students in the program. The calendar templates for the addition, deletion, or changes to programs and courses are available through the Office of the Associate Vice-President (Academic) / Office of Quality Assurance website: https://www.uoguelph.ca/vpacademic/iqap/undergraduate-calendar-change-templates
The approved curriculum is published annually in the University calendars: Undergraduate • Includes BUGS and Senate approved http://www.uoguelph.ca/registrar/ca

University Governance and Committee Mandate Page 18 of 110 In addition, in 2012 a review of the academic and non-academic student judicial system was undertaken through the Provost’s office. The final review report (known as the “Riggs Review”) included a number of recommendations which have resulted in changes to the mandate and operations of the Senate Standing Committee on Student Petitions, which in turn has given rise to ideas for changes to the mandate and membership of Academic Review Sub-committees, as well as a number of undergraduate policies. The Riggs Review report is available online. 4

University Governance and Committee Mandate Page 23 of 110 Page 24 of 110 Role and Responsibilities of Senators
The Senate is the foremost academic decision-making body of the University of Guelph and Senators have a vital role in fostering and supporting the mission and goals of the University. These include a commitment to: the highest standards of pedagogy; the education and well- being of the whole person; meeting the needs of all learners in a purposely diverse community; the pursuit of the University’s learning objectives; rigourous self-assessment, and a curriculum that fosters creativity, skill development, critical inquiry, and active learning.1
The following guidelines are intended to assist Senators in the execution of their role and responsibilities. Each Senator should:
a) Engage in the work of Senate, as outlined in the University of Guelph Act, which includes the formulation of educational policy, the conferring of degrees (including honorary degrees); the determination of recipients of fellowships, scholarships, bursaries, medals, and others prizes and awards; and the election of the Chancellor.
b) Understand and respect the distinction between the role and responsibility of the Board of Governors (which, broadly, is financial governance) and those of Senate (which, broadly, is the formulation of educational policy and related matters), as defined in the University of Guelph Act.
c) Participate constructively in the formulation of educational policy within Senate and its various bodies, including standing committees and their subcommittees and working groups.
d) Communicate with constituents about the issues before Senate.
e) Engage in frank, candid and respectful discussion of matters which are brought before Senate and its various bodies, including standing committees, subcommittees and working groups, while adhering to the rules of procedure of Senate.
f) Consider fully, as citizens of the University, the complex issues that Senate faces, taking into account that advancing the good of the University in all of its diversity inevitably will involve negotiation and compromise.

Improving lives through teaching and learning
We envision a world where all learners are prepared to thrive in a dynamic future.
6c) Other Business - Teaching and Learning Plan Page 91 of 110
Our Context At the University of Guelph our commitment to Improve Life calls on us to examine how we can best prepare our learners, graduates and alumni for success in society. Now is a transformational time in university education. The emerging advancements in technology, data science, and the ever-evolving knowledge-based economy and life-long learning society demand that we explore and address some of the Grand Challenges in education that our community has identified. Six exemplar questions that are embedded in these challenges that offer the most promise in achieving our vision to improve life for all learners are outlined below:
• Creating inclusive learning opportunities calls on us to improve access and honour the diversity and identity of both learners and instructors in our pedagogical practices. o How do we create inclusive learning opportunities in our practices, assessments and materials, that promote the full participation of our learners? • Enhancing and expanding the link between educational research and practice calls on us to continuously improve on our design of deep and meaningful learning practices and understand the impact of these practices on our learners. o How can our expanding knowledge of the science of learning inform practices and approaches? • Utilizing educational data effectively, considering the unprecedented availability and access to data from educational technologies, administrative records and more, there is much potential to discover new knowledge that can help inform our practices and how we work with learners. o How do we utilize the wealth of data available to enhance the retention, success and experiences of our learners? • Engaging technology and improving our spaces requires us to take stock of our current resources and intentionally strive to balance the pace of change in technology and need for space with meaningful student learning and pedagogical practices. o How do we utilize instructional technologies and spaces in a fulsome manner to inform, enhance and innovate student learning that is inclusive of all learners? • Preparing our students for a dynamic future embraces our values of life-long-learning and demands that we think critically and creatively while continuously re-examining the changing needs of learners and the evolution of knowledge. o What do our students need to learn and how do we create and provide authentic learning through experience, and learning-by-doing for our students, graduates, alumni and society? • Empowering and equipping our educators to succeed with all learners in an evolving educational context is intertwined with the success of our learners. o How do we empower, guide and support our educators to thrive, and continuously innovate their educational practices and inquiry?

