New websites in Graduate Studies and Quality Assurance offer streamlined and accessible design

Campus departments should double-check any hyperlinks on University websites currently pointing to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Office of Quality Assurance pages following the complete overhaul of the area’s web presence.

The graduate studies website, published last month, has been developed based on the feedback received from multiple surveys, focus groups, and consultations to improve the content offerings and design, ensuring that information is readily accessible for students, faculty, and staff from a variety of backgrounds. Areas of focus were centered around: accessibility, ease of navigation, emphasis on student services, faculty and staff resources, and appealing design and layout.

The Quality Assurance website, launched a few weeks ago, aims to create a “one-stop-shop for Quality Assurance,” says Noah Campbell, communications assistant in the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Office of Quality Assurance. “The site provides a place for departments to easily find information related to the cyclical review process, new program development, program and course changes, and the new PDC E-Approval Workflow Process from the University Secretariat.”

Faculties and academic units should also note that the information and submission links to PDC forms have been moved from the University Secretariat’s site to the Quality Assurance site.

The new Faculty of Graduate Studies website can be found at uwindsor.ca/graduate-studies/ while the new Quality Assurance website is uwindsor.ca/qualityassurance/.
