Administrative Structure

Government College University Faisalabad was established under The Government College University, Faisalabad Ordinance, 2002, and Punjab Ordinance No. XLVIII of 2002. The Chancellor, who is the Governor of the province, holds the highest authority in the university and, in most matters, acts on the advice of the Pro-Chancellor, the provincial Minister of Education.

The Vice Chancellor is the executive head of the university and oversees its academic, financial, and administrative affairs. He exercises his powers based on the advice and decisions taken by various university authorities. Deans of faculties, Directors of institutes and centers, and Chairpersons of departments are responsible for managing academic matters within their respective institutions.

The Registrar, the Treasurer, the Controller of Examinations, and other officers-in-charge oversee the operations of their respective departments. All academic, administrative, and financial activities of the university are managed and regulated by different governing bodies.

The Syndicate serves as the executive body of the university, taking effective measures to enhance the standards of teaching, research, and other academic activities. It also supervises the management and affairs of the university’s property.

The Selection Board recommends suitable candidates to the Syndicate for appointment to various positions.

The Academic Council advises the Syndicate on all academic matters. It establishes standards for instruction, research, publications, and examinations to promote academic excellence at the university. A particular discipline or a group of disciplines may together comprise a faculty.

Each faculty has its own Board, chaired by the respective Dean. The Board coordinates teaching and research activities within the faculty and acts on the advice of the Board of Studies.

The Board of Studies for each discipline is the primary body responsible for regulating academic matters and making recommendations related to curriculum and other academic areas.

The Advanced Studies and Research Board oversees the promotion of advanced studies and research within the university. Additionally, several other bodies handle academic, financial, administrative, welfare, disciplinary, and other matters related to the functioning of the university.

The Higher Education Commission of Pakistan acts as an intermediary in processing government funding and coordinating academic affairs at the university.