Our Process The University of Guelph is well respected as a leader in supporting student learning, creating and assessing learning outcomes, curriculum development and the advancement of flexible and evidence-informed instructional practices. To address these challenges will require us to sustain what we do well, as well as, work in new and creative ways as we embark on our Path Forward to improve life by innovating teaching and transforming student learning. Our challenges can be broadly grouped around the three pillars of Pedagogy and Practice, Innovation and Incubation and Research and Inquiry - supported and facilitated by the Office of the Provost. Evidently our process forward involves working within the healthy balance of sustaining what we do well with an intentional focus to change as the teaching and learning landscape evolves. Figure 1 below outlines this further and signals our value in identifying, maintaining, evaluating and planning to sustain what we do well alongside a clear intention to invigorate our culture of discovery, innovation and change that is grounded in rigorous evaluation.

Evaluate Innovate Sustain Maintain & Align
Evaluate Change & Align
Invigorating a culture of innovation Securing what we do well
Our response to these challenges In consultation with our community, the response to these challenges is outlined in six goals:
1. Promote Access and Inclusion in our Teaching and Learning Practices 2. Advance our Leadership in Teaching and Learning 3. Prepare Students for Life beyond Graduation 4. Use Spaces and Technologies to Enhance Teaching and Learning 5. Foster Research and Scholarship on Teaching and Learning 6. Foster Lifelong Learning – bridging the gap beyond graduation
Each Goal articulates the objectives of our commitments and details our actions over the next five years (2020 – 2025).

6c) Other Business - Teaching and Learning Plan Page 93 of 110
GOAL 1: PROMOTE ACCESS AND INCLUSION IN OUR TEACHING AND LEARNING PRACTICES As a community, the University of Guelph values diversity, equity and improving access to education as a source of our strength. Our institutional commitment to the educational recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission is guided by the President’s Advisory Committee on Aboriginal Initiatives. While the Senate-endorsed mental health strategy and Inclusion Framework has mobilized members of our community via the work of the Academic Inclusion Committee. Our work in promoting a culture of inclusion is central to our mission, and informs how we provide a learner-centred, inquiry-intensive and holistically supportive learning experience for our students.
Here, we commit to • Enhance teaching and learning practices and curricula to promote access, celebrate diversity and foster inclusion. • Explore innovative pedagogical approaches that encourage greater access to our programs. • Increase intercultural competency at both individual- and campus-levels • Embed indigenous knowledge systems and ways of knowing in the curriculum
In our efforts to promote access and inclusion in our teaching and learning practices, we will: o Support the work of the President’s Advisory Committee on Aboriginal Initiatives (PACAI) and encourage the incorporation of Indigenous matters into our programs; o Develop and promote further inclusivity training opportunities for instructors, staff and teaching assistants; o Provide intercultural competency training to 200 individual students, staff, and faculty per year o Increase the numbers of international undergraduate and graduate students studying at the University of Guelph o Increase the academic quality of international students, while nurturing a learning environment that is both enriching, engaging, and responsive to their unique needs and challenges; o Increase and make accessible intercultural and international learning opportunities for students (e.g. summer field schools, international exchange opportunities, internships and practicums, and co-curricular opportunities); o Work with recommendations from the Academic Inclusion Committee in matters of teaching and learning including participating in online training modules; o Increase the understanding, visibility and use of Universal Instruction Design principles; o Engage and support units in the development and redesign of curricula that is more accessible and inclusive in both content and processes; o Develop an early warning system to identify students who will benefit from additional support during a given semester.

