The Policy Office administers the policy development process, manages policy publication and catalogs, and advises on policy-related inquiries and education. On this site you can find a complete repository of current University Policies and their supporting documents. The site also provides details regarding the policy development and approval process, and useful information to help support policy development and management at the University.

The Policy Office has updated the categorization of University Policies in an effort to streamline their organization, use a more intuitive approach, and better reflect the administration and governance of the University.  The Policy Office has also updated the numbering system used for University Policies, moving away from an historical practice that is no longer relevant as the University no longer uses a physical, printed publication to communicate its Policies. University Policies are now organized by these new categories as described below, and each University Policy has a new identifier made up of the initials representing the new category and a unique number within that category (e.g, AO 01). While new Policies will only have this identifier, all Policies in existence prior to this change will continue to also have their previous identifiers noted (e.g., AO 01). If you have any questions, please contact the Policy Office.
