The Advisory Board for Experiential Learning is a Shared Governance committee that focuses on the quality of experiential learning programs and courses. The Board is charged with reviewing and monitoring operational support needs, policy development, and programming for experiential learning, and reporting to and making recommendations to the Provost.

The Faculty Senate Scholastic Policies Committee Chair will serve as an advisor to the Chair and OTEI and Undergraduate Studies representatives to the Advisory Board for Experiential Learning to ensure feedback from the SPC on any potential policy revisions recommended by the Advisory Board for Experiential Learning.

This committee is authorized by the Clemson University Committee on Committees. Changes to its description or composition should be initiated with the Faculty Senate Office.
