Academic Computing Services

Sub-series consists of the Vice-President, Academic's correspondence with, related to, or copied from Academic Computing Services (ACS), and records relating to the activities and deliberations of university committees with responsibilities for university computing policies, operations, and services. Since its inception in 1991, ACS has remained within the reporting portfolio of the VP Academic. Activities and topics documented in the correspondence include policy development and strategic planning for IT services, including the review of ACS and Operations and Technical Support (OTS) in 1998; systems upgrade planning; operations of the SFU Microcomputer Store; and the activities of the Academic Computing Services Committee, the Administrative Computing Coordinating Committee, the Committee on Instructional Computing, the Committee on Research Computing, and the University Computing Advisory Committee. Records include correspondence, reports, meeting agendas and minutes, agreements, and strategic plans and other planning documents.

Academic calendars

Sub-series consists of academic calendars published in print form by the university for each academic year. The sub-series represents a complete run of all print editions, from SFU's first academic year (1965-66) to the final year for which a print edition was produced (2009-10).

From 1965-66 until 1981-82, SFU produced separate calendars for undergraduate and graduate studies. The format changed in 1982-83, with a single calendar covering both undergraduate and graduate programs. The calendar continued in this format until 2010, when the university discontinued the print edition. Since that time, SFU maintains the calendar as a web-based product only. At the present time of writing (October 2017), the digital records for the calendar from 2010 onwards remain in the custody and control of Registrar's Office / Student Services.

In 2015, the Archives digitized a complete set of the calendars. This sub-series includes both the print editions and digitized copies.

Activities and topics documented in the correspondence include operations and services of the Centre; faculty and student advisor appointments; and participation in the Education Information Centre Consortium (a collaboration of post-secondary institutions operating an office in downtown Vancouver starting in 1980).
