University Policies Index
5/3/2024: A new policy process has been implemented to formally approve and maintain University Policies.
University policies are maintained in Guru and the Academic Catalog. If you are looking to post a new policy or make any major changes to existing policies, please review the Policy on University Policies, University Policy Procedure, and Policy Guidelines.
Below is the current list of Guru policies. Policies are organized alphabetically by the department that maintains them. Use Ctrl + F to search the page. You may also search for policies in Guru by using the filter Policy (enter "# Policy" into the search bar).
