The Academic Quality Assessment and Development (AQUAD) is an external review process for assessing the core academic functions of each department or program at the university, including teaching and learning; research, professional, and creative activity; and public service and academic outreach. The AQUAD review provides a rigorous quality assessment, identifying strengths and targeting areas for growth and development. Please see the  Board of Trustees' AQUAD Guidelines (Document T98-033) for further detail.
