Syllabus National Advisory Council
The RAIC Syllabus Program is the alternate pathway to architectural licensure in Canada. The Syllabus National Advisory Committee (SNAC) provides guidance and oversight concerning the operation of the Syllabus Program and its RAIC Syllabus Professional Diploma in Architecture on behalf of the RAIC Board of Directors.
The SNAC is an eight-member panel that:
- Ensures the Syllabus Program is grounded in the profession;
- Ensures work-study is the foundation of the program;
- Supports the RAIC’s operational role of the program;
The RAIC is currently seeking four licensed architects, one of whom is a Syllabus graduate, to support the committee’s mandate. The committee work is conducted through email and teleconference, with a single annual meeting at the RAIC Festival of Architecture. Activities of committee members include the following: support strategic planning, participate in Syllabus task groups, assess program documents, adjudicate student appeals, ratify policies and procedures, and promote the Syllabus program.
RAIC members with a combined interest in architectural education and learning in practice are encouraged to apply.
