https://qplace01.domino.griffith.edu.au/sec-university-committees



- Changes to structure and requirements section to align with the Structure and Requirements of Qualifications Awarded by Griffith University Policy and the Academic Awards, Programs, Nomenclature and Abbreviations Policy.

- Changes to the Assessment section, including stipulation regarding late submission of a dissertation, and the time-frame in which a student may appeal an academic decision.

Resolution

3.4 Programs Committee resolved to recommend to Academic Committee the revised Bachelor Honours Degree (AQF Level 8) Policy be approved for immediate implementation.

4.0 POSTGRADUATE QUALIFICATIONS (AQF LEVELS 8 & 9) POLICY (2013/0006563)

4.1 At its last meeting Programs Committee considered the proposed new Postgraduate Qualifications (AQF Levels 8 & 9) Policy (2013/0006563), noting a number of existing policies will be rescinded once this policy has been approved.

4.2 In considering the Policy the following comments were made and/or issues raised: - The Committee noted the policy combines a number of previous policies and reflects

a range of decisions made by Programs Committee throughout the year. - The Deputy Academic Register advised there were some editorial and formatting

changes required, for example under section 4 Admission Criteria and in the specific qualification types (Sections 10 to 15) to refer to a combination of formal, non-formal and informal prior learning; in Section 6.3 Appeal (admission decision) students are required to lodge an appeal within 10 working days of notification of a decision;

- After discussion the Committee proposed changes to Section 9 Research as follows: - In Section 9.1 Supervision – Masters Degree Coursework to indicate the

supervision of the research course ‘may be’ (rather than ‘is’) group/tutorial based.

- In Section 9.2 Supervision – Masters Degree (Extended) to indicate i) where the research is included within multiple courses across the degree the supervision context may be group/tutorial based; and ii) where the research is conducted in specific courses the supervision context is individual based.

- The Committee also noted the proposal to specify that an extension for a research project or dissertation is to be no greater than 20 days and in extenuating circumstances where students are unable to complete within this time-frame a leave of absence or withdrawal is the appropriate course of action.

- The Committee agreed to propose that Masters Degrees (Research) be considered by both Programs Committee and the Board of Graduate Research for recommendation to Academic Committee for approval.

- The Committee noted the policy, revised as advised by the Academic Registrar prior to the meeting and further revised as a result of discussions, will be sent to Group Boards (or Group Board members where no further meetings are scheduled) for feedback and comment. Feedback will also be requested from the wider University community through the AQF Implementation Update. This feedback will be provided to Academic Committee when considering the proposed policy at its December meeting.

4.3 The Deputy Academic Registrar incorporated feedback received during the consultation process, including the feedback from Programs Committee as outlined above, into a further revised Policy which was considered with an additional document summarising this feedback. The Deputy Academic Registrar attended the meeting for discussion of this item.

Resolution

4.4 Programs Committee resolved to recommend to Academic Committee the Postgraduate Qualifications (AQF Levels 8 & 9) Policy be approved for immediate implementation.




5.0 ENGLISH LANGUAGE REQUIREMENT AGREEMENT WITH SHANDONG UNIVERSITY

5.1 In May 2012 the Griffith University Executive Group made a decision to move to a minimum undergraduate entry level of IELTS 6.5 (with no sub-score below 6.0) or equivalent test score or Language of Instruction provision, for implementation from 1 January 2015.

5.2 At its July (5/2013) meeting Programs Committee considered a proposal from the Queensland College of Art (QCA) to support a request from Shandong University of Art and Music to maintain the current English entry requirements for the Bachelor of Design Futures with Honours (1392), the Bachelor of Digital Media (1302), the Bachelor of Fine Art (1181) and the Bachelor of Photography (1186), as detailed in 2013/0005346.

5.3 At the July meeting the Committee noted the QCA’s justification contained in the proposal

but due to the complexity of the request it was agreed further discussions needed to take place between the School, Griffith International and Griffith English Language Institute staff to come to an agreeable solution for all parties.

5.4 The Committee now had before it a briefing paper from the Deputy Academic Registrar providing background to the University’s decisions related to English Language Proficiency standards, and including information contained in the IELTS Guide for educational institutions, governments, professional bodies and commercial organisations. The Deputy Academic Registrar, Ms Karen van Haeringen, attended the meeting for discussion of this item.