GOAL 2: ADVANCE OUR LEADERSHIP IN TEACHING AND LEARNING As we look to the future, enhancing and expanding our leadership in teaching and learning requires us to think imaginatively, critically and creatively. This includes the use of evidence-informed and innovative approaches as we strive for excellence in our pedagogical practices; support the development of our faculty and instructional staff; and guide the achievement of outcomes for all learners. Here, we commit to • Inspire teaching excellence through scholarly activities that visibly demonstrate the University of Guelph’s strengths in teaching and learning • Promote high impact practices, experiential learning and innovative pedagogies across our campuses. • Promote a culture of continuous curriculum improvement, outcome assessment and achievement. • Recognize and reward teaching excellence.
In our efforts to advance our leadership in teaching and learning, we will: o Celebrate and recognize teaching excellence by creating two new centrally administered awards for faculty; one for pre-tenure faculty up to 2 years post-tenure and another for faculty 3+ years post- tenure; o Provide four opportunities per year for Leaders in Teaching Excellence to participate in ‘teach the teacher’ workshops o Establish communities of practice for teaching excellence within and among colleges o Provide standardized and meaningful student feedback on courses and course delivery that can be used for both formative and summative evaluation over time o Develop focused training in pedagogy specifically for the diverse needs of our instructors including early-and mid-career faculty o Develop training in pedagogy specifically for support staff, sessional instructors, and teaching assistants; o Develop workshops to teach instructors to evaluate the impact of new pedagogies on students’ learning using the student feedback tool o Engage academic units in the design, development, and assessment of innovative pedagogies in courses and programs (including pedagogies aligned with authentic and signature assessments); o Develop, refine, and measure learning outcomes at the undergraduate and graduate levels in ways that demonstrate knowledge, skills and values in academic achievements; o Provide academic and student-focused programming to support students in the transitions from high school to university, from undergraduate to graduate studies, and from university to their life of work.

GOAL 3: PREPARE STUDENTS FOR LIFE BEYOND GRADUATION One fundamental outcome of higher education is to prepare our students for life beyond graduation. Our leadership in learning outcomes allows us to scaffold and embed the development of transferrable skills for our learners in both discipline-based curricula and co-curricular activities. This includes our use of the Co- Curricular Transcript, and our commitment to providing all students with experiential learning opportunities, such as through co-ops, internships, research projects, or classroom-based community engaged learning projects. Collectively these strengths allow us to venture forward confidently as we build new experience- based opportunities for our students.
Here, we commit to • Expand experiential learning (EL) by including more students, and more EL opportunities • Expand community engagement and service-learning opportunities. • Intentionally integrate the development of reflective critical thinking and other transferrable skills into curricula • Increase the retention and graduation rates of our students • Provide opportunities for undergraduate students to earn minors, certificates, and/or micro-credits
In our efforts to prepare students for life beyond graduation, we will: o Increase the number of undergraduate students graduating with experiential learning three-fold; o Explore opportunities to increase co-op offerings by expanding to new programs or increasing numbers within existing co-op programs; o Develop new courses focused on work integrated learning (WIL) across the full spectrum of the undergraduate experience o Focus WIL based on the differentiation of the University of Guelph in areas such as Food and Agriculture o Embed career planning, critical self-reflection, and skill translation into courses in each undergraduate program o Develop for-credit course opportunities based on current experiential learning opportunities such as co-op work placements, peer-helper training, and summer student research experiences o Provide new opportunities for undergraduate students to earn minors, certificates, and/or micro credentials; o Expand and enrich experiential learning opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students across our curricula and co-curricula; o Increase training and support for instructors interested in designing and developing experiential learning practices; o Develop value added credentials to assist students in developing professional skills during their undergraduate and graduate experience; o Develop systems for students to document and demonstrate the impact of experiential learning activities (such as learning portfolios, certificates, major maps and/or individual development plans);

