Initiated by the provincial ministry’s Degree Quality Assessment Board (DQAB), the Quality Assurance Process
Audit (QAPA) [Quality Assurance Process Audit - Province of British Columbia] is an external review process to ensure that public post-secondary institutions periodically conduct rigorous, ongoing program and institutional quality assessment. All B.C. public institutions participate in the QAPA once every seven years.

UNBC was one of four post-secondary institutions to undertake the QAPA in 2023/24. An abridged version of UNBC's self-evaluation report and the external peer review recommendations is now available in the UNBC QAPA Summary.

UNBC are committed to the continual improvement of our quality assurance processes and provided a response to DQAB on April 12, 2024, that included an action plan to address the recommendations.
