Degree Quality Assessment Board

2. Degree Quality Assessment Board (DQAB)

The Executive Director attends regular monthly meetings of the DQAB as a non-voting member and resource person. He also informs the Board of any relevant issues that arise pertaining to new private institutions becoming members of the BC Transfer System or of articulation-related problems that arise among existing institutions. In addition, BCCAT staff members provide commentary on the DQAB's annual review of private institutions, and offer feedback on articulation and transfer matters between public and private institutions. The time commitment required of the Executive Director for DQAB membership is considerable, but the provincial quality assurance process of the DQAB relates significantly to BCCAT's responsibility to ensure the quality and integrity of the BC Transfer System.
