Abstract

Crisis planning in institutions of higher learning has focused largely on emergency management, physical safety and technology recovery. While these are clearly important, many aspects of planning for continuity have largely been ignored, including planning for the post-secondary education sector’s core business, that is, the delivery of graduate and undergraduate academic programmes. Use of the term ‘academic continuity’ as a component of institutional planning is relatively new in higher education. Discussions on academic continuity have often centred on the use of technology-enhanced education and online teaching in the event of crisis or disaster affecting campuses. However, online approaches are only one aspect of academic continuity planning. Using examples of two different crisis situations encountered at a large urban university spanning three campuses, this paper presents an approach to academic continuity planning that can potentially serve as a model for other institutions.
