UPCOMING EVENTS
The Office of Academic Affairs provides oversight and leadership for all credit-bearing academic programs, instruction, and support services at all College locations, including online.
Activities and areas of responsibility include oversight of curriculum, planning, budget administration, staffing, professional development for faculty and professional staff, development of degree and certificate programs, and various professional accreditations.
The fundamental goal of the Office of Academic Affairs is to promote student learning by fostering excellence in teaching and an environment that promotes individual students to develop into critical thinkers and autonomous learners.
Course Audits
50% completed
We have reviewed course listings for credit to contact hour conversion, course descriptions, semester credit hours, and work area attribution and are in the process of updating College information, resources, and guidelines accordingly.
Integrate Learning and Employment Record
95% completed
We are working on integrating SmartResume as a LER that will allow for student learning to be documented at the learning outcome or skill level through Canvas. The next steps are to integrate LER/SmartResume into all CSS courses for Spring 2026 and to continue to engage in AACRO's LER Accelerator Cohort.
Equity Commitment
Bristol Community College's academic programs strive to provide equitable educational opportunities to all students and create a sense of belonging. We engage students in rigorous learning, striving to transform attitudes and beliefs to position our students to become agents of change and serve as leaders in our communities.
