Mona Department of Modern Languages and Literatures (Chinese and Japanese) Theology Programme delivered through St Michael’s College and the United Theological College of the West Indies University Health Services
Quality Assurance Review of the Department of Creative and Festival Arts (DCFA) Visual Arts/Musical Arts, Nov. 7–11, 2022, St. Augustine Campus (Meeting with Librarians)
The UWI Quality Policy All QAU Officers continued work in support of the implementation of The UWI Quality Policy: Campus and Centre Quality Management Teams (C-QMTs) are functioning; all are meeting periodically and there is a harmonized set of Terms of Reference. There is evidence during the reporting period that the CQMTs have sought to engage the Quality Policy Champions on pertinent matters arising at the campuses, and the QAU notes ongoing interest in further training for the QP Champions.
Fifteen Quality Evaluations were also conducted during the period under review. In addition to the core work of the Unit, Officers continue to support quality-related matters on the campuses, such as the Campus Quality Management Teams (CQMT), the Quality Policy, Academic Quality Assurance Committees, and Accreditation activities when required. The QAU has also continued to contribute to continuous quality improvement through activities such as training, teaching, research, membership on university committees and public service.
