The University is governed by a bi-cameral model, with a Board of Governors and a Senate. The UPEI Senate and UPEI Board of Governors have approved meeting dates for the upcoming academic year.

The Senate normally meets on Friday afternoons at 3:00 pm in the Faculty of Sustainable Design Engineering Building, Room 128, and on Zoom, according to the dates on the Calendar of Senate Meetings web page. All meetings are open to members of the University community. Certain agenda items, including but not limited to the granting of degrees, academic dismissals, and human resources discussions, may require the Senate to go into a closed session.

Board meetings are held at 6:00 pm at Alumni Hall, 618 University Avenue, and on Zoom, according to the Calendar of Board Meetings on the UPEI website.

The next meeting of the UPEI Board of Governors is Tuesday, September 26, 2023.

Board meetings generally include sessions which are open to the public. Certain agenda items, including but not limited to human resources discussions, may require the Board to go into a closed session. For logistical purposes, members of the public who wish to attend the open session of a meeting are asked to contact board@upei.ca.
