Global Campus Academic Council

The Global Campus Academic Council (GCAC), co-chaired by the VPAA, provides advice and academic oversight to help ensure the success of the Global Campus initiative on the three campuses. To this end, the Council meets regularly to provide input and further the mission of the Global Campus Partnership.

The Global Campus Partnership was established by the University of Illinois to further its land-grant mission to expand educational opportunities for the Illinois community and beyond. One of the finest public universities in the nation has opened a new online campus to non-traditional and place-bound students, who can gain the academic and career benefits of a University of Illinois education without the barriers of location and scheduled class times. The Global Campus intends to become a national leader in online education, focused on innovation, quality, superior instruction, service, and accessibility.
