University Policy Information

  • Summer is the Perfect Time to Review Your Policies

    Did You Know? The Policy on Policies requires all University Policies to be reviewed at least once every three years - even when no revisions are needed. Summer is the perfect time to review and update your Policies.

    Summer can be an ideal time to review policies and procedures to ensure they remain accurate, current, and aligned with university operations, compliance requirements, and organizational needs. Even if a policy does not require substantive revisions, the Policy on Policies requires all University Policies to be formally reviewed at least once every three years, or sooner if warranted by changes in law, regulation, operations, or organizational need.

    Whether you're planning a routine review or preparing a policy revision, now is a great opportunity to get ahead of upcoming governance deadlines.
