Ontario Universities Council on Quality Assurance (OUCQA)

The Quality Council oversees quality assurance processes for all levels of programs in Ontario’s publicly assisted universities, and helps institutions to improve and enhance their programs, for example, through the Quality Assurance Guide. The task of the Quality Council is, above all, to ensure the continuing achievement of a defined level of quality in the design and delivery of an institution’s programs, with particular emphasis on the desired learning outcomes and Ontario’s degree level expectations, as well as on the monitoring of an institution’s compliance with its Institutional Quality Assurance Process (IQAP) in its cyclical program reviews.
