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 and Issuance of University Policies and Procedures (1.1)
- Impact Statement
- Policy Revision Form
- Policy Template
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 semi-monthly and applies an institutional perspective to reviewing/endorsing policies.

Policy Advisory Group
Completed policy drafts are “reality-tested” by the Policy Advisory Group (PAG), made up of broad University representation, under the direction of the Vice President for Finance & Operations. Upon PAG acceptance, a policy - in official format - is submitted to the President’s Cabinet for endorsement and the President for final approval and signature.