GOAL 4: USE SPACES AND TECHNOLOGIES TO ENHANCE TEACHING AND LEARNING
Our commitment to providing inclusive and rich learning opportunities are also reliant on how we utilize our spaces, resources and technology to create environments that facilitate deep learning and meaningful instruction. With the guidance of the Academic Technologies Advisory Committee, and the Office of Teaching and Learning we have a renewed commitment to innovate our learning spaces and utilize technology effectively to enhance teaching and learning activities in both the face-to-face and online environments.
Here, we commit to:
• Optimize our teaching and learning spaces to encourage innovative pedagogical practices and improved student experiences • Design learning spaces to support and enhance high impact pedagogies. • Align the adoption and use of educational technologies with pedagogical goals and strategies.
In our efforts to use spaces and technologies to enhance teaching and learning, we will: o Provide a new Teaching and Learning building with innovative classrooms that will facilitate the research of new teaching spaces and technologies o Align classroom requirements with physical space as they relate to pedagogical needs on our campuses (e.g. flexible spaces, team work spaces, and large classroom spaces); o Retrofit classrooms to provide enhanced flexibility in teaching and learning; o Provide training and encourage communities of practice on using flexible learning spaces; o Describe the technologies currently used by individual colleges and based on research, determine which of these to recommend for use across the university o Develop a teaching and learning technology plan that aligns technology acquisition and use with pedagogical initiatives; o Explore educational technology opportunities (including next generation technologies that currently exist and are emerging); o Explore, support and maintain technologies which assist in the design, delivery and assessment of engaging courses with the recognition of unique challenges, such as large class sizes or innovative teaching practices. o Teach instructors to use new technologies in a pedagogically inclusive manner (including the intentional use of media/technology) o Explore the use of technology to enhance and expand academic support to additional language learners, first-generation students, and First Nations, Metis, and Inuit learners;

GOAL 5: FOSTER RESEARCH AND SCHOLARSHIP ON TEACHING AND LEARNING The University of Guelph also has a long-standing reputation for engaging in the systematic inquiry into teaching and learning from both the disciplinary and pedagogical perspectives – also knowns as the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning. Our Teaching and Learning Innovations Conference is one of the oldest in Canada and our institutional support for enhancing learning and pedagogical scholarship has benefitted thousands of students over the past thirty-plus years. As we look to the future, our expanded engagement in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning will also actively benefit from our preparedness to participate in the educational data revolution and the discoveries that the science of learning reveals.
Here, we commit to:
• Emphasize the importance, value, and impact of SoTL research at the University of Guelph; • Broaden faculty, staff, and student knowledge and engagement in SoTL; • Expand our financial support for discipline-based SoTL on our campuses.
In our effort to foster research and scholarship on teaching and learning, we will:
o Develop clear processes, protocols, and policies for timely researcher collaborations with the Office of Institutional Analysis and Research; o Provide financial support for SoTL in each college that matches the support provided centrally through the LEF and SoTL funds o Double the number of masters- and doctoral-students doing SoTL research o Develop a SoTL scholar-in-residence program similar to those created for research excellence o Increase training opportunities for SoTL researchers across our campuses; o Extend current faculty training certificate in SoTL and redevelop the Educational Leadership in Teaching Excellence (ENLITE) certificate to include SoTL leadership; o Develop specific support for SoTL dissemination and publication; o Provide training to instructors on how to evaluate small pedagogical changes in course delivery; o Enable instructors to add questions to the student evaluation of teaching and courses to gather data on the students’ interpretation of the value of these changes; o Encourage participation in our annual Teaching and Learning Innovations conference among faculty, staff, and students. o Increase support for existing disciplinary SoTL institutes and communities of practice across our institution; and foster an environment where units have opportunities to engage and collaborate with one another to advance any shared scholarship goals.

