In support of the Committee on Academic Policy (CAP), the Office of Academic Programs, Policy and Accreditation is responsible for coordinating the development and maintenance of policies and procedures relating to academic affairs and student life, provide oversight of school and/or academic unit level policies and procedures, and to recommend university-wide policies and procedures as appropriate. Many stakeholders within the education mission of OHSU participate in the development and revision of academic policies.

Policies are presented to the Committee on Academic Policy (CAP) for review and approval on a quarterly basis.  CAP consists of faculty, academic administrators, a Faculty Senator, a student, members from the Office of the Provost and the Office of General Counsel.  For a complete list of committee members, click here.

The Office of Academic Programs, Policy and Accreditation is responsible for reporting policy activity to the Provost and to the Policy Advisory Committee.
