Charge:
- The JMU Academic Admissions Standards Committee recommends initiatives to align admissions and execution of instruction with the strategic goals of the Academic Affairs division.
- Our core principle is: Admission standards to academic programs, like the execution of instruction, should be determined by the Division of Academic Affairs.
Objectives:
The success of this committee's effort will be measured by the formulation of inclusive admissions criteria with periodic updates, the creation of an effective, transparent admissions decision process, and the analysis and documentation of the following objectives:
- Standards: Investigate individual program admissions, progression and graduation standards
- Trends: Identify and recommend academic areas with the greatest potential for growth
- Resources: Identify the needs and considerations for resources such as space, funding, personnel, materials, technology requirements, and others to meet evolving enrollment demands
- Capacity: Examine university infrastructure and create a clear metric that ensures adequate capacity for academic programs
