What is the process for adopting a new or amending an existing policy or procedure and in the proper format for publication on the Web?
A. New policies or procedures generally arise from requirements imposed on the campus by the legislature or by the University Office of the President. New policies or procedures may also be the result of a perceived need by a department to provide guidance or control in a specific area which will be applicable to all campus entities. A department that wishes to sponsor a new policy or procedure should consult with other affected campus departments and staff to develop a well-rounded policy or procedure draft proposal. The draft proposal should be submitted to the Administrative Policies Coordinator who will reformat it for anticipated publication as part of the online APPM, determine the level of review that will be needed and, upon completion of the review, forward a final version to the appropriate Issuing Officer for approval. The same steps are followed for amending an existing policy or procedure, except that the review required is usually much simpler. For more information, see D
