Overview

Prior to 2021, the Administrative Planning Council (APC) served as one of three participatory governance councils at the College.  Its purpose was to ensure effective operation of all things fiscal and operational for Cañada College. It also served as the entity that provided peer review to the offices and functions reporting directly to the College President during their comprehensive program review and planning process. 

As part of its update of participatory governance reporting structures in 2020, the Planning and Budgeting Council (PBC) determined on April 7, 2021, that the first part of the APC's purpose was too similar to that of PBC and that APC no longer needed to serve as a Planning Council (as defined by PBC's newly established definitions of Planning Councils as of April 29, 2020).  Rather, APC would continue solely in its role of providing the structure for the peer review process and resource prioritization recommendations for the President's Office offices and functions.  As an operational group, this group is identified as the President's Office Program Review Peer Review Group and it includes the following members:

• Office of the Vice President of Instruction
• Office of the Vice President of Student Services
• Office of the Vice President of Administrative Services
• Office of Marketing and Community Relations
• Office of Planning, Research and Institutional Effectiveness

Program Review Current Cycle Information

  • The Administrative Services undergoing a comprehensive program review in the current cycle are listed here.
