Capilano University's commitment to academic quality assurance includes university-supported academic review, participation in the province-wide Quality Assurance Process Audit, and program renewal in alignment the University's strategic plans and commitments to learners.
All program-specific course requirements are mapped against program learning outcomes (PLOs) and the institutional learning outcomes (ILOs). Degree-level programs of study are also required to demonstrate how the PLOs meet provincial degree-level standards as established by the Degree Quality Assessment Board (DQAB).
As a past member of the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities, a US-based accreditation body, the maturity of CapU's program-specific curriculum maps and Cap Core, the University's general education framework, are grounded in CapU's 10-year affiliation with the NWCCU from 2013 to 2023.
In alignment with its ongoing commitment to academic quality, the University looks forward to working with BC post-secondary partners, participating in the DQAB's Quality Assurance Process Audit, and retaining its Education Quality Assurance (EQA) designation.