5.5 Ms van Haeringen spoke to the briefing paper, further advising the Committee the Bachelor

Degree (AQF Level 7) Policy states in Section 3.1.2 ‘An outcome of a Griffith bachelor degree is a graduate level of competency in English language skills in writing, reading, speaking and listening’ and also referred to TEQSA standards.

5.6 After some discussion, again noting the QCA’s justification for this request, it was agreed to

refer this issue to the Academic Committee for a decision. Resolution

5.7 Programs Committee resolved to refer to Academic Committee the proposal from the

Queensland College of Art to consider a request from Shandong University of Art and Music to maintain the current English entry requirements for students admitted to the Bachelor of Design Futures with Honours (1392), the Bachelor of Digital Media (1302), the Bachelor of Fine Art (1181) and the Bachelor of Photography (1186), as contained in 2013/0005346, for along with the briefing paper provided by the Deputy Academic Registrar.

6.0 COURSE IMPROVEMENT PLAN (2013/0007239)

6.1 The Course Approval and Review Policy (2013/0006283) outlines the roles and responsibilities of the Course Convenor including the development, review and improvement of courses. The Policy specifies “The Course Convenor may be required by the Head of School/Department to complete a Course Improvement Plan (CIP)” and “completion of a CIP by all Course Convenors is encouraged as a routine activity”.

6.2 Programs Committee considered changes to the Course Improvement Plan to:

- add ‘Practice Standards for Online Learning’ to Section 2.4. - add ‘communication and collaboration strategies for online students’ to Section 3.1. - add ‘(eg. usage data for Learning@Griffith course sites)’ to Section 3.2. - replace ‘GIHE consultants or academic colleagues’ with ‘E-Learning and Teaching

SECTION D: MATTERS NOTED, CONSIDERED OR REMAINING UNDER DISCUSSION

72.0 ENG NEW PROGRAM PROPOSAL (2013/0006142) 3301 GRADUATE CERTIFICATE IN CIVIL ENGINEERING 5642 MASTER OF CIVIL ENGINEERING

72.1 Programs Committee, on the recommendation of the Science, Environment, Engineering and Technology Group Board (18 October 2013), considered the proposal to introduce a new Graduate Certificate in Civil Engineering (3301) and Master of Civil Engineering (5642), as contained in 2013/0006142, for introduction in semester 1 2015.

72.2 The Griffith School of Engineering proposes to introduce a new 120CP AQF compliant Master of Civil Engineering to replace the current Structural and Geotechnical Engineering specialisation within the Master of Engineering and also introduce a Graduate Certificate in Civil Engineering.

72.3 To be eligible for admission to the Graduate Certificate in Civil Engineering students must hold a recognised bachelor degree in civil engineering.

To be eligible for admission to the Master of Civil Engineering students must hold a Bachelor of Civil Engineering degree (level 7 or 8) from a recognised university. - Applicants with a Bachelor of Civil Engineering with Honours degree, or equivalent 4

year Civil Engineering qualification, will be granted 40 credit points of advanced standing towards the program.

- Only graduates of civil engineering will be admitted to this program due to its focus on technical design. The program is, therefore, not suitable to other engineering graduates.


72.5 To be eligible for the award of Graduate Certificate in Civil Engineering (MCivEng), a student must acquire 40 credit points as prescribed below: - gain 40 credit points of courses from Graduate Certificate course list.

72.6 To be eligible for the award of Master of Civil Engineering (MCivEng), a student must acquire 120 credit points as prescribed below:




- gain 40 credit points of courses from Graduate Certificate course list (or as Advanced Standing)

- gain 80 credit points from the Masters coursework course list.

72.7 In considering the proposal the following comments were made: - The table within the Degree Requirements section is to be deleted. - The courses within the Graduate Certificate are to be identified. - The Admission Requirements are to be amended to allow for entry with a level 8

qualification. - The proposal contains a research methods course but it does not identify where

students are undertaking a research project. School is asked to clarify the research content as required by the AQF.

- Learning outcomes are to be added to the submission.

Resolution

72.8 Programs Committee requested the issues raised be addressed in a revised proposal for consideration at a subsequent meeting.
