Faculty and Staff Update
With the launch of the NEW Secure Site on SharePoint, the Office of Graduate & Postdoctoral Studies will slowly be removing all information found on the Faculty and Staff pages once there is confidence that all information has been migrated. All GPAs, and GPCs who previously had access to the secure site, will automatically be granted access to the NEW OGPS Secure Site. Access to the new OGPS Secure site, can be obtained by filling out the Faculty/Staff access form.
The Office of Graduate & Postdoctoral Studies will be closed from December 23, reopening on Thursday, Jan 2nd at 8:30 am.
Learning Outcomes
The University of Guelph approved Graduate Learning Outcomes on May 31, 2013. These five Senate-approved learning outcomes serve as the basis from which to guide the development of degree programs, specializations and courses; as a framework to ensure outcomes are clear to students and to support their achievement; and to inform the process of assessment of outcomes through institutional quality reviews of programs and departments. At the graduate level, as noted in the graduate learning outcome definitions, there is an increased emphasis on the notion of “Intellectual Independence” and “Independence of Thought” related to the Learning Outcomes of “Critical and Creative Thinking” and “Professional and Ethical Behaviour”. Specifics and resources for the Graduate Learning Outcomes may be accessed through the Graduate Calendar under Learning Outcomes.
