University Policies

Policies support the University's mission by establishing clear standards for individual conduct, supporting operational efficiency, promoting legal compliance, and mitigating risk.

The University works to establish and maintain effective policies by using a thorough review and approval process set forth in the Policy for the Management of Administrative Policies (or "Policy MAP").

This comprehensive webpage gives the campus community a convenient way to access University policies.
