Welcome to the SQAC

The Student Quality Assurance Council (SQAC) is a student-driven initiative dedicated to promoting academic quality at Seneca. We aim to ensure that student perspectives are incorporated into the design, delivery, and review of academic programs. By engaging with students, faculty, and staff, we strive to create a collaborative environment that prioritizes the needs of learners and reflects the high standards of Seneca.

The SQAC consists of six members from different program areas, campuses and credentials. We work closely with the Academic Quality department to increase student involvement and input in academic quality initiatives and processes at Seneca.

Student Voices in Action

What is Academic Quality?

We believe academic quality is about students receiving a meaningful and enriching educational experience. It includes:

  • Relevance: Programs that meet industry and learner needs.
  • Fairness: Clear and equitable assessments.
  • Support: Resources that enhance learning and well-being.
  • Inclusion: Opportunities for students to share their voices and perspectives.

Together, these elements contribute to a quality education that prepares students for success.