GOAL 6: FOSTERING LIFELONG LEARNING – BRIDGING THE GAP BEYOND GRADUATION
The rapid pace of change in the “wisdom economy” requires flexibility, self-motivation, teamwork and complex problem solving. We are teaching many of these knowledge, skills and values through our curricular and co-curricular activities, including our experiential learning experiences. But we need to be aware of the need for constant learning throughout an individual’s life as people change careers, and as existing careers require new knowledge, skills and competencies. Universities need to continuously evolve in order to provide flexible learning opportunities, bridging programs, micro-credentials, and stackable credentials through a variety of pedagogical platforms: in-class, blended, on-line and residential. We also must formally recognize the competencies individuals gain through prior learning and work experience.
The University of Guelph has a long history of extending the teaching and research of the institution. This has economic benefits, but it also helps to create informed and empowered citizens. As life-long learning becomes more important and as governments explore options such as the FutureSkillsLab and life-long learning credits, the university needs to take a leadership role in these opportunities.
Here we commit to:
• Activate and enhance students' recognition in the translational flexibility of their skills gained within a program to extend them to other contexts and applications. • Foster students' ability to mobilize and feel ownership in self-directed learning to grow in areas that serve their ability to pursue alternate career paths from those in which they were originally trained. • Encouraging life-long learning through our pedagogical practices by enabling students to recognize when they need more knowledge and skills and empowering them as learners.
In our effort to foster lifelong learning, we will:
o Develop courses, credentials, and programs for learners at all stages of life that give them the skills and knowledge that they require, and allow them to promote their credential to employers. o Create flexibility in our course offerings to appeal to students with time and financial constraints. o Develop courses with ‘alternative’ course delivery timelines such as breaking courses into smaller modules, expanding courses beyond a 12-week semester, or creating very short, intensive courses (3 week face to face). o Develop new pathways from College to University, English Language Program to University, and University to Careers and back to create more options for learners o Develop systems of recognizing and accrediting previous learning which will allow people to fast- track their education, o Develop personalized learning models.

Dr. Charlotte Yates Provost and Vice-President (Academic) University of Guelph Guelph, ON N1G 2W1
Dear Dr. Yates,
I write to advise that the Quality Council, at its meeting of August 23, 2019, accepted the recommendation of the Appraisal Committee that the proposed program in Sport and Event Management (with Co-op option) (BComm) at the University of Guelph be Approved to Commence, with Report. The Report, to be submitted in the Fall of 2020, is to provide an update on: 1. The hiring of a Chair in Sport and Event Management.* *Please see correspondence of March 4, 2019 in the new program proposal submission from Dr. Christensen Hughes, Dean, College of Business and Economics to Ms. Tersigni, Director, Academic Programs and Policy for the context regarding this reporting requirement. The University may, within sixty days of the date of this letter (i.e., by October 23, 2019), make an appeal to, or request a meeting with, the Appraisal Committee for reconsideration (per QAF 2.3.3). Normally, the grounds for seeking reconsideration are that the institution will be providing new information, there were errors of fact in the Appraisal Committee’s commentary, or there were errors of process.
Please let the Secretariat know if the University accepts this recommendation, and in accordance with section 2.3.5 of the Quality Assurance Framework (QAF), the University is then able to post information about this decision on its website and make offers of admission to the program, subject to any further University approval processes.
Notice of this program’s approval to commence will then be posted on the Quality Council website and made available to both MTCU and OCAV (as per Section 2.3.5 of the QAF).
As you know, a new program, after it is approved to commence, must begin within thirty-six months of that date of approval, otherwise the approval will lapse.
The Quality Council wishes you success in the implementation of this program.
Yours sincerely,
Paul W. Gooch Chair
