The Office of the Board for Undergraduate Studies (OBUS) has three broad responsibilities within the university:
Policy – Responsibility to develop and coordinate policy initiatives to guide all aspects of undergraduate and sub-degree programming at The UWI and its regional and global affiliates. The Board for Undergraduate Studies (BUS) formally approves policy with respect to undergraduate studies, and provides formal approval of all new or revised undergraduate and sub-degree programming. Quality – The Quality Assurance Unit, located within OBUS, articulates, implements and manages The UWI’s academic quality assurance enhancement system.
Regionality – OBUS is charged with the preservation of the regional mandate of The UWI.
During the second year of The UWI’s Triple A Strategic Plan , OBUS rolled out initiatives in three core areas: a. Implementation of The UWI Quality Policy university-wide b. Student Retention and Success c. Students as Partners in Learning
