The Dean of Academic Operations (DAO) manages and oversees the execution of all facets of operations needed for the delivery of academic programs and curricula at the specific campus. It is a key position that reports directly to the Campus Director with ultimate responsibility for ensuring all campus academic operational goals are accomplished with the ultimate aim of delivering quality learning experience for students. The DAO has direct oversight of three functions that provide the infrastructure needed for effective academic operations, namely: Labs and Workshops; Academic Services and Advising; and Learning Resources. The core performance goal for the DAO is to ensure effective delivery of academic program and curricula through the optimum utilization of the campus teaching and learning resources and infrastructure with a minimum disturbance to the planned schedule. The Dean of Academic Operations will have operational oversight for all Program Chairs at the campus within a Dotted Line reporting relationship. The Dean of Academic Operations is expected to act in the absence of Campus Director.
