University Policies
The Office of General Counsel is responsible for the posting of all university policies. The policies found on this website are the official University policies. In the event a party wants to create a new policy or change an existing policy, the policy template must be requested by contacting the Office of General Counsel (x2-0464). Before requesting policy review by the Cabinet, there are several steps to be completed, including constituent feedback, review by the Office of General Counsel, and the submission of the Equity Impact Assessment. Please use the Checklist for Policy Development to assist in the policy drafting or revision process. The Policy on Policy Development also outlines the full process.
