College Advisory Committees

Administrative Procedure 3.101

Elgin Community College encourages the establishment and participation of advisory committees for College-wide concerns, associate degree programs, and other special purposes. The President will be responsible for determining the appropriate committees, encouraging community participation, informing the Board of significant committee input, and responding to committee input. 

The Vice President of Teaching, Learning, and Student Development is authorized to form and oversee four categories of College advisory committees.

When appropriate, advisory committees may serve to inform multiple program areas. In addition, advisory committees may also be formed for non-credit programs when needed. 

Special Purpose
