Policy Tools and Development
University policies under the Division of Finance and Operations are owned by a Responsible Office. Representatives of these offices work closely with the Policy Office to draft, consult stakeholders, present for approval, promulgate and maintain their policies.
The following tools are provided to support these representatives through each stage of the development process.
Policy Development Process
- Formulation & Issuance of University Policies & Procedures (1.1)
- Impact Statement Template (1.1.2)
- Policy or Procedure Revision Form (1.1.3)
- Policy Template (1.1.4)
Helpful Policy Documents
A formal process is followed when creating Division policy.
In the development process, policies receive rigorous review by one or both standing committees: President's Cabinet and Policy Advisory Group.
President's Cabinet
President's Cabinet, comprised of University executives, meets weekly and applies an institutional perspective to reviewing policies.

Policy Advisory Group
Completed policy drafts are “reality-tested” by the Policy Advisory Group (PAG), made up of members from within the Division of Finance and Operations. Upon PAG acceptance, a policy, in official format, is returned to the President’s Cabinet for final approval.
