University Academic Board Charter

QUT implemented a new committee charter system (database with web interface) in December 2023. This is the first version of this document published in the new Manual of Policies and Procedures application. The document has been migrated and reformatted to enable publication but is reflective of the approved and current version that was in effect at the time of implementation.
