Emily Carr University's Accessibility Plan
Emily Carr University is proud to present this initial blueprint toward a fully realized accessibility plan that strives to create an inclusive, barrier-free environment for everyone who engages with our learning institution. This plan represents the first step of many as we come together as a community to undertake this deeply important work.
Members of ECU’s community and guests are welcome and encouraged to provide feedback about accessibility at Emily Carr by contacting: accessibility.feedback@ecuad.ca.
Strategic Planning at ECU
Emily Carr University is a space where curiosity, innovation, and bold creative thinking meet.
Our strategic plan is based on our new vision, mission, values and commitments. Together, these foundational statements outline what we do, why we do it, and our shared purpose as a public university of art and design – they also underpin the priorities and objectives outlined in this plan.

Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act + Report
On January 1, 2024 the Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act was enacted by the Federal Government. This Act imposes an obligation on certain entities to report on the measures taken in the previous fiscal year to prevent and reduce the risk that forced labour or child labour is used by them or in their supply chains.
This report is prepared by Emily Carr University of Art + Design in compliance with the Act and is for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. The report was approved by the Board on May 29, 2024.
Public Sector Executive Compensation Disclosure Statements
In British Columbia, organizations defined by the Public Sector Employers Act are statutorily required to disclose all compensation that is paid to the Chief Executive Officer and the next four highest ranking or highest paid executives with decision-making authority earning an annualized base salary of $125,000 or greater during a fiscal year.
The annual executive compensation disclosure is based on the best practice of complete transparency and therefore, full accountability for compensation paid to executives in public sector organizations in British Columbia.
You can find ECU's annual executive compensation disclosures on the Government of British Columbia's website.
Audited Financial Statements
Post-secondary institutions prepare annual audited financial statements to satisfy financial reporting requirements of the various act governing post-secondary institutions and to conform with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).

Quality Assurance Process Audit
Like all BC public institutions, ECU participates in the Government of British Columbia's Quality Assurance Process Audit (QAPA). This ongoing external review process ensures that public post-secondary institutions rigorously assess their program and institutional quality.
Phase One
Phase One of this process involved compiling an Institution Report, which documents ECU's approach to program review and quality assurance and identifies areas for future improvement.
Phase Two
Phase Two involved a site visit by a team of external reviewers for the Quality Assurance Process Audit, which highlighted feedback and suggestions to improve ECU's internal processes for reviewing degree and certificate programs.
Final Report + Action Plan
ECU was one of four post-secondary institutions undertaking the Quality Assurance Process Audit in 2022/23.
