SCTP Composition
SCTP has eleven members appointed by APC: six academic staff members appointed to three-year renewable terms, an ex-officio member or delegate from Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies, one representative from the Libraries, one representative from Enrolment Services, and two student members, one graduate and one undergraduate nominated by their respective student societies. The chair of SCTP is an ex-officio member of APC. A member of the Academic Management Office should be invited when resource implications of proposals for new teaching programs are being considered, in order to provide the necessary expertise.
The subcommittee is small enough to be efficient and large enough to encompass a broad spectrum of disciplines and expertise.

- To exercise all the functions and powers of APC as regards courses, and to inform APC about its actions in a timely manner;
- to exercise all the functions and powers of APC as regards revisions to existing teaching programs and to inform APC in a timely manner, except that either SCTP or APC can determine that some changes are sufficiently important to be treated following the procedures for new programs indicated below;
- to evaluate the academic quality of proposals for new teaching programs, taking into account, as appropriate, the resources implications of such proposals and to make recommendations to APC;
- at the request of APC, to review existing courses and teaching programs and to make recommendations to APC.
