AUBURN UNIVERSITY POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

This website contains official University Policy statements. The process for adopting university-wide policies and maintaining this database is administered by the Office of the General Counsel.

University Policies:

  • apply “university-wide” and pertain to more than one division of the University;

  • enhance the mission of the University;

  • require an executive officers’ review and approval for University Policy adoption and revisions;

  • contain procedural guidelines to inform, constrain, and govern the University;

  • help ensure compliance with applicable state and federal laws and regulations;

  • capture management decisions and provide a record of University operations;

  • promote operational effectiveness and efficiencies and reduces institutional risks; and

  • control in the event of conflict with college, school, department, division, or unit level policies.
    • If a policy fits these criteria, it is a University Policy. If it does not, it is Unit-level Policy.
