Committee Activities

The Academic Quality Enhancement Framework (AQEF) of the Wayamba University of Sri Lanka enables the effective and efficient monitoring of academic standards and the quality of the student experience in relation to internal and external requirements. The Student Staff Liaison Committee (SSLC) is an opportunity for course representatives to feedback on behalf of their fellow peers on areas of good practice and areas that need to be improved. Students have an opportunity to raise issues via their SSLC. This feedback is considered by the faculty as part of the annual monitoring process.
