Scope Notes
Teaching and Academic Programs General
Use for records relating to teaching and academic programs in general but which do not fall under any other primary in this subject heading. Note that the secondaries "Policies and Procedures," "General," "Planning," "Reports and Statistics," "Special Projects," and "Reference and Information Files" can also be attached to any other primary if needed.
Accreditation
Use for records relating to program or department acrreditation with external accrediting bodies.
Courses
Use for records relating to course delivery and administration. Open a Course Case File for each course to document course content history. Case files should be so structured that routine administrative records are separated from the teaching records and can be easily culled and destroyed before transferring the files to the University Record Centre - see RRSDA 1999-002.
Curriculum
Use for records relating to curriculum development and review. Alternatively, these files can be maintained with the records of the committee(s) responsible for this function.
Grades
Use for records relating to the recording of final grades and transmittal of them to the Registrar's Office.
Instructor / Course Evaluations
Use for the evaluation forms completed by students assessing course content and the instructor's performance. Retention requirements for these records differ depending on whether the instructor is faculty (RRSDA 1998-034) or teaching support staff (RRSDA 1999-006).
Teaching Awards
Use for records relating to departmental teaching awards. Keep separate information about the award from records relating to nomination, application or adjudication.
