The college is a statutory body which is part of the Faculty of Arts.
The college refers, in the wider sense, to all students enrolled for degrees and graduate diplomas offered by the college, and all staff, including academic, administrative, technical and clerical.
On the Caulfield campus, the college has the departments of Ceramic Design, Fine Art and Graphic Design, the Centre for Industrial Design, the History of Art Unit and the college office. The college has two schools: the Peninsula School of Art at Frankston and the Gippsland School of Art at Churchill.
The main business of the college is delegated to the college board which normally meets five times a year. The college board comprises heads of schools, departments and centres, representatives from the academic staff of the college, student members of the college, and representatives from the Faculty of Arts.
Except in certain matters on which it has power to act, the college board makes recommendations through the Faculty of Arts faculty board to the university's Academic Board or through the Academic Board to the University Council.
The college board has standing committees which have the power to act on behalf of the board when an immediate decision is required. These committees include:
(a) the Undergraduate Studies Committee, which advises the board on matters relating to the undergraduate and honours degrees of the college;
(b) the Graduate Studies Committee, which advises the board on matters relating to graduate programs of the college;
(c) the Occupational Health and Safety Committee, which advises the board on health and safety issues in the college;
(d) the Exclusions Committee, which advises the board on students with unsatisfactory progress
(e) the Research Committee, which advises the board on research issues of the college.
The chief officers of the college are the director of the college, and the executive officer (who are located on the Caulfield campus). The director is a professor of the college and presides over meetings of the college, the college board and its committees. The executive officer is responsible for registrar and financial functions of the college.
